Summary:
"In just one devastating month, Houston, Florida, and the Caribbean were changed forever. In summer 2017, three monster hurricanes swept in from the Atlantic one after another, shattering storm records and killing hundreds of people. First, Harvey brought catastrophic rain and flooding to Houston, causing $125 billion in
damage
. Less than two weeks later, Irma lashed the Caribbean with 185 mile per hour winds
--
and left the island of Barbuda uninhabitable. Hot on Irma’s heels, Maria intensified from a Category 1 to a Category 5
hurricane
in just 15 hours, then ravaged
Puerto
Rico
and left millions of people without power. As the planet warms, are these superstorms the new normal? How well can we predict them? And with
hurricane
season just around the corner, does the U.S. need to prepare for the reality of climate refugees? NOVA takes you inside the 2017 superstorms and the cutting-edge research that will determine how well equipped we are to deal with hurricanes in the future."--Container.
