- Summary: 2012 Hurricane Sandy began battering the U.S. East Coast on October 29 with fierce winds and driving rain, as the monster storm shut down transportation, shuttered businesses and sent thousands scrambling for higher ground hours before the worst was due to strike. About 50 million people from the Mid-Atlantic to Canada were in the path of the nearly 1,000-mile-wide (1,600-km-wide) storm, which forecasters said could be the largest to hit the mainland in U.S. history. As Sandy ripped through New York City with hurricane force winds, a huge fire destroyed dozens of homes in one of the city's most remote neighbourhoods, Breezy Point in the borough of Queens.
