Tropical storm Sandy is 18th tropical storm this season

Tropical storm Sandy, the 18th named tropical storm this season, is projected to become a hurricane that will pose a threat to Jamaica, Cuba, Haiti, the Bahamas and eventually the United States. If Sandy makes it to the United States, the damage will be likely in southeastern Florida, but officials say that there is a chance that the northeastern part of the state will also experience a significant storm.
