Terra Informa brings you an episode dedicated to things that occur only once i

Program Title: Terra Informa - S10E24 - Once In A Lifetime
Description: Some things in our world happen consistently, but so infrequently, that we call them “once in a lifetime events.” It might be the rare Category 5 hurricane that makes landfall, causing untold destruction. It might be more personal—like the Californian hiker who is attacked by a cougar only to be saved by a bear. Or it might be a 7,000 ton meteor strike in Western Siberia exploding into the earth’s atmosphere, causing us all to count our blessings.

This week on Terra Informa, we’ll explore a “once in a lifetime events,” including a personal account of Mumbai’s worst flood on record. We’ll discuss extreme weather more generally, diving into the science and mining stories out of our own experiences. And we’ll start with a story that tries to tease out the pros and cons of once in a lifetime events, by examining the remarkable life cycle of the agave plant. It’s all right here on Terra Informa’s Once In A Lifetime! Theme Show.
