A "perfect storm" is an expression that describes an event where a rare combination of circumstances will aggravate a situation drastically. The term is also used to describe a hypothetical hurricane that happens to hit at a region's most vulnerable area, resulting in the worst possible damage by a hurricane of its magnitude. The phrase "perfect storm" occurred as early as the 1840s when William Makepeace Thackeray used it in his novel, Vanity Fair. The quote can be found in chapter 8. "I have heard a brother of the story-telling trade, at Naples, preaching to a pack of good-for-nothing honest lazy fellows by the sea-shore, work himself up into such a rage and passion with some of the villains whose wicked deeds he was describing and inventing, that the audience could not resist it; and they and the poet together would burst out into a roar of oaths and execrations against the fictitious monster of the tale, so that the hat went round, and the bajocchi tumbled into it, in the midst of a perfect storm of sympathy."
