            As our seas rise and hurricanes get stronger, it is important that we understand more about storm surge – the most dangerous part of a hurricane. In this episode of Weathered we tell the story behind the best video we’ve ever seen of storm surge – or any storm footage for that matter – captured by storm chaser Max Olson’s probe. And we’ll tell you why it matters.
