In the first episode of the series Chris takes on the tornado – braving giant fist-sized hail, high speed winds and skin-piercing rain as he risks his life to get up close to a twister as it hits the ground.

Chris’s film provides a view of tornados from very different perspectives: capturing the excitement and wonder of the awestruck storm chasers and weather tourists who are drawn to their power, drama and beauty, which contrasts sharply with the fearfulness of the people living in the path of twisters that continually threaten to destroy their communities and even claim their lives.
