Join professional storm chaser and photographer Pecos Hank on a whirlwind journey across the USA..
Did you know 75 percent of the entire planet’s tornadoes are reported in the US? While destructive tornadoes most often make the headlines, all this excessive energy in the atmosphere can result in a spectacle of other wonders that leave us in awe. Not only is nature’s fury amplified with these explosive storms, so is its beauty and power, and that’s exactly what “Pecos” Hank Schyma celebrates in The Greatest Storms on Earth.
A collection of Hank’s most beautiful and greatest storm chasing moments, The Greatest Storms on Earth takes you on a visually captivating journey of the planet’s most stunning thunderstorms. You’ll explore both the largest and fastest tornadoes ever recorded, go behind-the-scenes of Hank’s discovery of the “green ghost” and gain a new appreciation for hailstones, clouds and rainbows. Along the way, you’ll gain a basic understanding of how lightning strikes work, what a “supercell” is, why the US has so many thunderstorms and so much more, all with Hank’s signature down-to-earth (and humorous) commentary.
Whether you’re a storm fanatic or simply a fan of out-of-this world photography, you’ll find something to astonish you in these pages.
