The 1976 Pacific Northwest Cyclone, also known as Storm 93C, was an unique weather system that formed in 1976. Forming on November 28 from an Extratropical cyclone in the north Pacific mid-latitudes, it moved over waters warmer than normal. The system acquired some features more typical of subtropical. However, as it neared the western coastline of North America, the system fell apart, dissipating soon after landfall, on December 5. Moisture from the storm's remnants caused substantial rainfall and servere flooding in Pacific Northwest. The flooding killed 33 people. The exact status and nature of this weather event is unknown, with meteorologists and weather agencies having differing opinions
