The NOAA has produced a rather disconcerting animation that captures computer modeling of Sandy as the storm makes landfall in the Northeastern US.

In the animation, the storm hits land and then stalls, swirling around the New York City area like it’s trying to go down a drain, before being whipped to the north.
