Anniversary of the Perfect Storm

By Jesse Ferrell, AccuWeather meteorologist

Published Nov 1, 2009 1:17 PM EST | Updated Nov 1, 2009 1:29 PM EST

Copied

This weekend is the 18-year anniversary of the mother of all Nor'easters, the "Halloween Storm", "Halloween Nor'easter", "Unnamed Hurricane", "No-Name Storm" or "Perfect Storm" (which of course was the title of a book and movie). This storm occurred when Hurricane Grace transferred its energy into a low pressure system off the Northeast Coast (something that almost happened in 2005 with Hurricane Wilma).

You can read more about this storm on NCDC's website, NOAA's report, or WikiPedia.
