Sandy did so much damage because the area it hit was NOT prepared for hurricanes they normally hit the Carolina's or the rest of the south not New Jersey or New York.Sandy was Cat 1, barely a hurricane when it hit the US.Wasn't Sandy 2012?
Sounded like quite an event with a sizable economic impact. I’m not sure arbitrary storm categorizations by meteorologists indicate a given universal level of destruction to all locations, but whatever. Has nothing to do with the thread’s purpose.
How do you explain away this then....
Record warm oceans have spawned scary slate of monster tropical cyclones
The Washington Post

(excerpts)
In the past six months, the Earth has witnessed several of the freakiest, most intense storms in recorded history. Spurred by the highest ocean temperatures observed to date, record-breaking tropical cyclones — the class of storms that includes hurricanes and typhoons — have explosively developed in three regions: the northeast Pacific Ocean, the south Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean. These storms may be a harbinger of increasingly severe tropical cyclones in future decades as the Earth continues warming.
...Hurricane Patricia (October 2015) became the strongest storm measured to date by the National Hurricane Center in the Northeast Pacific. Its peak winds reached 215 mph before it slammed into Mexico’s west coast. Patricia was just one of 25 Category 4 or 5 tropical cyclones in 2015 in the NorthernHemisphere, the most on record by far.

Another Old Fraud mental midget article..
What causes Tropical Cyclones? Surface heat of the ocean and a cooling troposphere above it. IF the earth is warming and the top of the troposphere was warming this would LESSEN the temperature gradient which spawns these types of storms. IF the oceans are cooling and the troposphere is cold it Lessens the temp gradient, lowering the pressures which create these storms and directly drive there size and power.
Both the troposphere and the oceans are cooling leaving no new heat to drive the storms today. Fundamental physics of these storms escapes you alarmists and those you claim to have superior knowledge of how the system works but cant even model them correctly outside of three hours.
