GREAT LAKES MAKE WEATHER CHANNEL'S TROPICAL UPDATE?

Hurricane Sandy 
Our thoughts are with the people on the East Coast who were hardest hit by this superstorm.

Never thought I'd see the day when the Great Lakes made the Weather Channel's Tropical Update and Hurricane Central, but Sandy was 900 miles wide. Her swath hit from New York and New Jersey all the way to Chicago and north to the Arctic Circle. Her fringes spawned 74 mph winds kicking  the Great Lakes into waves two stories high that called a halt to shipping for two days.
