There are two types of flooding associated with Hurricanes/typhoons. The first type is the coastal flooding called storm surge. The second type is caused by excesive rainfall, and is called flash flooding. Storm surge is a huge dome of water pushed to the coast by the incoming hurricane/typhoon. This high wave of water can sometimes be added to by the natural high tide. Flash flooding is caused by the rainfall the storm brings with it. Flash flooding happens when water rapidly accumulates on the ground, because the ground is either already too saturated to absorb any more water, or is too dry to absorb it. In either case, the water runs off the land, overflows rivers and streams, sometimes filling valleys, roads, and low lying areas.

Like most hurricanes, Sandy started as a disorganized cluster of thunderstorms called a tropical disturbance, in this case over the Caribbean Sea. By feeding on the moisture evaporated from warm ocean water this disturbance strengthened and organized into a tropical cyclone. This storm then traveled northward. As Sandy moved parallel to the U.S. east coast it interacted with cooler air and an extratropical weather system and began to lose tropical characteristics. Eventually, a powerful high pressure system over Greenland produced a blocking pattern, the weather equivalent of a traffic jam, and prevented Sandy from continuing northward or turning eastward as other east coast hurricanes do. Instead, Sandy made an unprecedented turn westward, slamming into the east coast as a hybrid cyclone.

Hurricanes are classed by categories. These categories are determined by the wind speed of the storm. The most powerful hurricanes are a Category 5. This was the category of Hurricane Katrina that decimated New Orleans in August of 2005. In order to be classified as a Category 5, the wind speeds must reach an excess of 156 mph or 251 KM/hr. These storms are so powerful, it will be mandatory for homes all the way up to 10 miles from the shoreline. They cause major structural damage, rip up trees and street signs, and usually bring flooding.
