Storm Chaser George Kourounis intercepts the eye of Hurricane Ike on Galveston Island, Texas on Sept 12/12 2008. Ike was a very large and powerful hurricane that brought widespread destruction to the Texas coastline.
Escaping Galveston was tricky due to flooding, and the vehicle stalled out in deep water and had to be towed out. Eventually the team had to use a piece of windshield-washer hose to suck the sea water out of the engine cylinders. The truck eventually started up again and they drove back to home base in Toronto!
