Free screening of ‘62 storm movie

To commemorate the 49th anniversary of the storm, and to increase knowledge and understanding of coastal hazards in Delaware, the Delaware Sea Grant College program will host screenings of “The ’62 Storm—Delaware’s Shared Response,” written, edited and produced by local filmmaker Michael Oates.

The screening will take place in Cannon Laboratory Room 104 at the University of Delaware’s Hugh R. Sharp Campus in Lewes. The event is free, but reservations are required.

The 55-minute film was funded by Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control, Delaware Humanities Forum, and 302 Stories Inc. The video features firsthand accounts from people who lived through the damaging three-day northeaster.

While the event is free, seating is limited and reservations are required. For reservations contact Michelle Scorziello at mkscorzi@udel.edu or 302-645-4346. Light refreshments will be served.
