“Early on October 29, Sandy curved north-northwest and then moved ashore near Brigantine, New Jersey, just to the northeast of Atlantic City, as a post-tropical cyclone with hurricane-force winds.”

‘Twasn’t showers!

“Twasn’t a hurricane either....not even Cat 1. It was a tropical storm with hurricane force winds near it’s center at landfall. It is a hurricane storm when it has SUSTAINED winds over 73 mph...not gusts. Sure...it was windy, yes, it was rainy. Not a hurricane though at landfall.

No, but it wasn’t a hurricane....hardly anyone experienced even a hurricane worthy gust. But as in most coastal storms (including northeasters), the damage is caused by water and not by wind. I have often thought that helped Obama win reelection and I read some part of a research paper that was published that claimed it helped sway a small sliver to vote for him, but I guess we will never know for certain.
