I noticed earlier that my post about last year’s major New England storm was getting a ton of action today. It’s probably time to get some info up about Hurricane Sandy.
I’ll keep updating this page when I come across data sets or mapping sites with pertinent information about the event. If you have a good link post it in the comments section!
