Superstorm Sandy: Unraveling the mystery of a meteorological oddityActually what did the most damage was the Nor'Easter that followed Superstorm Sandy.Sandy knocked out both power and cell towers here for weeks.
Some "superstorm" it made landfall with wind speeds of less than 90 miles per hour..
It is all fake news all the time with you guys isn't it...and fake history whenever you think you can get away with it.
One of the more important lessons is the notion that when it comes to storm surge, storm size is just as important as strength of the sustained winds. Big storms such as Isabel (2003) and Ike (2009) have demonstrated very large “integrated kinetic energy” (IKE) – basically, their ability to mobilize massive amounts of seawater out of proportion to their wind intensity alone.
As demonstrated by CWG’s Brian McNoldy, of all the hurricanes tallied over several decades, Sandy sits near the very top of the IKE curve, even though it was only a Category 1 off the Eastern Seaboard.
Never mind the fact that it happened to come assure during a spring tide...pure coincidence in fact, but sinister evidence of man made climate change according to the cult religion...kind of like sacrificing humans to keep the sun coming up every morning.
