Storm Sandy about to make landfall on New Jersey coast-Hurricane Center

Oct 29 (Reuters) - Massive storm Sandy is on the verge of making landfall along the south New Jersey coast, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said on Monday.

Sandy, a huge storm system, is now considered a "post-tropical cyclone," meaning it still has hurricane-force winds but lost the characteristics of a tropical storm. (Reporting by Kevin Gray; editing Christopher Wilson)
