Hurricanes are among the most destructive type of natural disaster that can strike an area, with the biggest storms causing tens of billions of dollars' worth of damage and killing hundreds, if not thousands, of people. With technological advances making hurricane forecasts more accurate over the years, more people are able to survive the massive cyclones than in the past. "Hurricane 360" features accounts of hurricane survivors who describe how simple twists of fate and split-second decisions helped them to make it through the storms. Episodes tell of rescue missions during 2005's Hurricane Katrina and the impact of Superstorm Sandy as it hit low-lying, densely populated metropolitan areas in the northeastern U.S. in October 2012.
