Moccasin Musing takes note, Perfect Storm was one day later…

Moccasin Musings 
On this day, in 1991, the so-called "perfect storm" hit the North Atlantic producing remarkably large waves along the New England and Canadian coasts.  This arrival in 1991 is one day later than  Hurricane Sandy (aka Frankenstorm) yesterday.
 The 1991 Perfect Storm spread its fury over the ocean off the coast of the U.S. and Canada. The fishing boat Andrea Gail and its six-member crew were lost in that storm. A book and a movie were made out of the tragedy. Sadly, history repeated itself this year with Sandy when tall ship The Bounty was dashed in the shoals of Sandy and two members of the crew were lost at sea.
Moccasins tromp out signals of regret and empathy with all that are affect by these two storms.
