storm chaser R.J. Evans, George heads to Arizona to photograph
spectacular lightning storms triggered by the desert monsoon
season. R.J. however is known as "America's noisiest atheist"
for his free-thought radio show... It seems that the gods are
intent on striking them down with thunderbolts from the heavens. |

African Hellhole: |
In this episode, George
explores the deadly Nyiragongo volcano in the Congo jungle but
the lava lake dwelling inside it's crater may be the least of
his worries as he has to negotiate through armed conflict, a

Fire & Water: |
Following in the footsteps
of the Klondike gold rush, George heads north to the Yukon Territory
and Alaska, but it's not gold he's seeking. It's the intense
summer wildfires that often plague the area during their 24 hours
of daylight. He travels by train, bike, plane and white water
raft to reach the fires but Mother Nature has other plans for
him and doesn't make things easy. |

The Winds of Autumn: |
Hurricanes are the largest
storms on Earth and George has been through many of them. This
year he starts off by getting prepared in a wind tunnel, then
he and his chase partner Mark Robinson head to Newfoundland for
more wild weather action. Then, it's off to another encounter
where the wild wind fans a raging inferno. |

Wild Weather of 2005: |
2005 seemed to be the year
that Earth went wild. Follow George as he brings us back to the
site of his hairiest adventures from that year. Whether it's
descending into a volcano in the most remote corner of Ethiopia,
almost driving into a tornado in Texas or facing down hurricane
Katrina, George was right there at ground zero and lived to tell
the tale. |
