Sandra was the fourth named system of 2139 (when naming of tropical depressions was still common, Tropical Depression Pete was named earlier in the season), and the second named storm within the then-Liverpool England Meterological Service Cyclone Prediction Centre's new expanded area of responsibility (before the new Hurricane Prediction Centre took full control of naming and advising on storms in 2140).
Sandra made landfall as a Category 1 hurricane on Laudo Deo, causing at least 36 deaths, and at least L£1.5 billion in damage (preliminary estimates).
