When Disaster Struck - '36 Flood PT 1

The CPTV Original, WHEN DISASTER STRUCK CONNECTICUT, provides an in-depth look at the four major natural disasters that befell Connecticut between 1888 and 1955. These include the monumental King Blizzard (which delivered 20 to 50 inches of snow and drifts of up to 20 feet); two floods of near-Biblical proportions; and the most destructive hurricane in the state's history. Archival sources and eyewitness accounts paint a vivid picture of how Connecticut residents coped with-and overcame-these merciless forces of nature.
