Remembering The Perfect Storm
- "The massive storm system developed in the Atlantic during the days preceding Halloween in 1991, affecting the New Jersey coast on Oct. 28 and 29 of that year. According to archived National Weather Service reports from the time, the storm formed when a low pressure system moved off the coast of Nova Scotia and tracked southward, rather than dashing out to sea, and formed an extratropical cyclone. That storm system combined with Hurricane Grace to form an even bigger storm, since the warm air from Grace and the cold air from the low pressure system created something of a meteorological explosion." - excerpt from article in the Barnegat-Ocean Acres Patch.
