 Storm Chasers DVD Review


Synopsis: This product is exclusive to the Discovery Channel Store.
Venture with an intrepid group of scientists, filmmakers and adventurers as they hunt down devastating tornadoes to capture amazing IMAX footage and valuable scientific data in America's 'Tornado Alley'. Follow this diverse group as they embark on another grueling season of storm chasing.
The Complete 2009 Season of Storm Chasers, including:

1. Storm Catchers: Tornado season erupts early in Oklahoma. Reed gets his new Dominator too close. Tim chases multiples, and Sean battles a rain-wrapped monster.

2. Bigger in Texas: Sean and Reed face off at the New Mexico border. Monster tornados break up everything in their paths, except the tension.

3. Highway to Hail: Reed steps up his science to take on Dr. Josh Wurman's massive research project. Joel has second thoughts. The fallout reaches Sean, who makes a drastic decision.

4. Inside the Tornado: Reed's new radar propels him from aggressive chaser to extreme scientist, inside an EF3.

5. Not in Kansas Anymore: Reed, Sean and Tim take on the strongest tornado conditions of the season, and nature responds with twisters too close to home.

6. Fight or Flight: Both Tim Samaras and the TIV team face off with a dangerous tornado. Reed pushes too close, and finds no place to hide.

7. Sean Casey At The Bat: Sean Casey's meteorologists finally put him in position for the shot of a lifetime, and this time it's a home run. Reed, Tim, and Josh all score big.

8. EF-3 Strikes, You're Out: On the last chase of the season in Nebraska, Reed and Tim chase multiple vortices. But when an EF-3 monster touches down right on top of Reed's armored research vehicle, Mother Nature shows who really dominates in Tornado Alley.

Review: Remember the movie 'Twister'?  Well, this is it...but its real life.  This is what I used to do as a kid.  Even before the movie came out, I'd go storm chasing on my own.  I had no equipment or training...or common sense, but hey I had guts.  A few close calls later, I decided to hang up my storm chasing shoes.   Meanwhile, I still have a love for the chase.  This show, which airs on Discovery, is a fantastic foray into the real life world of storm chasing.

This season gives you eight full episodes of Reed, Sean and Tim using the most up to date technology to chase down tornadoes all across the midwest!  I know that so many people watch reality television..but this is true reality.  You can't fake a storm.  Its a blast and a great ride.

Storm Chasers is available ONLY on the Discovery Channel website!  We've placed a link at the top of this review for you.
