Hurricane Sandy

Not my photo, of course, but this was the size of the storm that first wrecked the Caribbean, and then bulls eyed New Jersey. The Cat-1 winds may have been unimpressive by hurricane standards, but with an area a thousand miles across, and the lowest atmospheric pressure ever recorded north of Cape Hatteras, Sandy caused biblical storm surges for hundreds of miles up and down the coast.
