Storm Chasers 5

Image 1 / 10

Extreme meteorologist Reed Timmer, IMAX filmmaker Sean Casey and veteran chaser Tim Samaras are back tracking the monster tornados that made headlines in the new series of Storm Chasers. The teams witnessed first-hand the infamous tornado outbreak of April 27, 2011 when nearly 200 tornados were recorded and over 300 lives lost in just a single day. Their exclusive, never-before-seen footage combined with meteorological expertise and years of chasing experience piece together a day unprecedented in history. In addition, the new series features new chase vehicles including the debut of Timmer's "Dominator 2" and cutting edge research tools such as sophisticated radar equipment and air cannons. Sean Casey has now set his sights on another storm chasing first: filming tornados in 3D. Twistex's newly revamped chase vehicle has all the bells and whistles with new doppler radar and probes but will its leader Tim Samaras alienate the team with his new aggressive style? The stakes and challenges are clearly high for all three teams. Now the race is on to learn more about these monsters of Mother Nature, improve early warning systems and save lives.
