Nova: Hurricane!

Watch how these highly-trained scientists routinely - and carefully - fly into the world's most destructive storms to discover what makes them tick and to measure their intensity and probably path. Then hear first-hand accounts of Hurricane Camille, the most devastating storm ever to strike the United States. As Bob Sheets, director of the National Hurricane Center says, "Even if we could issue the perfect forecast, it does no good unless you motivate people to take the right action."
