Title: 20th Anniversary of the Superstorm/Blizzard of 1993
Post by: Lightning on March 12, 2013, 06:24:13 PM

Today's date, as well as tomorrow's, marks the 20-year anniversary of the Superstorm of 1993, (A.K.A. "Storm of the Century") which spawned severe weather and tornadoes in Florida, strong winds caused a deadly storm surge in the big bend area of NW Florida, and you know the rest - heavy snowfall and blizzard conditions in the south and up the east coast. Birmingham, Atlanta, Chattanooga, and everywhere in between were paralyzed by the storm and it continued up the east coast and into the northeast and new england. Please share your own thoughts and memories about this storm.

Here is an overview of the event from The Weather Channel:

I had three feet of snow from that blizzard and was off school for eight straight days as a result.
