Sandy came onshore in New Jersey on October 29. It was the largest Atlantic hurricane ever recorded--1150 miles across—and caused coastal floods as far east as Cape Cod. Coastal flooding occurred in Narragansett Bay and along the southern Rhode Island coast, increasing in severity to the west (closer to the center of the storm), but the damage was slight compared to western Long Island and the New Jersey coast. Flooding in Rhode Island was around 4 feet above normal, while closer to the center of the storm it reached a maximum of 9 feet.
