Hurricanes From Above
Hurricanes are the deadliest storms on Earth and climate change is making them even more intense.
This doc unpacks the 2024 Atlantic Hurricane Season, one of the worst on record. From Hurricane Beryl, a category 5 storm with 165 mph winds to Hurricane Helene - one of the deadliest since Katrina of 2005 - and Hurricane Milton, the most powerful Category 5 hurricane reaching 180 mph. We reveal how hurricane meteorologists are trying to stay one step ahead with cutting edge weather satellites that patrol the planet, warning of when and where a hurricane will hit land. And we join a team of Hurricane Hunters as they fly into the eye of these fierce storms on rugged aircraft crammed with several tons of scientific kit. We also learn from a scientist at NASA who experimented with hurricane flights which were unmanned, using repurposed military drones called Global Hawks to fly into the world's most deadly storms.
