Best Answer

Hurricane Sandy's impact on the U.s. east coast was the result of something called a blocking pattern. A powerful high pressure system over Greenland stalled the normal eastward flow of weather systems in the temperate latitudes and Sandy from moving further north. So Sandy made an unprecedented turn to the west and into the U.S. East Coast.
