Hurricane Sandy may have been an attack on the United States of America by Iran.

Hours after Super-storm Sandy howled its way through the East Coast, unleashing a fatal trail of destruction, global reactions included outpouring of sympathy and support. In Syria however, pro-government supporters welcomed the super-storm, claiming the natural disaster is the result of high-tech secret Iranian engineering.

CNN Source, Pro-government group “News Network” of the Syrian Armed Forces stated on a Facebook posting:

“Sources confirmed to us that Hurricane Sandy that is slamming the U.S. was set off by highly advanced technologies developed by the heroic Iranian regime that supports the resistance, with coordination of our resistive Syrian regime,”

“This is the punishment for whoever dares to attack Syria’s (Bashar) al-Assad and threaten peace and stability.”

Comments accompanying the post, which had more than 300 likes, ranged from derision to support. Was Hurricane Sandy another attack on the city of New York? (another September 11, 2001?).

Sandy was a Tropical Storm when it made landfall in the NE.

Sandy was the result of natural weather patterns increased by climate change.

What Is Climate Change? | United Nations

Climate change refers to long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns. Such shifts can be natural, due to changes in the sun’s activity or large volcanic eruptions. But since the 1800s, human activities have been the main driver of climate change, primarily due to the burning of fossil...

If Iran had a hurricane machine it could unleash on the United States, shouldn't we be seeing more hurricanes make landfall? What's the point in having a hurricane machine if you only use it once?

This is the dumbest thread of the week. And it's only Sunday.

No, Sandy was sent by Space Aliens. And she is most likely an Illegal Transsexual Israeli Immigrant.

Hurricane Sandy’s devastating storm track is a rare one among hurricanes. The track of the storm — which took an unusual left-hand turn in the Atlantic before slamming into the East Coast — has an average probability of happening only once every 700 years. “The particular shape of Sandy’s trajectory is very peculiar, and that’s very rare, on the order of once every 700 years,” said Timothy Hall, a senior scientist at the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies. That means that in any particular year, the chance of such a storm track happening is 0.0014 percent.

An article by Spencer Platt states: http://realtruth.org/articles/121027-001.html

“Normally, when hurricanes approach the East Coast from Sandy’s angle, they are pulled safely out to sea by a semi-permanent low-pressure center near Iceland. This time around, that low pressure isn’t there. In fact, it’s been replaced by a high pressure so intense it only occurs approximately 0.2% of the time on average. The coincidence of that strong of a high pressure ‘block’ being in place just when a hurricane is passing by—in and of itself a very rare occurrence—is just mindbogglingly rare. It’s the kind of stuff that’s important enough to rewrite meteorological textbooks. The result, instead of heading out to sea Sandy’s full force will be turned back against the grain and directed squarely at the East Coast.”

“It wasn’t supposed to happen. That’s what the weather experts kept saying immediately before, during and after Sandy smacked New Jersey in the face. Not this far north, they said, not in autumn, and certainly not this bad.“
