BBC Synopsis: “Sandy: The Anatomy of a Superstorm” tells an all-encompassing story of the massive impact Hurricane Sandy had upon tens of millions across multiple states, including its nighttime landfall and the revelation of mass destruction upon sunrise. This one-hour special reveals the science of how this hurricane began in the Caribbean and developed into a devastating super storm, slamming the eastern United States as a combination hurricane/nor’easter/winter storm.
A dramatic minute-by-minute account of the superstorm that brought New York State to its knees. Using satellite imagery, CGI mapping and the powerful personal testimony of those who lived through it, this is a forensic analysis of the meteorological, engineering and human devastation wreaked by Sandy.
The program spotlights historical records broken by the storm and explores the possibility of more super storms in our future. Produced by Peacock Productions, “Sandy: The Anatomy of a Superstorm” features the scientific insights and expertise of The Weather Channel meteorologists including Jim Cantore, Stephanie Abrams, Bryan Norcross and Stu Ostro as they relay their first-hand experience in analyzing, forecasting and warning of the unprecedented storm.
