In the real-life event and book "The Perfect Storm" by Sebastian Junger, all six crew members of the fishing vessel Andrea Gail are believed to have perished in the storm. The fate of the crew is based on conjecture, as their bodies were never found. The 2000 film adaptation portrays the crew members facing their demise in the storm.
Hurricane Sandy behaved in a similar manner to the Perfect Storm of 1991 in how it combined with an extratropical storm system and gained strength. Although Sandy was only a Category 1 hurricane when it made landfall on Atlantic City, NJ on Monday, October 29, 2012, other factors combined to make it a "perfect storm." Hurricane Sandy came from a merging of several things; a storm beginning in the warmed waters of the ocean, a funneling of cold air from the Arctic that pushed it onto the coast, and a high tide that coincided with the storm swell. Other factors that made Sandy a unique storm: its extremely low pressure (946 millibars on landfall), it's size (almost 1,000 miles wide), and it's path (making a sharp left turn into the Jersey shore, powered by high pressure from a system in Canada).
Hurricane Sandy is an usually large and intense storm that has combined traits of a tropical and an extratropical cyclone in a manner similar to the Perfect Storm of 1991.
The "Perfect Storm" refers to the 1991 Halloween Nor'easter, a severe storm that resulted from the convergence of different weather systems, not a specific hurricane. This event was popularized by Sebastian Junger's book "The Perfect Storm" which focused on the sinking of the fishing boat Andrea Gail during the storm.
Hurricane Sandy was an unusually large and powerful storm and its great destructive potential was recognized days before its final landfall. Sandy merged with a non-tropical storm system in a manner similar to the Perfect Storm of 1991 and it technically was no longer a hurricane when it made landfall in New Jersey.
Hurricane Andrew was the first storm of the 1992 Atlantic hurricane season. The previous Atlantic hurricane was at the end of the 1991 season. Due to the unusual circumstances of its formation, this storm was never given a name. It is most widley known as the 1991 Perfect Storm. Had it been named, it would have been Hurricane Henri.
