This National Geographic film chronicles one of this
century's most catastrophic storms in March 1993 that wreaked havoc along its 1,200-mile
journey of destruction from Florida's Gulf Coast to Canada - knocking out power in more
than three million homes and taking some 270 lives. The late weather forecast predicted
deadly tornadoes, thunderstorms and a record-breaking blizzard that would hit the eastern
United States in one violent storm. But for some already asleep for the night, these
urgent emergency warnings would go unheard. This outstanding documentary also includes the
dramatic rescue of students trapped by blinding snow on a wilderness expedition in the
Great Smoky Mountains, and one family's terrifying ordeal as a 12-foot-high storm surge
ravaged their weekend reunion in Florida. |
