This documentary follows meteorologists as they face the danger of "going into the field" -- chasing down massive F5 tornadoes in order to study them. Scientists who are experts in this specific field illustrate the forces that create such destructive forces of nature and explore the elements that remain unknown. ~ Cammila Albertson, All Movie Guide
Nova flies right into the eye of the storm for the adrenaline-inducing Nova: Hurricane! Serving as heroes are meteorologists like Hugh Willoughby, who regularly risk life and limb to gain information on these deadly storms. Hurricane Gilbert becomes the soundstage for a real-life action adventure when scientists gather data. As a result of their tenacious exploration, a hurricane's destructive force is better understood. Nova documents the after effects of nature's fury with testimonials of the victims from 1969's Camille.
