"Much of the East Coast of the United States, in Mid-Atlantic and New England regions, had a good chance of receiving gale-force winds, flooding, heavy rain and possibly snow early in the week of October 28 from an unusual hybrid of Hurricane Sandy and a winter storm producing a Fujiwhara effect."

"Its storm surge hit New York City on October 29, flooding streets, tunnels and subway lines and cutting power in and around the city."

"During this change in direction, Sandy began to transition into an extratropical cyclone, a process it completed before making landfall near Brigantine, New Jersey, late on October 29."

"Sandy briefly re-intensified to Category 2 intensity on the morning of October 29, around which time it had a wind diameter of over 1,150 miles (1,850 km).[26] The convection diminished while the hurricane accelerated toward the New Jersey coast,[27] and the hurricane was no longer tropical by 2100 UTC on October 29."
