“New York’s Staten Island: A 168-foot water tanker, the John B. Caddell, sits on the shore Tuesday morning, Oct. 30, 2012 where it ran aground on Front Street in the Stapleton neighborhood of New York’s Staten Island as a result of superstorm Sandy.”
A few highlights on Sandy’s Statistics:
- “940 millibars: Sandy broke the all-time record for lowest pressure north of the Carolinas by 6 millibars previously held by the Long Island Express of 1938.
- 12.49 inches: About a foot of rain was the highest amount I could find from Sandy
- 96 mph: The wind from Sandy was quite impressive. The highest gust seemed to have occurred in Eatons Neck, New York.
- 13.88 feet: The record high water level at Battery Park”

How Many Tornadoes Will We Have in 2012?
Since records began in 1950, through 2011 there were 3651 tornadoes in March (for an average of 59 per year). The number in March 2012 is highly uncertain. The number of tornadoes will be in the dozens, but it is impossible to know what the final number will be. Surveying and confirming these tornadoes will take days.

How many tornadoes have there been?
There have probably been 600 in April, according to Harold Brooks of the National Severe Storms Laboratory (NSSL) in Norman, Oklahoma. That is more than any month since records began in 1950.
What is causing the onslaught?
For a tornado to form, cold air must sit above warm, moist air, and the wind needs to go in different directions at different heights, creating shear forces. “One thing that brings those things together is a strong jet stream,” says Brooks, “especially if it comes from the west or south-west, over the Rockies.”That is exactly what has been happening throughout April. The jet stream has dipped south over the south-western US, sending strings of storms over the southern states for weeks on end. According to Brooks, such a sustained pattern happens only two or three times a century.
