Meteorologists in the United States are saying that Sandy could become the storm of the century.
But what makes Sandy so special?
We have to look at the big picture to understand why a system in the Bahamas has the potential to impact the U.S. and Canada.
Models suggest that Sandy will make an unusual left-hand turn and head straight for the northeastern U.S. by early next week. No storm has ever taken this exact path.
We've seen many storms that have tracked along the coast - like Hurricane Irene - or storms that have veered out to sea.
Sandy could make an unprecedented left hook
Sandy could make an unprecedented left hook
But Sandy's unprecedented left-hook could strike the coast, slamming into the most populated part of the United States.
The storm's track could go anywhere from New England, all the way towards North Carolina.
There will three things to keep an eye out for in the days to come:
1. Storm surge: This storm has the potential to bring a lot of water into the northeast side of the U.S.
2. Wind: Winds will have the potential to bring down a lot of trees, and could leave millions without power.
3. Rain: Sandy could bring a monster swath of precipitation, extending from North Carolina, all the way up through the northeast U.S.
While the northeast U.S. will bear the brunt of the storm, parts of Canada could see some disturbances from Sandy.
By late Monday and early Tuesday, southern Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes could see some strong winds and heavy rain, although the storm will be more severe in the U.S.

Just adding a note folks to start your generator to ensure it will be ready in the event of need. Your generator SHOULD be started once a month. Ensure that the battery (if electric start is an option) is fully charged. I run ours for 5 minutes, once a month. Always add a stabilizer to your gas as well as it is doubtful you are using it regularly for emergency purposes. It is a real pain to attempt starting a generator who's fuel has not be given a stabilizer and has not tested monthly. One other thing ... make sure you have at the ready a fresh supply of gasoline too!

back in the 50s a hurricane came in over the land,and lost a lot of it's ooomph,but when it got over the great lakes (mainly lake ontario) it recovered a lot of its power and was reborn again into hurricane hazel ! one of theworst,(most costly) storms to hit ontario ! that year the lakes were quite warm(like this year) and that is how it became repowered !
makes me nervous !
