| | Meteorologists say 'Perfect Storm' not quite perfect |
 | | In the movie "The Perfect Storm," which opens this Friday, George Clooney, and fellow cast members recreate the actual events surrounding the sinking of the sword-fishing vessel Andrea Gail on October 28, 1991. |
 | | A freelance journalist and author, Junger coined the phrase "the perfect storm" after a conversation with Bob Case, the 30-year veteran meteorologist who was deputy meteorologist-in-charge of the National Weather Service's Boston, Mass., forecast office at the time of the storm. |
 | | However, he adds that a "perfect" situation does not mean it is unique or even exceptionally rare. |
