Meet Hurricane Irma
Two days living in the path of Hurricane Irma, one of the strongest Atlantic hurricanes on record, during September 2017. We explain the power unleashed by these monster storms, the incredibly active 2017 hurricane season, the 1900 Galveston Hurricane which claimed thousands of lives, the technology involved in predicting hurricanes, interpreting National Hurricane Center charts, how Florida buildings have become much stronger, the physics of how wind destroys home – and how to protect them.
