Science Channel will broadcast UKTV series “Hurricane Man” which features veteran storm chaser Josh Morgerman getting up close and personal with some of the world’s most dangerous storms, the network announced on Wednesday. The series premiered on UKTV’s Dave Channel on March 24.
The eight-episode series finds Morgerman chasing hurricanes and collecting scientific storm data around the world, from remote Japanese cities and the far-north jungles of the Philippines to the coastal waters of America’s Deep South and the Pacific shoreline of Mexico.
“I’m totally stoked Science Channel has chosen to air Hurricane Man. This is the perfect place for me to share the highs and lows of my life as a storm chaser, and this is an audience who’ll dig the science angle, too,” Morgerman said.
