Season 1 of Nature's Fury premiered on June 2, 2009.

Mother Nature is more powerful than any man-made bomb, more ferocious than any army. Filmmaker % adventurer Chris Terrill is fascinated by extreme situations and in this series confronts nature head-on, exploring unique human experiences of severe weather. Without a crew, Chris goes alone with camera into life-threatening situations confronting high-speed tornados, ferocious hurricanes and deadly firestorms. He meets the people who live and work in the path of these killer natural forces. Chris says: “I suppose if I’m honest I’d have to admit that I am a bit of an adrenaline junkie, there are those that think I’ve got a death wish, but I haven’t, I’m as terrified as anybody else of what storms can actually do. But I’m also fascinated and beguiled by these extraordinary forces of nature, that’s why I wanted to get as close as I could to look them in the eye, feel their heartbeat, really try to understand them from the inside.”
