As you can see from the picture it raged all along the east coast of the U.S. and Canada .The Storm of the Century, also known as the’93 Superstorm, No-Name Hurricane, theWhite Hurricane, or the Great Blizzard of 1993, was a large cyclone storm that hit North America from March 12-March 15, 1993, on the East Coast of North America.
