Editorial Review:
National Geographic's brilliant cinematography brings the fury of windstorms to life in Cyclone! Tornadoes whip through the Midwest, causing incalculable damage; Hurricane Andrew batters Florida with impossible force; typhoons wreak havoc on tiny Pacific islands. You can stand right in the middle of these events in the relative safety of your living room while scientists study them to learn how to predict future events and ordinary citizens struggle to survive and recover from their devastation. The footage is dramatic and sometimes touching, particularly the hunt for survivors in Florida following Andrew's 1992 tantrum. The scientific information is presented clearly, and though we're still far from the day when we can feel safe from these storms, it is reassuring to know how far we've come. --Rob Lightner
Brave the eye of the storm in CYCLONE! Anyone, at any time, can fall victim to nature's raging furies. Around the globe, hurricanes, tornadoes, and typhoons strike - without mercy and often without warning. So far this century, more than half a million lives have been lost to the violent forces of cyclones, tropical storms, and the wicked weather swirling in and around them. National Geographic chronicles some of the world's most shocking storms with gripping footage and scenes of heart-thumping, real-life drama: roofs ripped from houses, trees snapped like toothpicks, and trucks tossed about like children's toys. From twisters sweeping across the Midwest's "Tornado Alley", to the vicious force of Florida's Hurricane Andrew, to the deadly powerful typhoons of the Pacific, the forces of nature are among the most powerful forces on earth. Before the next killer storm, scientists are rushing to unlock the mysteries of the CYCLONE!

This is a fantastic video. I show it at the end of my weather lessons, and the students love it. It mostly talks about tornadoes and hurricanes, but it also goes into why the weather does what it does. The photography is so great - on par for National Geographic. Another good companion video is National Geographic "Storm of the Century." (that is more entertaining.) If you are looking to learn something about weather and see some fabulous footage, this is the video for you.
