It began as an upper level disturbance over California and Arizona. Rapidly, it moved over the country, and on the 13, it moved over the Gulf Stream. After moving off the coast, it bombed out. The storm's center moved to a position off of New Jersey. The pressure was at 969 millibars, 16 millibars lower than that of the Perfect Storm. The winds associated with this noreaster, were intense, with 75 mph gusts.
The effects on Nantucket were just as bad as those felt on the mainland. Trees, some close to one hundred years old, were felled by the winds. The Jared Coffin House, had a tree fall onto it. The wind was measured at 60 MPH, with some higher gusts.
