Reflection*

 Big hurricane that called Sandy hit U.S. This hurricane was different from usual hurricane. First, other hurricane is usually make a right turn and go to sea as they travel north up the coast. However, Sandy turns left and go to straight inland. Second, Sandy expected to get slightly stronger when it moves north. Hurricane became weakly as reach cooler water, but Sandy is different. That' why Sandy will recieve cool air before it reach island, and it will become something like a winter storm because of cold air. In sum, hurricane usually will be  powered by warm ocean water. However, strange hurricane like a Sandy will be powered by pressure and temperature differences in the atmosphere. Sandy is bad one because nobady can expect its progress even profeccional of weather. Sandy will be remembered as the storm that broke all the rule in future. People cannot forget the Sandy, and it became the new hurricane so far.
