The CPTV Original, WHEN DISASTER STRUCK CONNECTICUT, provides an in-depth look at the four major natural disasters that befell Connecticut between 1888 and 1955. These include the monumental King Blizzard (which delivered 20 to 50 inches of snow and drifts of up to 20 feet); two floods of near-Biblical proportions; and the most destructive hurricane in the state's history. Archival sources and eyewitness accounts paint a vivid picture of how Connecticut residents coped with-and overcame-these merciless forces of nature.

That was one of the best short documentaries I have seen in a while.

My great grandfather used to talk about this storm every time it snowed in Greenwich where we lived.

What incredible history about my home state. Although I have already known on account of my own curiosity.

My family were first proprietors of Norwich, in 1630. They were farmers all the way from Norwich in 1630, to Washington in the mid 1920s... I've always thought my ancestors were irremarkable... Now I'm thinking they must've been tough. Cause I've found very few early deaths in my lineage.
