0:00:00 – Blizzards: Blizzards affect mankind every winter, across every continent. Combining ice cold temperatures, snow and extreme wind, this mother of all storms is a living hell that has the power to paralyse entire countries. From the prairies of Canada to Northern China, this episode explores the destructive and unpredictable nature of blizzards.
0:51:28 – Earthquakes: More than a hundred earthquakes occur each year. They can annihilate a city in just a few seconds. Tokyo, Istanbul, Los Angeles… Some of the biggest cities in the world are under threat. Fortunately, our understanding of earthquakes is becoming more and more accurate. Almost everywhere on the surface of the globe, a vast network of GPS trackers have been installed on mountains as on great plains. Researchers from all over the world are now focusing on one single objective: Anticipating the exact moment when the Earth will move.
1:43:09 – Lightning: Thunder, lightning bolts. Forces of nature experienced by all of us. Storms are a natural phenomenon that take place in a specific set of conditions. Lightning can take different forms and not all forms will necessarily strike the ground. It can cover kilometres in the sky and pass from one cloud to another. We examine how electric fields are formed inside clouds and how lightning determines its target on the ground.
2:34:95 – Tornadoes: They’re huge funnels of wind fallen from the sky, travelling at great speeds, sweeping up everything in their path. One of the most affected countries is the USA, which experiences approximately 1,200 tornadoes every year. With wind speeds inside their vortex reaching up to 500 km per hour and travelling at the speed of a high-speed train, tornadoes are capable of destroying everything in their path. But how do they start? How can we predict them and minimise their destruction?
3:26:13 – Mudslides: Tons of mud and earth hurtle down the mountainside. A phenomenon so powerful, it can transport huge blocks of stone. A mudslide is the liquid form of a landslide. Over the past 10 years, mudslides have claimed over 50,000 lives. How can we explain these incredibly powerful phenomena and what are the scientific forces at work?

Pft the snow storm in 1978 was a nasty one, the one we had in 2015 was not nice either!~
They have to have petrol powered snow clearing machines, pricks🤣
Get the U.S. out of the U.N.
Scientists cannot predict shit!
NO NEED FOR PREDICTION–TRUMP HAS ARRIVED.
Just sent you a quick email—let me know what you think when you get a chance
Cant listen to 5 hours of this jibber jabber. 🤢
How about next time we do a video that's not in French and you have to read cuz I love the videos and subscribe to the channel but I would much rather watch TV then have to read TV
I would like to know how animals can predict an earthquake just BEFORE it happens! Animal behaviour and pets especially seem to know something is going to happen! How do they do this?
Jibble jabber jiberish 😆
I also believe it's points in space/ time that elevate or even cool with many variations with effects within solar system/sun activity. Moving as fast as we are through space time we could run through an ocean, or hit by snowball of size and speed. Zapped by quasar. Pulled in by black whole. The final price is waiting at the center and that's if we make it without one or more changes fate for fate. I'm thinking yea space is cold, but if great explosion or implosion happened and earth and/system quickly passes through it even if change is minute but for a trail or length through time/space could have major temperature effect. And we know what happens when hot gets cooled. Vapor that condensate, welcome h2o. Cool to warm? Electrifying. You'd be foolish not to think our space /time surroundings. How many times have we been around our milkyway galaxy? Is there a similarly as we circle again in notable places. But does Place= time+matter, time+energy = space. Energy- time = antimatter. Energy + matter ɓe stars. With all mentioned, if a Rogue star swished by, and we pass through it, we know there are more to earth's dire cycles and everything is a constant recycle/renewal of all we witness looking in or looking out by life all about and that's matter+energy+time + all the controlling forces around it. Matter is what we are, energy is who we are, and time is where we are. Each not to destroy but tradeable bonded by gravity of course, one of the greatest players. And all in the hands of GOD. Pray he never lead a blind eye and please bless mankind with your glory thy lord, in Jesus’s name, Amen, Amen
