Watch Extreme Environments Season 1 Episode 14 Online

Storms can be manifested as Hurricanes, Cyclones, Sandstorms, Sea Storms and Tornadoes. Different geographic locations are more susceptible to cyclogenisis (the development or strengthening of cyclonic circulation in the atmosphere), and the resulting devastation. Sailors participating in the Sydney to Hobart Race are often at the mercy of severe storm conditions, and parts of America and India have been seriously affected by Hurricanes in the last 10 years. Surfers see the biggest swell in stormy conditions.
