On May 3, 1999, an F-5 tornado broke records with wind speeds reaching 318 mph and left over a billion dollars of damage in its wake. Jeff Piotrowski followed the storm from its initiation west of Lawton, OK, through Chickasha and the suburbs of Oklahoma City. This DVD also includes video of the Piedmont/Mulhall, OK, night time tornadoes and "Life of a Supercell."

Legendary Emmy Award-winning storm chaser Jeff Piotrowski and photographer Kathryn Piotrowski captured every heart-stopping moment in HD from two perspectives. This footage, described as "the best tornado footage you will ever see", was shot at incredibly close range, with debris pelting their vehicle, "The War Horse." With debris still falling and the roar fading, Jeff and Kathryn transitioned into search and rescue mode. They were the first to arrive on Iowa St., hit directly by the EF-5 tornado. Jeff pulled people from the rubble, while Kathryn cleared twisted metal beams from the road for rescuers. Survivors Amber Munson, Ryan Tackett, Mark Lindquist (via his sister Linda Lindquist-Baldwin), Lucian Myers, and Judy Owens-Lowe share their stories of survival and courage. Joplin begins its recovery with the help of thousands of volunteers. The Spirit of Joplin thrives as the community rebuilds, wearing the badge of honor that says: I AM JOPLIN!
