In the Eye of the Storm

The footage in most of the episodes is really intense. You see a side of events that you may not used to. As someone who lives in the South the Hawaii wildfire and Buffalo Snowmageddon episodes were probably the most shocking to me as they were phenomenon we don't really see experience. I think one thing that was repeatedly said was "we heard the warnings but didn't take it seriously because we get them all the time..." or "we just thought this was the usual and it wouldn't get that bad." It's definitely a reminder to listen to and heed warnings because they are given for a reason. Many of the episodes show how rapidly a natural event can devolve and how decisions have to be made in a split second and they can have extreme consequences. The video of the mass casualty interstate pileups in the blizzard were truly shocking and one of many reminders in the series about the danger first responders put themselves in to save people.

Watching Reed Timmer chase for 8 hours at a time is one thing, but seeing a condensed version with multiple angles and points of view in 40 minutes really brings home just how devastating these natural disasters are.

It emphasizes the importance of taking the warnings seriously and shows first hand just how intense a tornado or derecho is up close and personal.

There's already an influx of storm chasers clogging the roads and with the new movie Twisters out, this next storm season is going to have a lot more people. Stay home and watch this unless you're trained to chase storms. It's the next best thing.

Highly recommend for everyone. It might be scary but it's educational and could save a life.

No, this isn't a horror show or about any monsters or haunted houses. The monster in Eye of the storm , the latest and welcomed hit show from discovery, is Mother Nature itself. The first person video and audio from storm chasers to regular citizens is absolutely harrowing and will leave you speechless. These storms you May remember hearing about if you were lucky enough to not have been in their paths. We don't see how truly terrifying it is to live through a tornado blowing through our homes and communities or a hurricane . Discovery has truly hit a home run with this new series and its must see. The horror that you will feel and sadness for these people is great and the respect you have for Mother Nature when she decides to get nasty. The production is very impressive and the way it is showed in chronological order from beginning to end in real time is unprecedented in television. Eye of the storm offers something that I have not witnessed from any Hollywood production because no person could ever truly reproduce the power of the weather. These stories are real and raw and show the best of people in the worst imaginable situations. It's about perfect in the shocking way it is all presented. Must watch !!!

As a South African wedont have many tornadoes, hurricanes, snow, earthquakes etc. This series shows a different side of the US living the dream life.

Depending on where you are you need to always be prepared for whatever Mother Nature might throw your way.

What ive also learnt is that people dont like listening to authoritative warnings... A storm from hell is coming, but lets go for a drive to check it out.

Ive also learnt that you need an emergency kit in the car. Flares, silver space blankets, burn shield creams, knife, scissors, bandages. Then water and something to eat. Blankets and more warm and dry clothes. Esp when you know something nasty is coming your way.

This series makes these natural events so real and so scary that even over thousands and thousands of miles away I will be better prepared.

I had a little to know faith that the show would be different from any other crockpot show that just repeats the same thing over and over again with three seconds of footage they tease you with, then you come to find out that's all they have.

I'm not sure how it took so long to get a show about whether like this, but they nailed it. From all appearances it's respectful to the people who lost everything and the people who were lost. It also shows many different perspectives and different storms in one episode, but it's nicely tied together.

There is no part you need to fast forward, and there is no repeated footage. It gets to the point while covering a great deal more than any other series has been able to do this far in the tv era.

The footage is captured by the people who actually experienced the storm their cameos are enlightening and gutwrenching. The stories that come from the victims serve the purpose to hopefully help others stay safe in this storm.
