Weather Clip of The Week: Hurricane Gilbert
From 1988, this clip shows local Philadelphia television coverage of Hurricane Gilbert as it pounded through the Caribbean Sea. Gilbert was the strongest hurricane on record for seventeen years, only recently surpassed by Hurricane Wilma. The clip's coverage is from WCAU (Channel 10), with Herb Clarke reading the advisory as it was coming in, and WPVI (Channel 6) and Dave Roberts briefly talking about the storm.
The coverage of the storm was from its time after impacting Jamaica and the Cayman Islands, both of which experienced significant impact.
