Hurricane Bob Surged in Quiet Season
Hurricane Bob struck New England in August 1991, unexpectedly becoming the only landfalling hurricane of that season despite prevailing El Niño conditions, which typically suppress Atlantic storm activity. The Category 3 hurricane caused significant damage, with wind gusts over 125 mph, storm surges up to 15 feet, and three landfalls in the region, resulting in 18 deaths and over a billion dollars in damages. Forecasters had early signals of the storm’s development, and strong atmospheric conditions allowed it to intensify rapidly before making its impact on the region, highlighting the importance of preparedness for unexpected storms.
