Sandy Pummels Mid-Atlantic U.S.; At Least 13 Dead

HeadlineOct 30, 2012

Superstorm Sandy has pounded the mid-Atlantic United States, bringing massive flooding and damage that’s left at least 13 people dead and more than seven million people without power. Sandy made landfall in New Jersey on Monday night after being reclassified as a post-tropical cyclone. But it still brought hurricane-force winds and rain, making it one of the largest storms the United States has ever seen.
