So, about Hurricane Sandy...

[LaptopCommandStation]

Post tropical, actually, as it wont make it back to sea.

[Rissian]

At least it's dying down now if it's a tropical storm, hopefully everyone is doing okay. Our satellite has been off for a month or so my only storm info comes from the Internet, radio and whatever channels still work on the TV currently.

[Book Smarts]

The storm passed through, now it's sunny where I'm at

[ShadowHeart]

I wont be hit by it but i saw coverage and it looks horrible! I hope it doesn't effect the election too much

[SapphirePony]

Last night it caused my tv to glitch up a lot, but it also supposedly killed 67 people, I hope their families are okay

[LaptopCommandStation]

The storm killed 69 people in the Caribbean, 16 people in the States and 1 person in Canada 

This thing is MASSIVE, even hours after making landfall

Spoiler: Wow! • show

[Zaner-Boy]

Welp, power just came back on. That wasn't too terrible.

[Stitchin Time]

  I hope everypony's okay!

Holy cow... I just realized that that thing is going over my area too! I didn't realize it was going so far north.

[LaptopCommandStation]

Yep, There are/were warnings in place for Ontario, Quebec and the maritimes 2 days before the storm made landfall.

I'm not sure about the states but i'm sure there were warnings along the entire eastern seaboard from Georgia to Maine and as far inland as Michigan and Indiana.

i wonder if its bigger then Katrina?

I'm inclined to think so... At least Katrina didn't start blowing wind around in wisconsin

I'm pretty sure it's the BIGGEST in terms of area affected, though the intensity is much less.  It was still a category 1 last time I checked, which was admittedly a while ago.

[Xeno Aura]

I'm pretty sure it's the biggest hurricane to hit the US mainland.

But from what I've heard, it didn't really go above 100MPH in terms of wind speed, whereas Katrina reached 175MPH at points.

Sandy reached Hurricane category 1 shortly before hitting the US I think, but now it's classed as a post-tropical storm as opposed to a hurricane.

I'm pretty sure it's the biggest hurricane to hit the US mainland.

Hurricane Hazel anypony?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Hazel

I remembered this one while studying meteorology in high school, as it was a big deal in Canada

[Xeno Aura]

Doesn't appear to be any info on Hazel, in terms of how much of an area it covered.

I know hurricane speeds were recorded about 150 miles from Sandy, and tropical storm winds up to 500 miles away.

Next to no power and a few fallen trees, damage is minimal in my area

[SapphirePony]

My friend, Thrsa, told me on the phone a bit ago, that Sandy caused trees to fall on the streets of her town, which isn't very far away from mine, I just cracked up.. but sadly trick or treating is post poned  Also, Sandy attacked the tree in our front yard, and stole someone's flag and put it in my yard 

[Lary]

I died.
