Wrath of God: Disasters In America - Season 1 Episode 20 Super Outbreaks
With winds in the hundreds of miles per hour and the destructive force of a bomb, tornadoes are one of the most feared natural disasters. Alone they are devastating; in large numbers their power can be apocalyptic. THE WRATH OF GOD travels back to April 3 and 4, 1974, when, in an 18-hour period, 148 tornadoes ravaged the Midwest and South, killing 315 people in 13 states. Nothing like it had ever happened before, and meteorologists coined the term 'super outbreak' to describe it. Follow the destructive path of the storms from Brandenburg, Kentucky to Xenia, Ohia. Hear the harrowing stories of those who survived the fury, and see startling footage of the rampaging storms and awesome destruction. And scientists explore the possible reasons for the outbreak.
