A tornado is a fast forming natural disaster that can wreck homes and demolish cities in a flash. But by the time a tornado is ripping off roofs and tossing cars, scientists have already sent out warnings and instructions to find safety. They know its history and can predict its power.

Before It Was a Tornado starts at the peak of the action--the chaos and power of a twister at full strength--before stepping backward through time. Follow its journey from a cloud to one of the most destructive storms on Earth.
