* on Haida Gwaii, in November & December of 1985, and again in February 
of 1989, we experienced the opposite kind of event, when the Subarctic 
Convergence slipped out into the Pacific during spring tides and killed 
millions of intertidal creatures with the cold. The first time there 
were a lot of Chitons, and other slow-growing species (we ate a lot of 
Octopus), but the second time the semi-sessile forms seem not to have 
recovered, and most of the dead were Arthropods (including very 
delicious Cancer productus Crabs).
