The media has been saying it was a "perfect storm" that Ken sailed
into. I wonder if that's just so the public will associate it with a
movie, to make the story meaningful? Or was there a "perfect storm".

The "perfect storm" in the book by that title was explained in the
story in meterological terms, when one weather system meets another at
a certain place, etc... IOW, the term "perfect" meant something more
than "really big".

So I'm wondering if there's a set of circumstances that were at play in
Ken's case, that the cape has it's own type of "perfect storm". And
what it is.

Does anyone know if there are weather satellite pictures of the area at
the time available? It would be interesting to see.
