From NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Paul Homewood<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Terms like Superstorm and Storm of the Century are often bandied about, but what caused the \u201cNo Name Storm\u201d which hit the US in March 1993 definitely warranted these epithets.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It spawned a derecho and tornadoes in Florida, where the storm surge wiped out coastal communities. The storm then headed north bringing record snowfall, floods and hurricane force winds in its wake as far as Canada. The whole of the eastern third of the US was affected, with 318 left dead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even after the storm had passed, its effects lingered for weeks. So much snow had fallen, that when it melted  it resulted in river floods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This film was put together by the Weather Channel a year after the storm, hence the poor video quality, but it is the best I have found. It lasts half an hour, but it is really fascinating to watch, since the storm was still fresh in people\u2019s minds:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
