Hurricane Sandy was the largest Atlantic hurricane on record, as well as the second-costliest Atlantic hurricane in history, surpassed only by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. According to recent accounts, victims of Hurricane Sandy have been streaming into temporary emergency rooms and relief centers complaining of rashes, asthma, and coughing. Some need tetanus shots after mishandling waterlogged boards and getting poked by rusty nails.
