It does.
However, people should pay attention to this storm. It is serious.

They mean the same thing sis.. People in the US do call them Cyclones.. Usually NHC calls them Cyclones also.. But when saying it's name they use Hurricane..

Isn't that what I said? Hurricanes, cyclones, typhoons—all the same type of storm. The only difference is the location of the storm. The location of Sandy makes it a hurricane.

Am just saying sis.

Worse than Katrina, damage wise.. And possibly weather wise too..

Lets not get carried away..... Sandy has weak winds 75 mph.. It'a bringing lots of moisture on the left side of the system.. But the main problem with sandy is that it's covering a HUGE area.

I always wonder how they choose hurricane names

Not trying to take away from the severity of the situation, but this makes it waaay more difficult for Romney at this point- especially if the good people of the swing states VA and Ohio think that Obama handled the situation well.

Right. Katrina was Cat. 5. This is currently Cat. 1, with a peak of Cat. 2.

It's supposed to get EVEN bigger? It's already one of the largest on record.

Right.

I understand informing people of the impeding event, but sensationalizing it is not going to help.

Wind strength doesn't mean anything.. It will have winds like a Cat 2 when it's complete.. But winds mean nothing when it comes to size, pressure, and snow.. Because of how big it is, it will cause alot more damage.. Plus it's hitting a more populated area too, so that also factors into the damage.. There is a huge amount of snow being dropped in WV etc.. No Snow in Katrina.. The pressure is almost at the same level as Katrina, and Hurricanes power are factored by pressure.. This is worse than Katrina..

there's a set of names they have that is rotated every 4 years or so

The guy that devised it came up with like 40 names and it just goes in order from whichever hurricane comes up

After the 40 names are finished they reuse them unless a one was so massive that they have to retire it
