Hurricane Sandy Hurricane Sandy (unofficially referred to as "Superstorm Sandy")[1][2] was the deadliest and most destructive hurricane of the 2012 Atlantic hurricane season, and the third-costliest hurricane in United States history.[3] Classified as the eighteenth named storm, tenth hurricane and second major hurricane of the year, Sandy was a Category 3 storm at its peak intensity when it made landfall in Cuba.[3] While it was a Category 2 hurricane off the coast of the Northeastern United States, the storm became the largest Atlantic hurricane on record (as measured by diameter, with winds spanning 1,100 miles (1,800 km)).[4][5] Estimates as of 2015 assessed damage to have been about $75 billion (2012 USD), a total surpassed only by hurricanes Katrina and Harvey.[6] At least 233 people were killed along the path of the storm in eight countries.[7][8]
