Deadly Disasters: Blizzards | World's Most Dangerous Natural Disasters | Free Documentary

This episode of Deadly Disasters will focus on Blizzards and extreme cold weather events from all over the world, including a pair of historic blizzards that hit the mid-Atlantic coast of America in 2010, and a storm that struck Central Europe in 2017. I was in Central Europe 2017 but I don’t recall a blizzard. I’m guessing it was the part I wasn’t at at that time. Yikes. Was anyone there? Please do share if you were!

I was 9 years old when we were hit with the blizzard of 78 in Massachusetts, USA . 4 feet of snow ❄️ on top of another foot from a previous storm. I was glad that at the time it hit me and my family were at a ski resort where there was a generator and indoor pool. Very grateful we were safe but I will never forget it. Over a 100 people died from it where I lived.

I live in Buffalo it has to be mentioned unless this is old. Still 77 gave us a crazy blizzard, October surprise was crazy, and we had the deadliest blizzard in our history last year where almost 50 people died.

I’ve lived through a blizzard. We got a foot of snow per hour for three hours. There was lots lightning and thunder, through the dense fog it just looked like small explosions. Waking up the next day my car was completely covered by snow drift. It was insane!

I live in Canada, and this happens often in our country somewhere during winter. We're used to it in Canada but I'm very aware of just how damaging a blizzard can be. I think a good barometer would be that if Southern Canada gets snow, more often than not, Northern America will get snow as well. If you want to see a huge blizzard, look up the Montreal snowstorm of '71 and '88 lol.

We had a really bad blizzard here in Newfoundland in January of 2020 that we called Snowmageddon, we got hit with 30 inches in a single day with 130 kph + (81 mph +) winds blowing it all around, the city of St. John's had to go into a state of emergency for 8 days and the Canadian military had to come in and help clean it up, to say it was wild is an understatement.

Canada sitting up here like, yeah I deal with this 6 months of the year, every year.

Thanks to all be hind the making of these videos...thay are really great👍👍👍

I'm glad I don't have to drive in them anymore, I'm still traumatized after getting snowed in in one in my rig for a week, they had all of the roads and hwys closed my rig was warm and cozy I still remember the sound of that hard blowing wind and deep snow deep enough to bury cars.

I’m a Canadian watching this with a touch of bemusement, thinking I would still be going in to work. But then I think of people in the Florida keys having hurricane parties, and tornado spotting on the front porches in Oklahoma City, and remember that it’s all relative. Dang scary.

I love this documentary. That's why I wrote a essay on it Title: The Fury of Blizzards: Unleashing Nature's Wrath Introduction: Blizzards, characterized by strong winds and heavy snowfall, are powerful winter storms that can have profound effects on both the environment and human society. These intense weather events, often accompanied by low visibility and sub-zero temperatures, bring about a range of consequences, from disruptions in daily life to serious challenges for emergency responders. Body: Definition and Formation of Blizzards: Define what constitutes a blizzard (low visibility, sustained winds or frequent gusts, and considerable snowfall). Explain the meteorological conditions that lead to the formation of blizzards, typically involving the collision of cold, dry air with warm, moist air. Impact on the Environment: Detail how blizzards can transform the landscape, covering it with a thick blanket of snow. Explore the ecological effects, such as changes in animal behavior, plant life, and the overall ecosystem dynamics during and after a blizzard. Human Impacts: Discuss the immediate and long-term effects on human activities, including transportation, infrastructure, and daily life. Address the potential dangers of blizzards, such as hypothermia, frostbite, and the challenges of snow removal. Economic Consequences: Analyze the economic impact of blizzards on various sectors, such as agriculture, tourism, and commerce. Explore how the costs of storm preparation, damage repair, and lost productivity can add up, affecting local and regional economies. Technological Advances and Preparedness: Highlight technological advancements in predicting and monitoring blizzards, such as improved meteorological models and satellite technology. Discuss the importance of early warning systems, emergency preparedness, and community resilience in minimizing the impact of blizzards. Conclusion: Blizzards, as awe-inspiring natural phenomena, have far-reaching effects on both the environment and human societies. While they can disrupt normal life and pose significant challenges, advancements in technology and increased awareness allow us to better predict, prepare for, and respond to these powerful winter storms. Understanding the intricacies of blizzards not only helps mitigate their impact but also fosters a greater appreciation for the forces of nature that shape our world. As we continue to advance our knowledge and preparedness, we can face the fury of blizzards with resilience and adaptability.

i remember 93. i was on the farm. we had to use the tractor generator to get electricity. we was lucky. so many wasnt. he also had wood fuel at the time. why i always feel safer when there is a wood stove in the home. i remember. it was COLD. Snow drifts i would fall through and had to dig my way out of because they was taller than me. it was wild.

My favorite channel on YouTube

The Waterfall was frozen solid that's pretty impressive 😮

I wish content creators could get the measurements right, especially when talking about AMERICA! We don't use the metric system here and now you've got me looking it up! SO aggravating!

Nice documentary the most terrifying disaster I faced was in death valley California (dust storm) and earth quake while driving a mountain road

This makes it sound like living in Canada is equivalent to fighting off the zombie apocalypse lol

I've lived on the border of New Hampshire and Massachusetts in Newburyport, Massachusetts. Blizzard of 78 dropped 6 feet of snow in 4 days. No school for 2 weeks. In 1996 we got 4 or 5 storms in 2 weeks and totalled 6 to 8 feet. In 2015 I had 9 feet of snow in my front yard. We could step out our second floor window on to the top of the snow. We weren't bothered by it. Lived here my whole life. Every winter we get at least 3 feet for the season but every years are different. We know up here. Shop before the storm and stay inside. Go out and shovel every 4 hours. It's basically a vacation in your house. Make sure you own a generator and stock up on fuel. Fill your oil tanks before the storm. The cleanup is the worst. Sometimes days to shovel or snowblowing.Were used to it here. Every winter sucks. My kids love it so they can sled and play in it but us adults work harder cleaning up than we do at our jobs. It's where we choose to live. Don't like it, move. Global warming is making the winters mild though. We haven't had a tough winter in 5 years. This year I think we've got maybe a foot since it started. We got about 2 months to go and it looks like we'll get outta this year easy.

ALot of ads might stop watching youtube!! 😢😢

Thanks!
