Superstorm Sandy
Oct. 30, 2012 - Sandy's post-landfall effects range from record storm surge in New Jersey to blizzards in North Carolina. Hurricane Sandy pummeled the East Coast late in 2012's Atlantic hurricane season, causing 159 deaths and $70 billion in damages. Days before landfall, forecasts of its trajectory were still being made. Among the earliest to predict its true course was NASA's GEOS-5 global atmosphere model. The NASA model not only produced an accurate track of Sandy, but also captured fine-scale details of the storm's changing intensity and winds.
