October 29, 2012 was a great and bad day for meteorology. Hurricane Sandy – unofficially known as Superstorm Sandy – was making landfall, affecting millions of people along the U.S. Mid-Atlantic and Northeast coasts. It was to be the deadliest and most destructive hurricane of the 2012 Atlantic hurricane season, as well as the second-costliest hurricane in United States history.
Sandy pushed ashore as a transitioning extratropical cyclone producing heavy rains, large storm surge, and even a winter storm in parts of West Virginia. The damage was extensive along the U.S. Northeast coastline and water from the Atlantic Ocean pushed ashore destroying buildings and bridges, and bringing saltwater into the subway stations of New York City.
Sandy killed nearly 110 people in the United States and an additional 72 people that lived in the Caribbean and Canada. The total death count is still uncertain as of today as some reports assert that the death toll is higher in the United States.
Sandy was responsible for nearly $65 billion (U.S) dollars in damage.
