Tornado Chasers

Ride along with Reed Timmer and the rest of the TVN Weather crew as they film tornadoes up close and personal. This series is web only but if you liked Storm Chasers you will LOVE Tornado Chasers.

Meteorologist Reed Timmer and his crew report for 4WARN Storm Team at KFOR in Oklahoma City. You will be able to ride along with them in the "Dominators" (specially modified vehicles that allow them to enter inside of a tornado) as they travel up and down tornado alley filming all the wrath mother nature has to offer.

Throughout this season you will see another familiar face. Jim Cantore from The Weather Channel rides along with the crew for his first actual storm chase. It is quite amusing to watch Reed and Jim get so excited. It is like watching two kids on Christmas morning.

This series not only shows you severe weather but you get a glimpse of the lives of those involved from the chasers to those whose lives are forever changed by the storms.

Being a storm spotter for the National Weather Service I can relate to a lot of what I see on this show but they take it to the next level. There are no other shows like this and it is refreshing to see something different. I enjoyed this show so much I watched all the episodes in less than 24 hours. I HIGHLY recommend this for weather enthusiasts, reality TV junkies (who are tired of scripts), and for anyone who enjoys a good Adrenalin rush. This show is family friendly, educational, and all around a very well done production filmed live during actual weather events. I plan on using it with my sons who are in home school.

Ever since Discovery Channel dropped Reed Timmer and his Dominators, TV has been lacking the one reality type show that is different from the rest. This show isn't just about tornadoes, but about the real people behind the chases. It's pretty difficult to have a show about just tornadoes without a group of professionals getting the shots people want to see. This show brings to us the life of these people outside of the vehicles.

I think it would be unwise to not give this show a whole season's worth of viewing before deciding for yourself. I think it opens a whole wide window into the life of people who risk it all to inform us of what could be in our backyard.

Fantastic show! Reed takes his work seriously and is very professional. He is leading the way in the field to finally find out what makes these storms tick and to further advance our current warning systems. Not to mention their use of ground breaking equipment such as the Dominator armed research vehicles, and his use of storm probes. Also, his explanations of storm cloud structure and formation help me in my own life in recognizing threatening weather. It also shows up close how dangerous these storms can really be, and to heed warnings and take necessary precautions to keep you and your family safe. Great work guys! I look forward to your future episodes!

Previous reviews yielded that "It was not like Discovery show" simple translation meaning this show is unscripted and dives into the real story of chasing. The series does a fantastic job on immersion into the storm chaser role. Whether it be finding the perfect long track tornado or coming up with nothing this show powers through ups and down. Another factor that makes this show is the cast, the devotion and passion shown towards their goal of improved science and research is unmatched. What this small production has done is excellent and produces two very solid seasons. If you are looking for a more "behind the scenes" look on chasing aka:Real this is it. Not everything is identical to what you see watching Twister.

Great Show 10/10 Serious,Comedic and, Genius

This show is amazing!! It shows the true side of storm chasing. You begin each day as they would at Reed's house getting ready to chase. You continue to follow them throughout the day. You can get various gas station scenes. You end up at the storm cell they are targeting and this is where the magic of this show kicks in. Reed's team gets some amazing footage. It's not supposed to be glamorous and I like that about this show. Reed and his team do a great job with this show and their research. So, if you wanted this show to be like storm chasers you probably out of luck. While, Storm Chasers was great it had that reality show TV feel to it with all the drama between the different teams. Tornado Chasers is not reality TV it's a documentary about storm chasing that is accurate. If you like documentaries you will like this show.
