US - 2012 Hurricane Sandy, New Jersey

According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Hurricane Sandy affected 24 states and all of the eastern seaboard. Causing an estimated $88.5 billion in damages, it was the fifth-costliest US storm behind Hurricane Katrina in 2005, Hurricane Ian in 2022, and hurricanes Harvey and Maria in 2017, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Hurricane Sandy (unofficially referred to as Superstorm Sandy) was an extremely large and devastating tropical cyclone which ravaged the Caribbean and the coastal Mid-Atlantic region of the United States in late October 2012. It was the largest Atlantic hurricane on record as measured by diameter, with tropical-storm-force winds spanning 1,150 miles. The storm inflicted nearly US$70 billion in damage (equivalent to $93 billion in 2023), and killed 254 people in eight countries, from the Caribbean to Canada. Hurricane Sandy was a Category 3 storm at its peak intensity when it made landfall in Cuba, though most of the damage it caused was after it became a Category 1-equivalent extratropical cyclone off the coast of the Northeastern United States.
