It is amazing that They already knew in 1997 that hurricane Sandy was going to follow a path along the eastern coastline and then hit Long Island, so they went ahead and simulated it.
Now that is planning ahead ! Very impressed. They even knew to call the storm hurricane Sandy too back in 1997.
I had no idea we had the ability to track storms 15 years in advance.
