Get this - a tropical storm warning is now in effect for Bermuda for #Sandy. That's how huge this storm is.

by The Weather Channel via twitter 10/27/2012 9:06:22 PM
NHC will not be issuing TS/Hurricane advisories, instead, local offices will handle high wind, flood advisories

by Weather Underground via twitter 10/27/2012 9:08:58 PM
Why? Because Sandy is expected to not be tropical at some point. Would be confusing if hurricane warnings disappear.
