Description Video Trailer Funding Partners   Find out why meteorologists say the state is overdue for another tempest of that scale in Hurricane: Direct Hit.   It's been nearly 70 years since Connecticut was struck by a major hurricane--the legendary Hurricane of '38. Find out why meteorologists say the state is overdue for another tempest of that scale in Hurricane: Direct Hit. Hosted by meteorologist Art Horn, Hurricane: Direct Hit is a one-hour documentary that tells the history of how hurricanes have affected Connecticut in the past. The documentary also examines the steps that are being taken to prepare for these potentially devastating acts of nature in the future. With the warming of the North Atlantic waters over the last 10 years, meteorologists say it is highly probable that Connecticut will be struck by an increasing number of hurricanes over the next several years. Hurricane: Direct Hit projects how a major hurricane could affect Connecticut physically and economically--and looks at the ways agencies throughout the state are preparing for what some forecasters see as an inevitable act of nature. While nature's capacity to create hurricanes and storm surges is a constant, meteorologists' tracking ability has improved dramatically. The National Hurricane Center in Florida now provides five-day forecasts, allowing states precious extra time to prepare for a major hurricane. Format: DVD, Closed Captioned, Color, NTSC Running Time: 56 minutes Credits: Producer/Writer/Director: Roynn Lisa Simmons Associate Producer: Rick Sheiber Executive Producer: Jay Whitsett © 2006 Connecticut Public Television
