My article was on the hurricane sandy and how it went about in the north east. The article was very long and elaborate about how it went about and the damage it made there . I was interested by the article because of the storm being very current. And my mothers cousin being caught in the middle of the hurricane. This article falls under the environment Area of Interaction. This is because the hurricane was part of the environment and affected a lot of environments and changed the quite well.
Hurricane sandy a storm that started in the the atlantic ocean .The storm was on monday night. That night just happened to be the full moon resulting in already high tide that evening. With the the storm surge the Hurricane was extremely powerful. The hurricane must have seemed as though it was category one but it had a storm surge and power of category two. The storm had a cold front behind and warm front in the front powering it even more on land. The storm itself cause 20 billion dollars of damage. 9 billion just because of the wind and claimed 12 lives. The storm wind was magnified immensely in New York because of the tall sky scrapers making the wind push itself even faster through the gaps of the towers.
