Default Worst ocean storm ......

My vote goes for the "Perfect Storm ".....about 15 years ago.
The one that took out the Andrea Gail.

I've never seen the ocean so riled up. Hurricane Grace was turning up the atlantic while a low pressure system and a cold front were colliding in the north atlantic.

The entire ocean from Florida to Nova Scotia was rough - as if the entire ocean was being shaken up.

When the hurricane fed into that north atlantic system - it was like " jet fuel " tying right into the low pressure bomb.

I read that buoy's recorded maximum waves to 125' of Mass.
The north atlantic was heaving - conditions as bad as nearly possible.
People died out there -rescue people, fishermen....
