Historical Context

The Great Atlantic Storm of 1991, also known as the Perfect Storm, caused extensive damage along the U.S. East Coast, particularly in New Jersey and New York, with wind gusts exceeding 70 mph and over 100,000 power outages reported. This storm followed Hurricane Bob, which had already devastated New England in August, highlighting the ongoing vulnerability of coastal regions to severe weather events.
