Video: Path of Hurricane Sandy: NOAA animation shows New Jersey and Delaware to bear full force of storm The centre of Hurricane Sandy is forecast to move over the coast of US mid-Atlantic states by Monday night, the US National Hurricane Center has predicted. Hundreds of thousands of people have been evacuated from low-lying areas along the US eastern seaboard, from Virginia to Massachusetts, as the Category 1 storm is expected to bring life-threatening flooding and winds of 85 miles per hour. A Google map of Sandy's projected path shows Delaware and New Jersey will bear the brunt of the storm as it follows Delaware Bay inland.
