The Fierce Earth team encounter the most feared event in weather; the hurricane. Florida based Stormchaser Mike takes us on a wild ride into the eye of the storm; we meet three childhood friends, who had their lives turned upside down when Hurricane Ike struck their homes in Texas; Leo is challenged to take hurricane force winds head on and Zoe learns how we're designing buildings to cope with their awesome force.
