    This visible image was taken from NOAA's GOES-13 satellite on October 26 at 1415 UTC (10:15 a.m. EDT) and shows Hurricane Sandy's huge cloud extent of up to 2,000 miles while centered over the Bahamas, and the line of clouds associated with a powerful cold front approaching the US east coast. Hurricane Sandy powered along the US east coast Friday on a path to pound the US as a powerful "Frankenstorm," after leaving 28 dead in the Caribbean. While the storm continued to lash the Bahamas with heavy rains and high waves Friday, forecasters were looking ahead to Tuesday, when the storm could collide with a seasonal "nor'easter" weather system, super-charging it while drawing it west onto land. =RESTRICTED TO EDITORIAL USE - MANDATORY CREDIT " AFP PHOTO / NASA GOES PROJECT/" - NO MARKETING NO ADVERTISING CAMPAIGNS - DISTRIBUTED AS A SERVICE TO CLIENTS =HO/AFP/Getty Images ** TCN OUT **

    This National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) image taken by GOES East Satellite on June 6, 2013 shows Tropical Andrea. Tropical Storm Andrea, the first of the Atlantic storm season, formed in the Gulf of Mexico on Wednesday and was expected to become a hurricane within 48 hours, the US National Hurricane Center said. "This system has a high chance -- near 100 percent -- of becoming a tropical cyclone during the next 48 hours," the Miami-based NHC warned, with the storm forecast to hit the US state of Florida. The storm earlier produced driving rains in Cuba's westernmost Pinar del Rio province and led authorities to evacuate more than 1,000 people from low-lying areas.The Atlantic hurricane season started June 1 and runs through November 30.
