Night of the Hurricane is a special three-part TV event. It brought together characters from three popular animated shows. These shows were Family Guy, American Dad, and The Cleveland Show. All three series were created by Seth MacFarlane. This special event aired on the Fox network. It was part of their "Animation Domination" block.
The "Night of the Hurricane" was a "crossover" event. This means that characters from different TV shows appeared in each other's stories. In this case, a big hurricane hit the towns where each show takes place. This linked the stories of the different characters.
This special was first planned to be shown on May 1, 2011. However, a series of powerful tornadoes hit the Southern United States around that time. Many people were affected by these storms. Because of this, Fox decided to wait to broadcast the special. They wanted to be respectful of the real-life events. The "Night of the Hurricane" was then shown later in the year, on October 2, 2011.
