The Great Hurricane of 1780 took nine days to blast its wayacross the Caribbean, killing at least 20,000--the highestknown death toll of any single weather event in history. Whatmade this superstorm so deadly? To reconstruct its epic scaleand investigate what made it so devastating, NOVA joinshistorians and storm sleuths as they track down clues ineyewitness chronicles, old ruins, and computer simulations.Their evidence points to a truly terrifying, 300-mile-widestorm--with wind speeds probably exceeding 230 miles an hourand 25-feet storm surges that demolished everything in theirpath. But just how unusual was the Great Hurricane? Diving intosinkholes off Barbados and squirming into caves in theYucatan, NOVA's experts recover traces of tempests stretchingback over more than 1,000 years. The picture they paint isdisturbing: mega-hurricanes were not only more frequent in thepast but are likely to strike again in our near future, asclimate change warms the oceans and fuels more intensehurricanes. Were the deaths and damage inflicted by storms likeHurricane Sandy a prelude to far more devastating disasters?
