WJXT, Graham media’s independent station in Jacksonville, Fla., is kicking off the start of hurricane season, today, June 1, with a documentary about Hurricane Matthew.
A Disaster Named Matthew, airs tonight at 7.
When Hurricane Matthew swiped the coast of Northeast Florida with wind speeds to 100 miles an hour in the fall of 2016, the storm wielded a fury that destroyed homes, uprooted families, and caused billions of dollars’ worth of damage, and it wasn’t even a direct hit.
A Disaster Named Matthew gives a first-hand account of the anxious moments as city leaders weighed whether to evacuate thousands of people and how a simple, yet emotional message delivered by a trusted newsman, made a big impact possibly saving lives.
A Disaster Named Matthew features never before seen video of landfall from those who rode out the storm.
“A Disaster Named Matthew reveals the fascinating backstories of those intense days leading up to the storm and the need to prepare for this hurricane season because the big one is still out there,” said Bob Ellis, WJXT’s general manager.
