Understanding Weather: Storms (clip)

Storms — their origins, paths and destructiveness — are the subject at hand for Wesley, an engaging animated character who is determined to become a member of the Weather Bureau of Investigation (WBI). By witnessing a hurricane, thunderstorm and tornado in person and on his Weather Watch, Wesley understands that similar forces cause all three, but with varying intensity and scope, depending on whether they form over land or sea. With the help of the WBI, Wesley and young viewers get close and personal views of nature at its rawest and most powerful. As part of the "Understanding Weather" series, Wesley, an animated, curious, somewhat daring young fellow, makes weather fun and comprehensible for even the youngest viewers. Produced by Bill Walker Productions. A Coronet release.
