On the afternoon of the 4th of April 1977, Georgia housewife Sadie Burkhalter Hurst looked out her front door to see a frantic stranger running toward her, his clothes ablaze, and behind him the mangled fuselage of a passenger plane that had just crashed in her yard. The plane, a Southern Airways DC-9, had been en route to Atlanta when it entered a massive thunderstorm cell that turned into a dangerous cocktail of rain, hail and lightning. 'Southern Storm' offers a fascinating insider's look at this dramatic disaster.
