Oklahoma Fury : Day Of The Tornadoes

image

Sometimes the awesome destructive power of nature exposes just how fragile Man really is. On the 3rd May 1999, the fastest winds ever recorded on Earth ripped through the American heartland state of Oklahoma. More than 50 deadly tornadoes destroyed 5000 houses and killed 44 men, women and children. Using some astonishing footage captured by daredevil tornado chasers, Oklahoma Fury: Day Of The Tornadoes follows in the wake of those lethal twisters as they unleash their terrible trail of devastation. Enhanced by amazing stories of survival and graphic illustrations of its deadly power, the film also reveals the positive news that scientists are closer than ever to predicting when and where the twister will strike next. For the victims of the Oklahoma tornadoes, however, these scientific advances have come much too late.
