In the Eye of the Storm

I can't rave enough about this television series. Each episode follows a different natural disaster in America, all in real-time thanks to people's mobile phones, news reports, doorbell cameras, etc. I have never been so on the edge of my seat during a series, it has you feeling a whole mixture of emotions. It is unbelievable to think about what people go through and come out of the other end with a story to tell. I binge-watched the whole first season in two days, I hope we get another season soon. If you love things about storm watching, or anything about disasters then please watch this series, you will not be disappointed.

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.

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.

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 !!!

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!
