If all hell is breaking loose, George Kourounis isn't far behind. In fact, he's usually hot on the trail of the world's most destructive natural disasters and storms, as he makes his living on Mother Nature's fury. He is a storm chaser and host of the Outdoor Life Network's Angry Planet. When he's not busy putting himself in a hurricane's path, you may find him climbing an erupting volcano or weathering a tropical storm. But George says a beautiful tornado is the icing on the cake. He was in Gulfport, Mississippi when Hurricane Katrina struck. When Orato caught up to him at the height of storm season, George was busy trying to catch a twister down in Texas, dodging bobcats on the highway, his cell phone cutting in and out as he blazed along the U.S.-Mexican border. In the end, we lost contact, but we heard enough to know that the host of Angry Planet is one happy storm chaser.
