But Thursday's surge was far above the normal increase. When President Trump's infamous Access Hollywoodtape was released in October 2016, for instance, there was 33% increase in calls.
Millions of people tuned in to hear Ford's testimony, and her story clearly struck a chord with people who have had their own experiences with sexual assault.
