| Summary |
In this three-part science adventure, Richard Hammond (Top Gear) travels the globe to discover the unexplained and the unexpected, the unbelievable and the just plain unlikely of the wild weather which batters our earth.Richard Hammond investigates how wind actually starts. He visits one of the windiest places on the planet, walks into the centre of a man-made tornado and creates a 10-metre high whirlwind - made of fire!Richard is part of a world first when he joins up with an American meteorologist and they try to do what no one has ever done before, fire a probe into a tornado to measure its speed where it is at its fastest - right next to the ground.Richard also visits one of the few places on the planet capable of duplicating a real-life tornado in Ontario in Canada, and braves winds and temperatures of -50 degrees Fahrenheit.
