While dangerous, extreme weather makes for some riveting video and lends itself to being easily shared online and going viral. Such videos of destructive weather are featured on this series, which showcases the weather footage in addition to featuring first-hand accounts of survivors who lived through the treacherous conditions. On-air meteorologists also share their tales of being on the front lines and experiencing the fury that Mother Nature sends their way, sometimes even becoming the story themselves. Tsunamis, lightning storms and tornados are among the weather phenomena that take center stage on "Weather Gone Viral."

Tornadoes in outer space; a volcanic eruption that creates a sonic boom; a fog that overwhelms the Grand Canyon and makes it vanish from sight.

A father and daughter are home when an EF4 tornado is headed straight for them; four friends are hiking in a canyon when a flash flood overtakes them.

Towering dust storms engulf a road trip; crushing avalanches hit the slopes; rogue waves onboard a cruise liner; golf ball-sized hail and an EF2 tornado strike the beach.

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.
