Sandy was a big storm because of where it hit not how bad a storm it was. It was a decent hurricane but it slammed into a dense target of homes and businesses.

“Sandy” was a tropical storm by the time it touched down on land in the US, not a hurricane.

Did it even have hurricane-force winds when it made landfall? I thought it had already fallen below the threshold when it hit land.

I don't think Sandy was any worse than a Category 2, but the area it hit was just very vulnerable.
