Tornado Chasers

My main passion has been Tornadoes and Tornado Chasing since 1996, so when I saw this show advertised I was very excited.

You feel the 'Thrill of the chase' watching it and you see some really good laugh's with Reed and the rest of the crew but not only that, you actually learn a few things about how they take reading's, what they intend to do on next intercept and what sort of things they use to gather data from storms.

I think what is important to take away from the show is that of course its not always about tornadoes, it's about the storms that produce them and what type of outcome can come from certain thunder storms and better predict what, if any, tornadoes can be produced from them. I love the show and I really like that we get to see Reed and his team working hard to try and protect other's with their predictions.

BIG THUMBS UP!!

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.

To me this is raw and real thing about tornado chasers. It shows real life, struggle and sometimes missed opportunities. This is how a reality show should be like. There is no false leading scenes, faked drama, it's all real. And if you watched "Behind the scenes", you'll get into it more and understand the concept. What this team do is amazing and a multitasking hell! So much effort, time and money invested into something that can entertain but also help the warning system improvement. The quality of the episodes is outstanding, the sound also. And there is this whole production team, even music composers that are contributing to the whole project. It not only gets you into the chasing, it gets you into the whole project which sometimes seems less organized but it works.

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.

First of all to the person who posted the first comment..."constructive criticism??" Seriously?? that whole thing was a bash in their face. You wanna see tornadoes go watch Twister. This is real raw footage of what their day is like. You probably see more tornadoes on one of their shows than they see in one day. Give em a break jeez!! they are there to document weather and keep people safe and try to figure out why the weather does it was does so they can figure out how to prepare people earlier and earlier and maybe someday even STOP these storms from being so severe. And you want to complain because they don't show enough tornadoes for you?? they aren't out there taping storms for YOUR entertainment. They are out there, putting their lives on the line WORKING to keep us informed and safe you tool.

In a nutshell, this show and everyone in it and everyone in the meteorological field are AWESOME. Keep up the good work and STAY SAFE my friends!! J.Cook Illinois.
