The term "frankenstorm" is used to describe a large, hybrid storm that combines characteristics of different weather systems, particularly when a hurricane interacts with other weather fronts, such as a nor'easter. The name evokes the idea of Frankenstein's monster, which is made up of various parts stitched together. This phenomenon can lead to severe weather conditions, including heavy rainfall, strong winds, and significant storm surges. The most famous example of a frankenstorm is Hurricane Sandy, which in 2012 combined with a winter storm to cause widespread devastation.
