New York City is a low-lying city on the shore of the Atlantic Ocean and has no seawall protecting it. Hurricanes, which bring a storm surge, occasionally travel up the U.S. east coast, sometimes impacting New York.

Why did hurricane sandy happen in New York?

Hurricane Sandy occurred in New York due to a combination of atmospheric and oceanic conditions. In late October 2012, Sandy formed in the Caribbean and gained strength as it moved northward, interacting with a cold front and an upper-level trough. This unique convergence of weather systems caused Sandy to take an unusual left turn towards the U.S. East Coast, making landfall in New Jersey and impacting New York with storm surge, high winds, and heavy rainfall. The geography of New York, particularly its low-lying coastal areas, made it particularly vulnerable to the storm's effects.

How will high tide and a full moon affect storm surge with Hurricane Sandy?
