Lots of people are downplaying Hurricane Sandy because they're saying Hurricane Irene wasn't a big deal.
But that isn't true. Hurricane Irene was the 5th costliest Atlantic Hurricane of ALL TIME.
Still don't believe me? Here's a reminder of what Hurricane Irene did to the Northeast:
1. Windham, New York
2. Harwington, Connecticut
3. Vermont
4. Fairhaven, Massachusetts
5. Princeton, New Jersey
6. Governor Cuomo's car driving through Margaretville, New York
7. Fleischmanns, New York
8. Margaretville, New York
9. Route 100 in Vermont
10. Tannersville, New York
11. Windham, New York
12. Mendon, Vermont
13. Ocean City, Maryland
14. Patchogue, New York
15. Brooklyn, New York
16. Woodstown, New Jersey

19. Vermont
20. Brandon, Vermont
21. Vermont
22. Newark, New Jersey
23. Scoharie, New York
24. Scotia, New York

And as you can see in this gif, Hurricane Sandy is much bigger than Irene. Be safe!
