Grace(1991), was never a major. It barely reached CAT 2 status.

Ok...

Grace, was a hurricane that formed off of Bermuda, and there was a developing Extratropical LOW off of Sable island, which is off of Nova Scotia. On the 29th, Hurricane Grace, became extratropical (basically one thunderstorm), and was sucked into the LOW.

The LOW, then moved westward, and on the 1st of November, the LOW became a hurricane. The reason they called it the perfect storm, is because it wqas so rare.

Oh okay, found a picture of Hurricane Grace on Wikipedia. Certainly not that terribly impressive, but I think you could do a lot worse than any given hurricane. Say... Grace 2003... Matthew 2004, Lee 2005.

Also:

1. The difference created between the deep low pressure of the storm, and the intense High Pressure area to it's West, generated gradient winds on the Western half of incredible force.

2. It retrograded (moved back towards the coast)

3. It stayed in the same general area for about a week (five days unless I'm mistaken); which allowed the winds to blow relentlessly, and the waves to just build and build and build.

What is that? I can't even find the center of circulation. Fay looks like a Fake, Lee was a loser, Grace was gross, Matthew needed a makeover, Arlene needed aid, Emily was ewww, Ana also needed aid, and Henry wasn't even anywhere near hell.

I guess HH914 is referring to Arlene of another year and Emily of 1999.
