Join professional storm chaser and photographer Hank Schyma on a whirlwind journey through the skies While destructive tornadoes most often make the headlines, all this excessive energy in the atmosphere can result in a spectacle of other wonders that leave us in awe.

Bringing together the science of storms with Hank’s greatest storm chasing moments, STORMtakes you on a visually captivating journey of the planet’s wildest weather systems.
As well as gaining an understanding of how lightning strikes work and what a “supercell” is, you'll also go behind-the-scenes of Hank’s discovery of the “green ghost” and explore both the largest and fastest tornadoes ever recorded – all told with Hank’s signature down-to-earth (and humorous) commentary.
