In the Eye of the 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!

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.

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!

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.
