Hurricane Sandy and Hurricane Irene

I was doing some research on the two Hurricanes that hit the East  Coast one in 2012 (Sandy) and one in 2011 Hurricane Irene.  Many people believe that this sort of thing could happen again sometime between now and November. It is possible that the Global Climate change effect can bring Hurricanes later in the season which seems to increase the problems for the Northeast Coast of the U.S.

The other problem is rising Sea Levels and increasing problems if a Hurricane is sustained during closer to winter storms with no time for a wintertime recovery if hit again at high tide.

So, I guess now we are in a potential danger zone made even more eerie by no named Hurricanes in the Atlantic yet this year. Kind of spooky, huh?

Hurricane Irene was in August 2011 and Hurricane Sandy was in the last week of October 2012.
