karakter van de storm, waardoor sommige berichten uit het Engels wel heel spectaculair vertaald kunnen worden.
After Sandy exited Cuba, dry air and increasing shear restricted the outflow and caused the structure to become disorganized.[20] A mid-level low over Florida turned the hurricane toward the north-northwest.[21] By early on October 26, most of the convection was sheared to the north of the center, and the size of the storm increased greatly.[22] By the next day, the NHC remarked that Sandy was "showing characteristics of a hybrid cyclone... like an occluded frontal low." However, the system maintained a warm thermal core, and despite strong 60 mph (95 km/h) wind shear, the hurricane continued to develop thunderstorms due to good divergence from a nearby trough; the same trough turned Sandy toward the northeast.[23] On October 27, Sandy briefly weakened to a tropical storm, after dry air became fully ingested into the mid- and upper-level circulations.[24] Later that day, however, wind reports from the Hurricane Hunters indicated that Sandy re-intensified into a hurricane.[25]
