Hurricane Sandy was just a level three hurricane but its strong winds, low pressure, and fast forward motion of the storm funneled Atlantic ocean waters into a triangle-shaped, low-lying coast of the tri-state. Most of hurricane sandy's damage was caused by a storm surge.

People along the coast would have done something like this to their house, tying up furniture and boarding up windows and doors.

1. Gather an emergency supply kit that includes:
As Hurricane Sandy unleashes its fury on the East Coast, Federal Emergency Management Agency government officials recommend taking several safety precautions to remain safe.

Water, one gallon of water per person per day for at least three days, for drinking and sanitation; you can fill a bathtub with water before the storm gets underway if you haven't bought any bottled containers.

Food, at least a three-day supply of non-perishable food

Get a two week supply for your pets

Battery-powered radio and extra batteries

Flashlight and extra batteries

First aid kit

Whistle to signal for help

Dust mask to help filter contaminated air and plastic sheeting and duct tape to shelter-in-place

Moist towelettes, garbage bags and plastic ties for personal sanitation if you lose water

Wrench or pliers to turn off utilities

Manual can opener for food

Local maps

Cell phone with chargers, inverter or solar charger

2. Before the storm gets underway, secure your home: Close storm shutters and tie down outdoor objects or bringing them indoors. Turn off utilities if you're instructed to do so because of a flooding threat. Otherwise, turn the refrigerator and freezer to its coldest setting and keep doors closed if you lose power. Head to your wind-safe shelter if you're ordered to evacuate.

3. When the storm hits, seek the safest place in your house: If you live in a high-rise building, hurricane winds are stronger at higher elevations, so you should head to a lower floor. Stay indoors during the hurricane and away from windows and glass doors. Close all interior doors, and secure and brace external doors. Keep your curtains and blinds closed to shield against breaking glass. Take refuge in a small interior room, closet, or hallway on the lowest level. Lie on the floor under a table or another sturdy object. Avoid elevators.

Keep an eye on your pets since they can become anxious or more aggressive during times of very low pressure due to storms.

4. After the storm, avoid risky after-effects: Follow these food safety tips if you lose power during the storm to avoid getting food poisoning from spoiled food. You should also steer clear of downed power lines. Make sure pets don't wander outside if there are downed power lines. Also, familiar scents and landmarks may be altered by fallen trees and branches, which can be confusing to your pet. Snakes, insects or animals driven to higher ground by floods can also be dangerous to your pets. Columbia Gas of Massachusetts told residents who experience flooding in and around gas meters and appliances to call them at 800-525-8222. They also recommended turning off the electrical power to each appliance and leaving it off. If you notice a strong gas odor, or if there is other evidence of a natural gas leak, do not enter your house.

Any wet electrical wiring is extremely hazardous, and the main electrical supply should remain shut off until a municipal inspector conducts an inspection of the wiring. Any loose wires should be considered "live'' and a hazard. Do not attempt to place natural gas appliances back in service yourself, recommended Columbia Gas. A licensed plumber or contractor needs to check, clean, repair and pressure test all gas pipes, which may have been clogged with mud or debris.

Hurricane Sandy struck New Jersey in October 2012 as a potent cyclone. This caused over 60 billion dollars in damage and more than 7 million people lost their power. The number of deaths from hurricane sandy is counted at 147.  Death counts for the U.S. totaled 72 and Haiti was the 2nd most-affected country and had 54 deaths. In October, the path of Hurricane Sandy was correctly predicted by the European center for medium-range forecasts (ECMWF) head quartered in England. This was almost 8 days before it struck the American east coast. Several local weather Services issued "high wind warnings," "Coastal flood warnings," and other watches and warnings as a way of letting people know. But at the start, hurricane sandy wasn't forecasted to hit land as a hurricane so the hurricane center did not issue its usual hurricane watches and warnings until the storm got closer to the coast.

Typically, each hurricane usually lasts for over a week. They move 10-20 miles per hour over the open ocean. Hurricanes originate in the Atlantic basin, which includes the Atlantic ocean, Caribbean sea, and gulf of Mexico. They can also form in the north pacific ocean, and less frequently, in the central north pacific ocean. For a hurricane to be able to form, there has to be warm ocean water and moist humid air in the region. When humid air sis drifting up into a low-pressure zone over warm ocean water, the waters release creating the clouds of the storm. As it rises, the air in the hurricane rotates.

In the city, many people began to evacuate the area, and casinos closed and tollways were suspended. Everywhere, people boarded up their homes and tied down outdoor objects. And since winds are stronger at higher elevations, people went and stayed in their lower floors and basements, and if you had some common since, you stayed inside.
