As the effects of climate change and global warming figure more and more prominently in earth science, meteorology, and other disciplines, it becomes increasingly important to study hurricanes and other extreme weather formations. Of course, actually observing a lethal tropical storm is easier said than done. But when a series of devastating hurricanes hit Florida in 2005, an army of film crews stood in their way. In this film, the amazing footage they captured is compiled and analyzed by experts, who find startling information uncovered from inside the storms.
