On October 29, 2012 Superstorm Sandy, a monster late-season hurricane and hybrid tropical-temperate zone storm hit, leaving millions without power for up to two or three weeks. My house lost power for almost exactly 96 hours;
October 29, 2017, today, we had Biblical-heavy rains, probably over 4" in many areas, over 6" in some.
Does G-d or climate change target one date? I am having my doubts that it's coincidence.
It's coincidence. Atmospheric conditions don't care about human factors such as what date it is. What do they feed these people?
Maybe because the tropics are still lively at this solar time of the year and the arctic begins kicking down some contrasting air masses it's a bit of a sweet spot for bad storms. Remember, Sandy was pulled in from the southeast, which is rare this far north, because of a broad, winter-type trough over the Hudson Bay and Great Lakes area. Normally storms move southwest to northeast by 40° north
I think late October is just a good time climatologically for these types of storms. The 1991 perfect storm occurred around a similar date, as did the storm with the second lowest non-hurricane barometric pressure ever in the United States.
Yes it's all climate change. It's a conspiracy. Jet fuel can't melt steel beams. Hurricanes don't just decide to form by themselves, no doubt this had some outside "help"
Why must we drag God, or even religion into this...............nature does what it pleases, there is no conspiracy or causative effect around the 29th of October or around any date for that matter, weather events are just weather events, whether the impacts are catastrophic or not has nothing to do with God or any religious belief

But nature doesn't care that humans have deemed today "29 October". It's coincidence. As for God, many people don't believe in one, and as for climate change, must we bring politics into everything?
