Sandy is a hurricane that is very powerful and becomes a hurricane when the magnetic force acts upon it and it starts spinning. It is becomes stronger when there is warm water so that is why it dies down when it hits the land. They can produce heavy rains, strong winds, and even produce tornadoes very easily because the winds are spinning.

The meteorological history of Hurricane Sandy lasted for over a week in October 2012. Besides, hurricane Sandy was the eighteenth named storm and tenth hurricane of the 2012 Atlantic hurricane season. In the Atlantic/East Pacific Oceans, it is called a hurricane. In the West Pacific Ocean, it is a typhoon. In the Indian Ocean, it is known as a cyclone.
A hurricane starts as a tropical depression and progresses to more severe storms. The different stages are classified based on their sustained wind speeds. A powerful hurricane can kill more people and destroy more property than any other natural disaster.
