WTF mods? These are the FACTS, which I posted earlier this afternoon, and you deleted the facts while leaving Big Fella's blatant LIE intact. How do you explain such shite moderation??

FACT:

Hurricane Sandy was the deadliest and most destructive hurricane of the 2012 Atlantic Hurricane season, as well as the second-costliest hurricane in United States history.

Sandy was a Category 3 storm.

The storm became the largest Atlantic hurricane on record (as measured by diameter, with winds spanning 1,100 miles (1,800 km)).

Estimates as of June 2013 assess damage to have been over $68 billion, a total surpassed only by Hurricane Katrina.

At least 286 people were killed along the path of the storm in seven countries. The severe and widespread damage the storm caused in the United States, as well as its unusual merge with a frontal system, resulted in the nicknaming of the hurricane by the media and several organizations of the U.S. government "Superstorm Sandy".
