The perfect storm was a combination of Hurricane Grace, which formed near the Bermudas, being forced northeastward into the Maritimes by a very strong Arctic cold front descending from Canada. This added push from the front helped to accelerate the speed at which the hurricane tracked towards the Maritimes. As a result, the hurricane didn’t have time to lose any of its tropical characteristics and dissipate in strength before it hit the Andrea Gail, the fishing boat featured in the movie, The Perfect Storm.
