Delaware Roots film series '62 Storm

14 Mar 2008

THE REHOBOTH BEACH FILM SOCIETY AND THE MILTON HISTORICAL SOCIETY CO-PRESENT THE ’62 STORM. The Milton Historical Society and Rehoboth Beach Film Society continue the Delaware Roots film series with a screening of The ’62 Storm, at the Milton Theater at 7:00 PM, on Friday, March 14, 2008. Residents living along the Atlantic coast in March, 1962, will never forget the “Ash Wednesday” storm. This powerful winter nor’easter pounded Delaware’s shoreline for 3 days and 5 successive high tides, destroying homes and businesses, flooding communities, and taking lives. Using archival photos, home movies, and interviews with those who survived, The ’62 Storm re-lives Delaware’s greatest 20th century disaster and the weather events that spawned it and reflects on the possibility of a similar storm occurring along the Delaware coast today. There will be a discussion following the screening led by a group of local eyewitnesses to the 1962 storm. [2007, Runtime: 56 minutes, Not rated] Tickets for this event are $3 and are available by calling the Rehoboth Beach Film Society at 302-645-9095, ext. 1. SEATING IS LIMITED AND ADVANCE TICKET PURCHASES ARE RECOMMENDED. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. The Milton Theater is located at 110 Union Street, Milton Delaware.
