You Don't Need a Time Machine, Dude: When Did Hurricane Sandy Hit NYC?
Hey there, history buff (or maybe you're just bad with dates – no judgement!). Ever spaced on that random trivia question about a monumental event? Fear not, because today we're tackling the doozy of "When did Hurricane Sandy wreak havoc on New York City?"
Hurricane Sandy: The Not-So-Sandy Beach Day
For those who haven't heard the epic tale, Hurricane Sandy wasn't exactly a day at the beach with a fruity umbrella drink. This superstorm, more like a super villain (we're talking power outages, record-breaking floods, and enough destruction to make Godzilla blush), slammed into the East Coast in late October 2012.
But wait... October is kinda big. We need specifics, my friend!
Drumroll please... Hurricane Sandy's unwelcome arrival in New York City came crashing down on Monday, October 29th, 2012.
Bonus Fun Fact: Hurricane Sandy wasn't just a bully picking on NYC. The entire East Coast felt the wrath from Florida all the way up to Maine. But hey, we're focusing on the Big Apple today!
So there you have it! Now you can impress your friends at your next trivia night, or at least avoid that awkward moment when someone asks, "Wait, I thought it was November?"
P.S. If you're curious about the aftermath (and let's be honest, who isn't after a superstorm?), there are a ton of documentaries and news articles out there. Just be prepared for some serious "wow, that was crazy" moments.
