Hurricane Sandy

Bleached their bath tubs duck taped drain closed and filled it with fresh water to drink

Andrew was the strongest hurricane to hit Florida in 30 years. It landed a record as being the third strongest hurricane to hit the U.S. in the 20th century.

Nothing, because this is currently impossible.

When the storm surge of a hurricane comes in at high tide the affect is worse, as the height of the high tide is added to the storm surge to produce a storm tide. The high tide is highest during the full and new moon phases.

it happened in the new orleans

Hurricane Sandy behaved in a similar manner to the Perfect Storm of 1991 in how it combined with an extratropical storm system and gained strength.

Although Sandy was only a Category 1 hurricane when it made landfall on Atlantic City, NJ on Monday, October 29, 2012, other factors combined to make it a "perfect storm." Hurricane Sandy came from a merging of several things; a storm beginning in the warmed waters of the ocean, a funneling of cold air from the Arctic that pushed it onto the coast, and a high tide that coincided with the storm swell.

Other factors that made Sandy a unique storm: its extremely low pressure (946 millibars on landfall), it's size (almost 1,000 miles wide), and it's path (making a sharp left turn into the Jersey shore, powered by high pressure from a system in Canada).

It killed 26 people by direct effects, and 39 indirectly.

The center of Sandy is expected to hit New Jersey and not New York. However, Sandy is such a large storm that the entire state of New York is at risk of strong winds and flooding. New York City and Long Island will probably feel the worst effects.

A hurricane's wind speed can sometimes knock down certain things, like trees. They can blow trees down onto houses. Also, the rain from the storms can cause flooding. Stronger hurricanes can use their wind speeds to destroy houses without using projectiles.

Hurricane Sandy originated as a tropical disturbance that first developed over Africa and was carried by the Trade Winds to the Caribbean. There, the water was warm and there was relatively little wind shear, which allows the system to develop into a hurricane.

People would rely largely on their instincts, remembering what the air would "feel like" before a storm or a rain. As it became more of a science, early meteorologists would use their ability to recognize specific types of clouds, the direction and speed of the wind, and other weather indications to attempt to predict what the weather would be like in the near future.

Hurricane Katrina was the most expensive hurricane in terms of destruction, and it was certainly among the worst natural disasters to hit the USA since 1900. About 1800 residents of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast died, either directly or indirectly as a result of Katrina. However, Katrina was not the worst in terms of number of deaths. The Galveston Hurricane of 1900 killed an estimated 6,000 to 12,000 people, while the 1928 Okeechobee Hurricane, killed around 2,500.

Yes but Katrina was stronger than Ike .

Yess Ike was bigger then Katrina who did more damage well Katrina did it hit a city Ike hit Crystal beach and if you go look at the pictures at cystal before and after only maybe every mile a couple of houses still stand well lets stop talking about the aftermath lets got to facts. FACT #1 Ike was to times bigger then Rita and Katrina..... FACT #2 Katrina was stronger in winds by 30 miles an hour not that big of a difference but in FACT #3 Ike storm surge was a Cat5 surge as big as it gets now Katrina was only a 3 but still that is big.... Fact 4 Ike was a little bit smaller then the State of Texas it was so big at one time it was hitting Mexico,Texas,Louisiana.Mississppi.and part of Florida at the same time now that big... now if Ike would of hit the same spot at the same time and lets act like Katrina hasn't even happened yet ok soo if Ike hit the same spot and the same time Katrina did Ike storm surge would of been bad the winds would be one thing at 120mph and gust up to 150 yea and another FACT Ike was the slowest storm to ever hit the U.S it hit Texas 10:38pm and winds were down at 45mph at 11am the next moring winds were down to 25 at 2pm that same day and at 3:30 winds were down to mph soo yes Katrina was bigger in wind speed by 30mph and gust by 10mph but Ike had bigger Storm Surge lasted the longest and was the biggest sooo it would hit Texas and Florida at the same time soo that is all the Facts ok and to sum everything u Rita that hit in 2005 that pounded Texas it was bigger in winds and storm surge and in size then Katrina only reason why Katrina is a big deal is it was the first Hurricane to hit new Orleans and come on new Orleans is under sea level and there sea wall were old out of date and can only with stand a Cat2 thank you and i will be posting more answer later have a nice day God Bless!!!

Hurricane Katrina stopped because when she reached the land she didn't have any water or power source!

Hurricane Sandy formed on October 22, 2012 and for the most part dissipated on October 31.

813 houses overall were destroyed.

There are a few ways. First of all, Hurricane Sandy ended up combining with another storm system in a manner similar to the Perfect Storm of 1991. This resulted in an abnormally large cyclone with gale force winds covering an area 1,100 miles across. Sandy had transitioned into an post-tropical cyclone and so technically was not a hurricane at landfall, though it was just as strong as one.

Hurricanes impacting the U.S. east coast will either continue moving north or turn east and head out to sea. Hurricane Sandy was unpecedented in that it turned west, slamming directly into the East Coast.

That is unknown. Hurricane Sandy has not yet made landfall in the U.S. and damage has yet to be assessed in other locations.

In short, it is too early to tell.

sandy was a category 1 at landfall in the U.S.
