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

same things could be asked any time a tornado hits the midwest or a wildfire breaks out in Colorado disasters happen and people wont change there ways until it hits too close to home but at that point its only a small fraction of collectors

Seriously???
This was a category 1(just short of a cat 2) hurricane then it mixed with an historic low pressure system off the coast, a cold front from the west & add the blocking high pressure system over Greenland. Essentially it was 3 storms or storm systems combined. The storm surge was the highest in nearly 200 years in NY/NJ. Freak storm? You bet but no way is it something you or anyone deals with all the time.
