Today the topic which I choose is on Hurrican Sandy.
As Hurricane Sandy Strikes, we Muslims living in this part of the world pray for the safety and security of the people living in this part of the world.
During calamities we need to double up our du’aas .
So start with a description of Hurrican Sandy.
Hurricane Sandy was a tropical cyclone which affected portions of the Caribbean, Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern United States in late October 2012, and became the largest Atlantic hurricane in diameter on record, with winds spanning 1,100 miles (1,800 km). The eighteenth tropical cyclone and named storm and tenth hurricane of the 2012 Atlantic hurricane season, Sandy developed from a tropical wave in the western Caribbean Sea on October 22. It became a tropical depression, quickly strengthened, and was upgraded to a tropical storm six hours later. Sandy moved slowly northward toward the Greater Antilles and gradually intensified.
On October 24, Sandy was upgraded to a hurricane, shortly before making landfall in Jamaica. Upon moving farther north, Sandy re-entered water and made its second landfall in Cuba during the early morning of October 25 as a Category 2 hurricane. During the late evening of October 25, Sandy weakened to Category 1 strength; in the early hours of October 26, it headed north through the Bahamas. Sandy briefly weakened to a tropical storm in the early morning hours of October 27, then restrengthened to a Category 1 hurricane later that morning. Just before 8 a.m. EDT on October 29, Sandy turned to the north-northwest and started to make its expected approach towards the U.S. coast. At 7 p.m. EDT that evening, Sandy was declared a post-tropical cyclone, while still maintaining Category 1 strength. Sandy made its final landfall 5 miles (8 km) southwest of Atlantic City, New Jersey at about 8 p.m. EDT on October 29.
In the United States, Hurricane Sandy affected at least 22 states, from Florida to New England, with tropical storm force winds stretching far inland and mountain snows in West Virginia. The cyclone brought a storm surge to New York City on the evening of October 29, flooding numerous streets, tunnels and subway lines in Lower Manhattan and other areas of the city and cutting off electricity in many parts of the city and its suburbs.
Meteorological records :
1.The storm surge pushed water to 13.88 feet (4.23 meters) at Battery Park, New York, beating the previous record of 10.02 feet (3.05 m) set by Hurricane Donna in 1960 in the same place.
2.The barometric pressure hit a record low of 948 millibars over Atlantic City, New Jersey, it topped the previous record of 961 mb set in 1932.
3.Sandy took the number 2 spot in terms of sheer size since 1988, according to Weather Underground. The only storm to beat it was Hurricane Olga in 2001.
4.Sandy beat the famous 1938 New England hurricane for the most intense storm, at 940 millibars, to hit land in the United States north of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina.
5.The same buoy in New York Harbor reached a record level when it measured a 32.5-foot wave on October 30 that was 7.5 feet taller than a 25-foot wave registered by Hurricane Irene in 2011.
6.Sandy's strength, for a hurricane to hit the northeast, cut electricity to a record number of people in the Northeastern United States, according to utility company numbers.
According to the IHS Global Insight, a forecasting firm, Superstorm Sandy will end up causing about $20 billion in property damages and $10 billion to $30 billion more in lost business.
The short-term blow to the economy, though, could subtract about 0.6 percentage point from U.S. economic growth in the October-December quarter, IHS says. Retailers, airlines and home construction firms will likely lose some business.
The storm cut power to more than 8 million homes, shut down 70 percent of East Coast oil refineries and inflicted worse-than-expected damage in the New York metro area. That area produces about 10 percent of U.S. economic output.
These Storms , Hurricans and other disasters are the signs of Allah, Allah is giving warnings again and again that we will correct our acts.
If Today America is affecting with this disaster,we have to help them and pray to Allah for the forgiveness.
We are becoming far from the reality of God(Allah).
These are the signs for the Peoples.
Let Start helping them and show that we are good as a human and also as a Muslim.Our Religion always teach us Humanity as a first step.Allah is the best planner .

Our Society is also becoming a hell on earth with the qualities of Injustice,Betray and Bad Deeds.These Type of Hurricans can also hit us if we will not come to the right path.
Ask for forgiveness from Allah Almighty and Start eliminating the Bad deeds from Your Personality.
Come towards Allah.
May Allah bless u and Hope that we will think and start helping others. Ameen
