Weather is unpredictable, and can threaten lives without warning; whether it's churning seas, deadly wildfires, or exploding volcanoes, no one is safe when good weather goes bad.

While it pays to be prepared, sometimes one has to roll with the punches when at the mercy of Mother Nature.

Imagining the horror of being trapped in a tornado, hammered by 30-foot waves, struck by lightning or struggling to stay afloat in a flash flood; only superhuman strength, courage, and the will to survive will help weather this kind of weather.

Mother Nature can melt a road, flood a building or destroy an entire community; from the unexpected to the unforgettable to the downright unbelievable, she's always got something new and different up her sleeve.

Everyone faces challenges on the job, but for those whose work forces them to endure the ravages of Mother Nature, extreme weather makes for an extra rough day at the office.

With extreme weather taking an increasingly terrible toll upon the planet, inventors, scientists and concerned citizens around the world have taken matters into their own hands and become actively involved in finding solutions to this global menace.

Weather destroys power grids, floods homes, uproots mature trees, tosses huge trucks like toys and ends lives without remorse; when weather attacks, there's rarely a way to stop it.

In life, everything can change in an instant, and that's never more true than when weather is involved; whether documenting a devastating tornado or intentionally putting oneself in danger, Mother Nature always keeps people on their toes.

Satellites and computer modeling make weather prediction admirably reliable; weather is a complex stew of potent global forces; it can churn itself into an explosive force of terrifying ferocity, one that levels cities and snuffs out lives.

Nature's wrath comes in many forms: torrential, unforgiving rain, a vicious blast of unseen wind, a turbulent, powerful flood; a calm day is worth embracing; nature puts people who aren't careful in their place.

Some weather events are so weird they defy explanation -- even from the most seasoned meteorologists; they're the rarely-seen phenomena that puzzle and capture one's imagination.
