Product Description

In this fascinating program, you will see spectacular footage of real live Twisters, or their more common name -- tornadoes. This amazing footage has been captured on video from across the U.S., and features incredible scenes from Emmy Award winning photographer, Jeff Piotrowski, a professional storm chaser. According to Tom Grazulis, author of "Significant Tornados" -- which has become the storm chaser's bible, Jeff holds two positions on the Top 20 Tornado Video Countdown, and has acknowledged that Jeff has been on 14 of the Top 20 tornado chases in recent history. You will also see footage from Project VORTEX, the group of scientist portrayed in the motion picture "Twister." You will experience the adrenaline pumping excitement of actual storm chases... watching killer Tornadoes from their very inception. You will also witness other examples of Mother Natures' most severe weather phenomena develop right before your very eyes. We will also visit with professional meteorologists at the National Weather Service to see first hand how they predict and track severe weather. And perhaps more importantly - you will be given tips on how to survive in case you are ever caught in a Twister's path!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great buy, March 12, 2007

By	Heidi Farrar "okra eater" (Arkansas) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This DVD has about everything a person could ask for when looking for something about tornados. There is the standard "meteorological talk" (which to some might be a bit on the cheesy side, but is educational and worthwhile in my opinion), great chase footage, as well as a good bit of footage about "after the storm," which is usually missing in all other tornado films. There is a lot of great "bonus footage" too. But the best part about this DVD is, whether you love it or hate it, it only costs about $3.00, so who could complain? (I can't leave out that this DVD also has a great sound clip of the "roar" tornadic thunderstorms often make -- that "freight-train" or, as I would call it "jet-engine" sound that everyone always talks about hearing when there has been a tornado.)

This is a special produced by a Tulsa television station some few years back. It shows some good videos and also gives some good advice on surviving tornadoes. It comes in a cardboard sleeve.
