Monsters of the Deep

The extraordinary relationship between the sea and the sky is at its most frightening when it appears in the form of a hurricane; while scientists and lucky survivors recall Hurricane Andrew, which hit Florida in 1992 and resulted in one of the USA’s worst natural disasters, the programme also looks at attempts to tame hurricanes, and follows hurricane chaser Richard Horodner. Also featured is the mysterious ocean phenomenon called El Nino, and the Great Storm which hit the UK in 1987.
