About this Show
Megastorm
Dramatic extreme weather events like Hurricane Helene in 2024, Tennessee’s tornado outbreak in December 2023 and the vicious 2019 Black Summer of Australian wildfires are explored from the inside out. Each episode tells the story of an event through firsthand survivor and witness accounts along with adrenaline-fuelled footage captured on the ground. How did three enormous storm supercells in the Deep South create a tornado day from hell? What caused the fires of Black Summer to create their own weather system? And how did the abnormally hot temperature of water in the Gulf create perfect conditions for one of the deadliest hurricanes in U.S. history? Never has it been more important to understand extreme weather, its impact on survivors, and the lessons we can learn for the future.
