This is what Bloomberg.com writes:
"Sandy may combine with a second storm coming out of the Midwest to create a system that would rival the New England hurricane of 1938 in intensity, said Paul Kocin, a National Weather Service meteorologist in College Park, Maryland."
If current forecasts are correct, Sandy will be worst storm in 100 Years seen for Northeast U.S.
