SuperTornado: Anatomy of a Megadisaster 2016

May 22, 2011, the costliest tornado in American history struck Joplin, Missouri, carving a mile-wide swath of destruction and death. Scientists descended on the city to find out what made this tornado so destructive. Find out what they learned about a rising threat to the American heartland. Follow the people of Joplin as they continue to pick up the pieces and struggle to make sense of it all.

Having lived in Tornado Alley for years I found this documentary is informative, scientific, and well-made. The weather conditions that produce these monsters of storms are fascinating, and this storm was particularly devastating in terms of deaths and damage to a large swath of this Missouri city. Production values aren't the highest - the narration sound levels change from scene to scene and at some points when footage from the scene with natural sound is used the mixing of audio left much to be desired. That said, the documentary is worth watching.
