Here is the five day forecast of the storm. It has already hit land and has caused millions of damage and taken many lives. President Obama has already cancelled presidential stops to return to Washington to help with FEMA. He declared this storm is now considered a national disaster.
























There are currently eight million people on the east coast that are without power. There is also substantial flooding in New York and New Jersey.

This storm is a great example of how the swiss cheese method because now that the hurricane is moving in land it is pulling cold air from the north down. It is continuing in land and heading towards the great lakes. This storm has now picked up snow, and has been changing the weather conditions in these areas. This storm is considered the perfect storm because of this oncoming cold front, the moon cycle making the tide higher and the already strong hurricane.

In Queens, over 50 homes were destroyed by a fire storm caused by this storm. Here is the aftermath of the damage.
