October 29th is the 13 year anniversary of Superstorm Sandy at the Jersey Shore. With Hurricane Melissa making landfall in Jamaica as the strongest hurricane on record in the Atlantic Ocean Basin, it feels like a good time to compare the two.
Melissa was a Category 5 hurricane and Superstorm Sandy was a Category 1 hurricane. Despite the Saffir-Simpson scale differences, WeatherBell’s Power and Impact Scale tell a different, perhaps more accurate picture of the two storms.
