Isaac's Storm:
Tuesday, September 06 @ 2pm ET

Tune In:
Tuesday, September 6 @ 8am ET/PT


September 8, 1900. Galveston, Texas. A typically hot and humid day. Women tended to chores; men traveled downtown to work, including Isaac Cline, head of the National Weather Bureau's local office. Cline believed the island was safe from hurricane, but by afternoon, a Category-4 storm proved how wrong he was. In a 2-hour special based on Erik Larson's book Isaac's Storm, weather experts, historians, and survivors' descendents guide us through that horrific day that claimed over 6,000.

I've seen "Isaac's Storm." The book is more impressive than the TV show but they are both quite interesting.
