Sandy "Gives Up the Ghost"

This video animation of Sandy’s life cycle is an incredible view of just how far this storm traveled. The NOAA’s GOES-13 satellite imagery (released by the NASA GOES Project) runs from October 23 through yesterday, when Sandy was officially downgraded to a remnant low pressure area. The fact that the storm “gave up the ghost” (so to speak) on Halloween has provided great fodder for the twitterverse, apparently.
