Hurricane Grace was a short-lived Category 2 hurricane that contributed to the formation of the powerful 1991 Perfect Storm. Grace initially had subtropical origins, meaning it was partially tropical and partially extratropical in nature. It became a tropical cyclone on October 27, and ultimately peaked with winds of 105 mph. Grace was eventually absorbed into the large circulation of the larger low pressure system and became a large and powerful nor’easter that caused severe coastal damage along the East Coast.
About Hurricane Grace in brief
Hurricane Grace was a short-lived Category 2 hurricane that contributed to the formation of the powerful 1991 Perfect Storm. Grace initially had subtropical origins, meaning it was partially tropical and partially extratropical in nature. It became a tropical cyclone on October 27, and ultimately peaked with winds of 105 mph. The storm had minor effects on the island of Bermuda as it passed to the south. Grace was eventually absorbed into the large circulation of the larger low pressure system and became a large and powerful nor’easter that caused severe coastal damage along the East Coast of the United States. Despite the light impacts from Hurricane Grace, the resultant nor’Easter caused extensive coastal damage, high winds, and high waves for several days in New England and the Carolinas.
The storm became commonly known as “The Perfect Storm” and is considered one of the most significant storms of the 20th century, along with Hurricane Katrina and Typhoon Haiyan. The remnants of Grace became completely indistinguishable by the next day as it was completely absorbed by the passing extratopical storm on October 30. It is believed that the storm’s peak intensity was 75 mph, which would have made it a mere Category 1.
