1934. 1938. 1944. 1960.
Those smacked NY pretty hard, too.
True but it was more than just a bad storm hitting NY that made it unprecedented.
It was the conditions which allowed the storm to develop and track the way it did that were unprecedented.
And it was a BIG storm, winds and water aside. It covered a HUGE land area.

I do, however want you to have real facts and history to put the situation into context with, and all I'm trying to do is provide those.
Yes, I'm an un-emotional, pedantic, son-of-a-b****, except I'm really not. The Atlantic has hated New York since before the Dutch owned it and it was New Amsterdam.
Watch the YouTube presentation about hurricanes in NY. It offers good historical perspective. Written BEFORE Sandy hit. This was predicted.
