The Great Storm of '87 is an intriguing documentary that dives into the chaos of that fateful October when a powerful extratropical cyclone hit the UK. The film captures not just the devastation but also the eeriness of the storm's sudden impact, especially after being so casually dismissed by Michael Fish. The pacing is steady, allowing viewers to absorb the unfolding tragedy while weaving in firsthand accounts and archival footage, which adds a haunting quality. You really feel the fear and confusion as communities were caught off guard. The atmosphere is heavy, and the personal stories included give it a deeper resonance. It's fascinating how it explores the intersection of nature and human error without over-dramatizing the events.
