Deadly Skies

This film is one of a four-part series that looks at natural disasters around the world. This episode focuses on the sky and some of the strange phenomena in it. Sometimes, out of the blue, come lightning bolts, without any storm clouds or other signs that a strike is forming. The viewer sees the disastrous consequences of one such strike on some gliders. The viewer then goes to Peekskill, NY, where a 27-pound meteor crashed into a surprised motorist's car. There is also footage of the 1999 Sydney hailstorm, which destroyed thousands of houses. Interviews with scientists provide insight into the events, as well as revealing plans to harness the forces of nature for human welfare. ~ Rose of Sharon Winter, Rovi

Volcanic Killers

Volcanoes present one of the most visibly fightening of natural foes. The earth explodes with red-hot molten rock, destroying villages and poisoning the landscape. Even more frightening are the volcanoes we can't see, that erupt amongst seeming peace only to wreak havoc. This video includes footage of unusual and disastrous volcanoes in West Africa, Phillipines and New Zealand, as well as Mt. Ranier in the north western United States.

Extremes

This program examines two of the most dangerous environments on earth, avalanche territory in the mountains and Death Valley, the hottest place on earth.

Storms of the Century

Stacy Keach narrates this survey of some of the most destructive filmed footage of extreme weather this century. Learn the difference between a hurricane, generally considered to be the worst blow mother nature can deal out, and its bigger, badder brother: the extra-tropical cyclone. Footage includes a massive ship adrift and battered off Nova Scotia, the Great Storm of '53, and many others.
