Wanda started as a non-tropical disturbance off the east coast on October 23 and tracked north, eventually developing into a nor'easter.
Between October 25-27, the Northeast felt many impacts from the nor'easter.
Heavy rain caused flooding across the Northeast, and gusty winds caused power outages. Several hundred thousand people in Massachusetts lost power as a result of winds over 80 mph.
It wasn't until this storm moved way out to sea where it developed sub-tropical characteristics, becoming Sub-tropical Storm Wanda on October 30.
It meandered over the open ocean before becoming a tropical storm on November 1 and continued to stay over open water.
It became post-tropical on November 7.
