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.

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.

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!

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 !!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Just discovered this show and absolutely love it! The cool thing is all the videos are from everyday people so you know they are true. Much more interesting than a television film crew doing the story. The stories are also told by the people that went thru the storm. I'm hooked and am so hoping we have more episodes coming! God knows there's enough bad weather and other such catastrophies to keep on filming. It's absolutely riveting... it's such a welcome diversion from the politics of the day. Hearing about these stories on the Weather channel or local news pales in comparison to seeing it from the eyes of those going thru the experience first hand.

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.
