Host Philippe Cousteau ventures to Mt. Washington in New Hampshire, a place known as the “Home of the World’s Worst Weather.” We visit the “Wall of Wind” in Florida where scientists simulate hurricane force winds. In Colorado, we follow a scientific research team pursuing a tornado. We travel to Texas Tech, where they explore the destruction of debris thrown by tornadoes.
