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.

The way the series is made is really refreshing and I really learned a lot watching it. They telling these disastrous events like a time line, with the real story's and videos made by the people who where really there. It's emotional to watch at some times, because they really did a good representation of what happened and what the aftermath really is for people. I really hope there are more episodes earing soon because it's really interesting to watch and also learn a lot more of the things you only see partly on the news. The impact is so much bigger and deeper then i thought and new from the news.

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.

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.

This show is fantastic! It's so well thought out and put together between the interviews, footage, and other additions. The raw footage is fascinating, heartbreaking, and shocking! The people who went through these experiences are inspiring especially when they're out risking their own lives to save others. I highly recommend watching it, it's better than any "reality" show out there. It doesn't get more real or terrifying than what these people went through! I have always been fascinated by storms like these but after watching these first hand accounts, all I can say is that I am grateful to have never found myself or any of my loved ones in such a situation!
