I'm not too fond of Sandy being called a Super Storm. Freak storm that brought damage to an area that wasnt ready and prepared for storm. But in Florida its something we deal with all the time. Bad timing, Wrong area = bad damage

I totally agree with this. A super storm, by it's definition, is a ambigious term that is always a cyclone. Just calling it what it was, a massive storm that lost hurricane status before the eye hit landfall, isn't dramatic enough for todays news. Now I'm not saying it wasn't devastating, as I live near Houston and Tropical Storm Allison wreaked havoc dumping an absurd 37 inches of rain in 5 days, but you didn't hear anyone mis-applying weather terminology for the sake of dramatization
