If you want to know what it's like to experience a hurricane when you have no idea it is coming, watch PBS' American Experence: The Hurricane of '38. /1 www.pbs.org/wgbh/america...
Before radar had been invented a devastating hurricane hit America, surprising residents of the East Coast and killing more than 600 people.
I stumbled into the middle of this while channel-surfing. Lovely little vignettes of people going about their day, interspersed with weather bulletins. After the third weather bulletin, I realized what was happening. And knew that the people in the film didn't know what was happening. /2
I've never seen this documentary but I grew up in Westerly, RI and stories of the Hurricane of '38 were all around when I was growing up. The idea that Project 2025 would jeopardize NOAA and the National Weather Service makes me so angry.
