Summary:
"The largest Atlantic storm system ever recorded -- a hurricane like no other. The storm's immensity caught the attention of scientists on the International Space Station -- from there, it seemed almost limitless. Initially a tropical storm, Sandy had grown into a hybrid monster. It charged across open ocean, picking up strength with every step, baffling meteorologists and scientists, officials and emergency managers, even the traditional maritime wisdom of sailors and seamen: What exactly was this thing? And then the storm made landfall. Sandy was not just enormous, it was also unprecedented. As a result, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration couldn't issue reliable warnings; the Coast Guard didn't know what to do. Inside the maelstrom, the stories of dedicated professionals at the National Hurricane Center and National Weather Service. The characters include a forecaster who risked his job to sound the alarm in New Jersey, the crew of the ill-fated tall ship Bounty, Mayor Bloomberg, Governor Christie, and countless coastal residents whose homes-and lives-were torn apart and then left to wonder. When is the next superstorm coming?"--Provided by publisher.
