PLOT

This doc unpacks the 2024 Atlantic Hurricane Season, one of the worst on record. From Hurricane Beryl, a category 5 storm with 165 mph winds to Hurricane Helene - one of the deadliest since Katrina of 2005 - and Hurricane Milton, the most powerful Category 5 hurricane reaching 180 mph. We reveal how hurricane meteorologists are trying to stay one step ahead with cutting edge weather satellites that patrol the planet, warning of when and where a hurricane will hit land. And we join a team of Hurricane Hunters as they fly into the eye of these fierce storms on rugged aircraft crammed with several tons of scientific kit. We also learn from a scientist at NASA who experimented with hurricane flights which were unmanned, using repurposed military drones called Global Hawks to fly into the world's most deadly storms.
