Tornado! Hurricane! Flood!: Wonders of the Weather
1996 · Film · documentary · 57 min
Directed by Martin Gorst, Yavar Abbas, Richard Burke
This video presents a look at the forces of nature in their most devastating mode: lightning storms, tornadoes, flash floods, tidal waves, and hurricanes. The film, made for The Discovery Channel, accompanies professional storm chasers as they ride into the eye of a category five hurricane to gather data and get a close-up view. There is footage of a tornado with 300-mile-per-hour winds, as well as 100-foot tidal waves hurtling towards shore at 500 miles per hour. The viewer witnesses a flash flood and hears an interview with a lightning strike survivor.

Reminds me of the scene from the Tom Hanks movie The Wonders where the band is originally cute with the spelling, Oneders, and an emcee introduces them as the Oh-Nee-Ders.
For the opposite effect, does anyone else find themselves pronouncing gnu (the animal) with a hard G, a la GNU?
