Category 6: Day of Destruction

In 2004, CBS broadcast a four-hour disaster movie event that would prove to be one of the highest-rated films for the channel in years, despite receiving largely negative reviews from critics. The miniseries, titled "Category 6: Day of Destruction," tells the story of three unusual storm systems converging on Chicago and creating a massive hurricane, while also exploring the personal struggles of those caught in the midst of the disaster. As the city's power grid falters, a journalist and power officials must navigate treacherous politics and corporate greed to uncover the truth behind the blackout, all while facing catastrophic weather events that threaten to destroy everything they hold dear.
