One of my pet peeves is calling “Sandy” a super storm...
It was barely a category one...
Granted the storm surge was very bad, partially a case of bad timing on the tides and wind direction...
Also the area of surge damage was small compared to other major storms...
But it happened in the Northeast so it was a special storm...a SUPER storm...
Yes just like all the media hype of Katrina was chocolate town but look what happened in Mississippi.
