Storm of the Century

Most people who were in the eastern U.S. from March 13-15, 1993 can tell stories about the "storm of the century." An enormous storm system caused flooding and tornadoes in Florida, blizzard conditions in Atlanta, and dumped snow for a thousand miles up the Eastern seaboard. Two hundred seventy people were killed, more than triple the total for both Hurricanes Andrew and Hugo. With stunning video clips gathered from news stations from around the country, well-done graphics, and an interesting human-interest angle on the topic, this tape continues National Geographic's tradition of producing high-quality documentaries. Highly recommended for public libraries. Aud: P. (R. Reagan)
