Extreme Weather - Hurricanes & More

Listen Wednesday, Jul. 18, 2007 at 12:06 p.m. in Environment, Science, Weather

The National Hurricane Center recently weathered a political hurricane of its own, when its top administrator was forced out after criticizing his bosses at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. As Congress prepares for hearings on the matter, we get insight into the way weather predictions are made, the technology we rely on, and what can be learned from examining the history of extreme weather events.
