This two-hour special, based on the book by Erik Larson, tells the story of the deadly hurricane that hit Galveston, TX on September 8, 1900. In this program, Larson, along with weather experts, historians, and descendents of those lucky enough to have survived, guide us through the events of that horrific day. They detail the stories of the heartbreaking loss, selfless heroism, and the tragic folly of one man?s faith in science that resulted in the most lethal storm the U.S. has ever seen.
