Hurricane Sandy

This storm has just strengthened to a category 2 hurricane. This is to be considered a setting for a perfect storm. The full moon will have an effect on the tide raising the water level to almost a foot higher. This storm is also dependent on the incoming low pressure jet stream moving to the east. It might either push the hurricane away or suck it into land. Recently it just went through Cuba and severely damaged the area overnight. Bellow is a a hurricane warning to those who are in danger and the other shows the track of the hurricane in terms of time.

Underneath you can see the predicted path of the storm. The large grouping of lines in the middle show the best possibility of the storm. It is unsure if it is going to head towards land due to the large low pressure current moving from west to east.
