The wider storm

As Hurricane Sandy moved north, paralleling the Eastern Seaboard, the surface pressure gradient increased across Georgia, resulting in a period of strong to high winds across the state. Portions of the northeast Georgia mountains experienced the strongest winds, but many areas in north Georgia experienced gusts over 40 mph.
