This document analyzes the impacts of Hurricane Sandy around New York City and the Hudson Valley using data from remote sensors. It shows that storm surge from Sandy reached 9 feet and the storm tide peaked at 14 feet in New York Harbor around 8-9 PM on October 29th. The data also indicates that Sandy's storm surge extended over 145 miles north to Albany, where the storm tide reached around 11 feet 4 inches between 4-5 AM on October 30th. The document uses graphs and data from instruments like tide gauges and buoys to examine the storm's effects.

Examining The Impacts of Hurricane Sandy on Rhode Island: A serious wake-up call!
This presentation was given by David R. Vallee (Hydrologist-in-Charge, NOAA/NWS/Northeast River Forecast Center) at the Shoreline Change SAMP Stakeholder Meeting on April 4th, 2013.
Hosted on the campus of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Dr. Emanuel addresses the recent tragedies of Hurricanes Harvey and Irma, together with earlier extreme events such as Hurricanes Katrina and Sandy, has raised the question whether the apparent increasing severity of such events can be attributed to the human influence on greenhouse gas warming. Dr. Emanuel will review the growing consensus that the incidence of the strongest storms will increase over time, even though there may be a decline of the far more numerous weaker events.

The Newport–Inglewood fault zone (NIFZ) of southern California.
I. The Newport–Inglewood fault zone (NIFZ) was first identified as a significant threat to southern California residents in 1933 when it generated the Magnitude 6.3 Long Beach Earthquake, killing 115 people.
A. The Newport Inglewood fault is located in southern Los Angeles County in the city of Inglewood and transverses south to Newport Beach in Orange County where it becomes an off shore fault.
B. The NIFZ then connects to the Rose Canyon Fault none, becomes a landward fault in San Diego County.
C. This is a stress reliever Strike-Slip Fault Zone associated with the San Andréas Fault Zone.
D. Ground water basins in Los Angeles County may be used as predictors of fault movement due to sudden changes in ground water level.
E. In southern California, tectonic deformation between
the Pacific and North American plates is accommodated primarily by a zone of strike-slip faults,
II. This fault is important to the exploration of Oil.
A. The NIFZ has been studied extensively in the Los Angeles basin by petroleum geologists.
B. The NIFZ overlies a major tectonic boundary separating eastern continental basement rocks of granitic and associated metamorphic rocks of Santa Catalina Island schist.
C. The NIFZ follows along a former Mesozoic subduction zone.
D. This fault is associated with several oil basins including Newport Beach, Huntington Beach, Seal Beach, Long Beach, and Signal Hill.
III. Earthquake Potential for Los Angeles, Orange and San Diego Counties.
A. The epicenter for the 1933 Long Beach Quake was located in Newport Beach just south of the Santa Ana River discharge into the Pacific Ocean.
B. Orange County in 1933 consisted of small farm-towns, cattle ranching and agricultural fields.
C. The closest city of significant development was Lang Beach, which was devastated by the 1933 6,3 quake.
D. Today cities of Newport Beach, Huntington Beach, Costa Mesa, are large population centers, which have replaced agriculture as the primary economic sector.
E. The rate of ground water basin contraction is important in determining possible earthquake releases in the Los Angeles Basin.
F. Many Orange and Los Angeles county buildings are located along high risk development zones during earthquakes.
IV. Earthquake Monitoring and Prediction
a. The location of the 2000 cluster is southwest of an area of active faulting from 1982 to 1990 along this zone and reported strike-slip offshore fault between Newport Beach and the San Joaquin Hills was traced from seismic activity.
b. Analyzed microseismicity from a cluster of epicenters between 2 and 2.5 km along the fault zone suggest potential earthquakes of higher magnitude are possible.
c. A possible 7.5 magnitude earthquake could result from rupture of the entire fault. The 6.5-km depth of the Newport Beach seismicity cluster does not provide informat.

Cathy Law has been teaching since 1995. Passionate about her work she teaches a wide range of science classes at New Paltz HS. She started the Courtyard Gardens in 2008 to create an outdoor learning center dedicated to understanding and improving the environment and enable learning that is problem based and interdisciplinary.
The gardens now feature 200+ species of perennials and grasses chosen for hardiness, adaptability, seasonal variation, and attractiveness to birds, bees, and butterflies. Protected by the school’s inner courtyard, the 15 gardens are a sanctuary for wildlife, serve as an outdoor lab for students, and feature themes including Zen, culinary, medicinal, scented, native, silver, and a stone garden featuring specimen boulders.

2. Storm surge and wind were responsible for most of the damage caused by
Sandy around New York City and in the Hudson Valley. This presentation
analyzes what happened using information from instruments on the water that
send their data to the World Wide Web.

3. This graph shows water levels at the Battery, Manhattan’s southern tip, during the week before Sandy hit.
The ups and downs are high and low tides; zero is the average level of the lowest low tides. The blue line
shows predicted tides – the red line, actual tides. The green line gives the difference between the two,
caused by weather or other factors. There was little difference between predicted and actual tides in this
time period. NYS Department of Environmental Conservation
4. This graph shows water levels at the Battery as Sandy approached and hit. The green line - the difference
between predicted and actual levels - shows storm surge due to Sandy. How high was it? The red line
shows actual levels, combining high tide and storm surge. This is called the storm tide. How high was the
storm tide? When did maximum flooding occur?

5. Troy
Albany
Port of Albany
The Hudson River is an estuary from New York Harbor north past Albany to Troy, 153
miles from the Battery. Tides affect the river all the way to Troy. Do you think that
Sandy’s storm surge influenced water levels at Albany, 145 miles north of the Battery?

6. This graph shows water levels at Albany as Sandy moved in. Did its storm surge have an impact in Albany?
Was there a storm tide? If so, how high did it get? Did it happen at the same time as the storm tide at the
Battery?

7. Storm surge is caused by strong
winds and low atmospheric
pressure over the ocean. To
cause the highest storm surge
in New York Harbor, what
direction would winds blow
from?
a) North to East (0-90 compass
degrees)?
b) East to South (90-180

As Sandy closed in on Monday afternoon, Oct.29, wind direction rapidly shifted from northeast at 1400
Eastern Daylight Time (2 PM) to southeast. (click) Wind speed reached 47 knots (54 miles per hour)
around 2000 (8 PM) with gusts (click) to 60 knots (69 mph). This piled water into New York Harbor, causing
a record storm tide at the Battery just before 9 PM.
