None (2009)
Mother Nature is more powerful than any man-made bomb, more ferocious than any army. Filmmaker % adventurer Chris Terrill is fascinated by extreme situations and in this series confronts nature head-on, exploring unique human experiences of severe weather. Without a crew, Chris goes alone with camera into life-threatening situations confronting high-speed tornados, ferocious hurricanes and deadly firestorms. He meets the people who live and work in the path of these killer natural forces. Chris says: “I suppose if I’m honest I’d have to admit that I am a bit of an adrenaline junkie, there are those that think I’ve got a death wish, but I haven’t, I’m as terrified as anybody else of what storms can actually do. But I’m also fascinated and beguiled by these extraordinary forces of nature, that’s why I wanted to get as close as I could to look them in the eye, feel their heartbeat, really try to understand them from the inside.”
Episodes:
-
Ep. 1: Tornado
In the first episode of the series Chris takes on the tornado – braving giant fist-sized hail, high speed winds and skin-piercing rain as he risks his life to get up close to a twister as it hits the ground. Chris’s film provides a view of tornados from very different perspectives: capturing the excitement and wonder of the awestruck storm chasers and weather tourists who are drawn to their power, drama and beauty, which contrasts sharply with the fearfulness of the people living in the path of twisters that continually threaten to destroy their communities and even claim their lives.

Ep. 3: Firestorm
In the final part of the series, Chris heads to Southern California at the height of the fire season and witnesses a 100 foot tornado of flames, a searing blaze threatening homes and firefighters desperately racing to cut down vegetation to starve the raging fires of fuel. Chris meets the firemen who are dispatched to the front line to battle the blazes and stop the fires from spreading and destroying everything in their path. He films alongside the crew, feet away from the scorching heat, as they attempt to bring the infernos under control. To capture the firestorms on film, Chris heads to Southern California’s wildfire country where densely forested mountains are intersected by heavily populated valleys that act as funnels for strong, hot desert winds that return every autumn
