The 1991 'Perfect Storm' marks its 35th anniversary this week
Original: 1991's 'Perfect Storm' happened 35 years ago this week
Weather outlets are marking 35 years since the 1991 'Perfect Storm', the powerful nor'easter that formed off the US East Coast in late October and early November 1991. The storm combined a cold front, a low-pressure system and the remnants of Hurricane Grace, generating massive waves that sank the fishing vessel Andrea Gail and killed its six crew, a tragedy later made famous by the book and film of the same name.
Why now: Anniversaries of major weather events draw renewed attention, especially one made famous by a bestselling book and Hollywood film.
