In the Eye of the Storm

This show is simply amazing! You'll be on the edge of your seat the entire time as the drama unfolds. It covers tornadoes, wild fires, hurricanes, and blizzards and it puts you right in the middle of the action. Told from the point of view of the people who actually went through it, it tends to get emotional as it portrays the the real human toll from these natural disasters. Excellently done, this show is a can't miss. The footage is simply incredible as I found myself repeating the phrase, "Oh my god!!", time after time. I sincerely hope they produce a second season because this show is one of the best on television.

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.

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.

Information is placed on the screen in white printing and it's repeatedly placed on top of light colored shifting backgrounds (like clouds). It's nearly impossible to read and there have been a few cases I couldn't decipher all of it. But it's interesting info that's directly related to the scene! There has to be a better option for letter color, a text box behind the writing or some other solution!

I am really enjoying the show overall! I'm fascinated by fierce weather and the problems caused by it. Having the show compiled after the fact gives us an overview and summary - unlike the news footage while it's taking place. Please continue!

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.
