A question, from a historical perspective. From the wunderground Weather History blog:

The Great Storm of October 29, 1693: Virginia to Long Island

A tremendous storm, possibly tropical in origin, changed the course of rivers and modified the coastline from the Delmarva Peninsula to Long Island. It is believed that Fire Island (just east of New York City) was bisected by the storm. The same apparently occurred to many coastal portions of the Delmarva Peninsula and region around Chesapeake Bay.

This hit on the same calander day as Sandy and sounds much more severe.

It also hit a long, long time before the onset of the industrial revolution.

So IMO that makes the argument that Sandy was triggered or affected by global warming harder to make. When you have a precendent from outside the era of human-added CO2, hitting at exactly the same time of year in the same region, it shows that natural forces alone are capable of triggering such an event.
