From The Weather Channel: This mammoth tropical storm-force wind field was more than double that of both Isaac and Irene at their peak extent (450 and 460 miles, respectively), and even exceeded the tropical storm-force wind fields of both Hurricanes Ike and Katrina, although those had much higher wind speeds.

Social media picks up the slack as people lose power.

From the Wall Street Journal: "As the power flickered off in millions of homes around New York and New Jersey, many like Ms. Ben-Shahar had been forced to give up on television and radio and rely almost exclusively on social media, where the storm played out on the tiny screens of mobile devices in a hugely fast-paced alternative narrative of destruction."

Forbes does a case study of how a Facebook page can help people prepare for disasters like Hurricane Sandy:

"Thanks to the remarkably effective Facebook page “Hudson Valley Weather” I feel I am as prepared as one could reasonably be, both practically and emotionally. I owe them a significant debt for the information they provided, as well as the resulting peace of mind that comes from being prepared."
