They didn’t call this the “Storm of the Century” for nothing. Thankfully, technological advances in weather forecasting were made by the time this storm came around so the severity of it was not as bad as it could have been. “Causing 300 deaths and $6 to $10 billion in damages, the “Storm of the Century” lived up to the hype,” History.com reported. “Sophisticated computer models allowed the National Weather Service to issue a severe storm warning two days in advance. For the first time, governors could declare a state of emergency before a single snowflake fell. But that didn’t stop them from falling—and with a vengeance. The storm affected at least 26 U.S. states and much of eastern Canada, reaching as far south as Jacksonville, Florida.”
