Episode Synopsis

Few people see nature’s raw power up close — but George Kourounis has made it his life’s work. In this conversation, the explorer and storm chaser breaks down Hurricane Melissa, a Category 5 system pounding Jamaica with winds near 295 km/h. He explains what it’s like to witness the “stadium effect” from inside the eye of a storm and why predicting hurricane strength remains one of meteorology’s biggest challenges. As mountains, rain, and wind collide, George shares how awe and respect drive his pursuit of understanding Earth’s fiercest moments.
