Water
Alex looks at how water can create freakish weather events around the planet. He learns about how a strange combination of weather phenomena created the deadly storm of 1953, which resulted in the UK's worst flood. Over 300 people died in the UK and thousands more in Germany and Holland. Eyewitnesses to the tragedy tell their stories of survival in the face of the onslaught of water. Not all water weather is lethal; Alex learns how rocks move silently across a desert floor and explains how dying micro-organisms in the water turned the sea into froth like a cappuccino, turning a Scottish village into a nightclub foam party. He also investigates weather events that take weirdness to a new level: a rain of worms in Scotland, giant hailstones called ice bombs, and a strange underwater wave that may explain the Loch Ness Monster.
