Hurricane Sandy (also called ‘Superstorm Sandy) caused an estimated $86 billion in damages and became one of the all-time biggest and most destructive storms in US history.
The hurricane and its post-tropical cyclone was directly responsible for almost 150 deaths in the United States, Canada and the Caribbean.
Superstorm Sandy was actually several storms wrapped together, which made it so extremely powerful.
It turned New York and many surrounding cities into a disaster zone – flooding streets, tunnels, subway lines and cutting power grids in and around the city.
