	The Perfect Storm, A storm chasers dream
		The Perfect Storm for tornado and storm chasers would be one where it is a slow moving storm, with many long lived tornadoes in a low precipitation enviroment away from any populated area but great roads, oh and no hail.
		Called The Perfect Storm because it was three storms combined into one — created an almost apocalyptic situation in the Atlantic ocean, where boats encountered waves of 100 feet (30 meters).
		But when we talk about the perfect storm with tornado and storm chasing, we are talking about an event that would be easy to film up close, that drops many tornadoes over several hours.

	DVD Review - The Perfect Storm (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The sheer force and scope of the storm quickly lets you forget that you are watching special effects and turns the film into a tribute to these and all other fishermen, who put their lives in the hands of Mother Nature every time they go out to sea.
		Warner Home Video brings us "The Perfect Storm" in the movie’s original 2.35:1 widescreen aspect ratio on this DVD in a transfer that is enhanced for 16x9 television sets.
		Although the track is not nearly as aggressive as I had expected, given the fierce nature of the film, the audio track nonetheless makes constant use of the discrete surround channels and uses the LFE channel to enhance the impact of the low end that is omnipresent in the track.

	The Perfect Storm: Cinephiles Movie Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The Perfect Storm, directed by Wolfgang Petersen (Das Boot, Air Force One) chronicles the dramatic events that resulted from a phenomenal storm formation in the North Atlantic region in the Fall of 1991.
		When Andrea Gail is at sea and it is clear that the "main event" will be her struggle with the ocean's temperament, The Perfect Storm's plot oscillates between escalating complications (mainly accidents or animosity among the fishermen) and the downslides of their respective little victories, as the complications are safely resolved.
		Still, by means of careful photography and spectacular special effects, The Perfect Storm is successful in its attempt to define the ocean as being truly magnificent --or rather, perfect-- when it is most dangerous.

	Financial Sense Perspectives on The Perfect Financial Storm? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		It is apparent to me that financial storms and perhaps "The Perfect Financial Storm" may be heading towards the U.S. economy.
		When I wrote The Perfect Financial Storm last July, I saw several storm fronts developing in the economy, the stock market, and the currency market that could, like the movie, lead to The Perfect Storm.
		The severity of a recession or bust is oftentimes determined by the boom that preceded it.

	The Perfect Mental Storm
		We all know that the perfect mental storm is capable of sucking the life-force out of even the strongest of individuals, pummeling the victim's brain to anti-matter, and reducing one to the level of the living dead, on the brink of total death, as close to actual death without being dead.
		So it is that the perfect mental storm cascades upon our inadequate psyches from all points of the compass, threatening us from whichever direction we turn with death by suicide, death by medical complications, death by noncompliance, and death by reckless behavior.
		When I am in a "Perfect Mental Storm" not only are my emotional out of control but, the CP cause me more trouble it become a circle of frustration of which disease will win the first round, on, and on like.

	Review: The Perfect Storm (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The storm, which struck with a suddenness that wrecked almost every weatherman's three-day forecast, was given many names in the popular media, including the Great Halloween Nor'easter and the Storm of the Century.
		The Perfect Storm is not the first motion picture to pit man against the sea, but this is not a common genre, mainly because of the difficulty of crafting believable action.
		The Perfect Storm may be too much of a downer to become a huge summer hit, although that remains to be seen.

	All-Reviews.com Movie/Video Review: The Perfect Storm
		Wolfgang Petersen's "The Perfect Storm," is a slam-bang, pulse-pounding action thriller that has the clear distinction of creating the most realistic and horrifying storm ever put to celluloid.
		This is appropriate, of course, since it is based upon the worst storm in recorded history that fell upon the New England border in October 1991, when three weather patterns (a cold front, a low-pressure system, and a hurricane) collided.
		The special effects supervisors at ILM have done a striking job bringing the storm to life, in all its horrific glory, and it is because of them that most warrants seeing it on the big screen.

	Coast Guard Perfect Storm Images
		The crew of the fishing vessel "Andrea Gail" was lost in the freak, violent tempest that menaced the East Coast in October 1991.
		The Tamaroa crewmen were aboard a small boat that was launched from the cutter to rescue the crew from the foundering Satori, but the boat was damaged during the attempt.
		The storm also initially prevented it from rescuing the crew, forcing it to return to the America to wait for better conditions.

	Filmtracks: The Perfect Storm (James Horner)
		It is with absolutely no doubt that the music for The Perfect Storm will certainly blow up a not-so-rogue wave of criticism from those film music fans who hear his previous works in everything new he presents.
		For a new collector of film music, The Perfect Storm will likely be exciting and inspiring (four stars and no less), but for the experienced Horner collectors, the score will provide ten minutes of new, noteworthy material and the rest might either bore you or seem as unpleasant as swallowing seawater.
		The thing that seperates The Perfect Storm from his other soundtracks are the themes and repetitive ideas he uses.

	'Perfect Storm'
		The storm by then wasn’t headed for the Dade-Broward border, it was wobbling north and south along a westward track so that by then no one was exactly sure where on the south Florida Coast it was going to hit.
		The reporters were where the storm was supposed to hit, the Dade-Broward border, but Andrew wobbled at the last minute and instead crashed ashore farther south, in the less densely populated suburbs and rural areas.
		The fractured ceramic edges were almost a perfect penetration-point shape, and the force of the wind had driven them deep into the soil.

	Meteorologists Say 'Perfect Storm' Not So Perfect
		While the storm was undeniably very powerful- and dangerous to any ship venturing offshore- all the meteorologists interviewed agreed that the storm was far from being "stronger than any in recorded history," as the web site states.
		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.
		The "three storms," he said, were in fact a large high-pressure system over Canada, a low-pressure system traveling along a slow-moving cold front, and the tropical moisture from Hurricane Grace, which was dissipating at the time.

	Hurricane Grace & The Perfect Storm (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Hurricane Grace was a relatively short-lived hurricane in 1991, notorious for its role in what became known as The Perfect Storm.
		Several different aircraft and aircrews flew this storm around the clock, until it was no longer a threat to Bermuda.

	Perfect Storm
		At a radio station, the meteorologist sees a unique set of storm fronts, which may converge, which he calls "the perfect storm." That is the coming together of immense storms that most weathermen will never see in their lifetime of work.
		He does a fine job in The Perfect Storm with numerous scenes of the Andrea Gail and in particular the helicopter rescue of the luxury sail boat.
		What makes The Perfect Storm special is the spiritual connection you make with these men as they come to terms with the consequences of prior decisions in their lives when they know that they will die at sea.

		Sebastian Junger's book The Perfect Storm, which was made into a movie, describes nicely some of the effects of the ''Halloween Storm'' of late October and early November 1991.
		The contrast was great enough for the extratropical storm to quickly intensify from 988 to 972 millibars (29.18 to 28.70 inches of mercury) in 24 hours.
		But it wasn't until this intense extratropical storm moved west toward the USA and then south and east to a point midway between Bermuda and New Jersey that it grew into a hybrid storm.

		Meteorologists called the storm that hit North America's eastern seaboard in October 1991 a "perfect storm" because of the rare combination of factors that created it.
		In The Perfect Storm, author Sebastian Junger conjures for the reader the meteorological conditions that created the "storm of the century" and the impact the storm had on many of the people caught in it.
		The book is much like the perfect storm featured in the text: three forces exerted at the oppertune moment create one of the worst disasters in history.

		By 0600 UTC on November 1, the storm was in the process of making a counter-clockwise loop and central convection had increased to the point where a tropical cyclone (of tropical storm intensity) could be identified at the center (See Figure 2).
		A cold front associated with the Halloween Storm overtook Grace at 1800 UTC on the 29th and the low pressure center absorbed the remnants of the hurricane.
		Images of the Halloween Storm prior to its conversion to a hurricane can be found in the Perfect Storm 1991 presentation of the Extratropical Cyclone Gallery of the Satellite's Eye Art Gallery.

	The Perfect Storm movie review
		During this storm, the Atlantic off the coast of the northeastern U.S. and around the Great Banks featured waves higher than a 10 story building, 140+ mph winds and generally some of the nastiest conditions imaginable to a seaman.
		The movie spends the entire time leading up to the storm trying to make us care about these morons who are stupid enough to be out there.
		The storms in movies like Twister are nothing compared to the effects here with the winds and high seas.

		the Perfect Storm, starring George Clooney and Mark Wahlberg, is the semi-true story of a group of Glouster fishermen who, with their sword-boat the Andrea Gail, were lost at sea in the Storm of the Century.
		The storm itself, when it is revealed, is daunting indeed although on video even this would be lost.
		My feeling when leaving "The Perfect Storm" was a sense of disappointment and shock at the promotions given to this movie.

	The Perfect Storm - Cranky Critic® Movie Reviews
		That's the case with The Perfect Storm, detailing a meteorological monster of a 1991 storm in the North Atlantic, which wreaked havoc on shipping and boats at sea (the emphasis here) and flooded the New York City subways hundreds of miles away.
		If the hour that comes before the storm had given strong reasons to care about even one of the crew, The Perfect Storm would have been a much more effective film.
		There is so much that is wrong about The Perfect Storm that explaining it all to you would involve revealing all of the story.

		Human resource professionals, executives, and managers alike wrongly believe they are the isolated targets of some insidious plot to abscond with their workers or else are just magnets for under-skilled workers with poor work ethics.
