Editorial Reviews

Experience some of history's greatest natural disasters first hand. Take an in-depth look at some of the most intense challenges Mother Nature has to offer; and find out what we can do to help avoid such disasters in the future. This explosive two-DVD set includes: * Tornadoes: Nature's Death Spirals - From some of the first documented killer tornadoes in 1938 to the establishment of the National Severe Storms Laboratory, learn the history of the furious enigma known as the tornado. * Hurricanes: Deadly Wind, Deadly Rain - They are trouble in paradise - covering up to 600 miles and carrying sustained winds of up to 155 miles per hour. Discover the story behind some of history's most destructive hurricanes! * Nor'easters: Killer Storms - Beneath New England's serene facade lies one of nature's most potent furies: nor'easters. Fierce winter storms with winds up to 75 miles per hour and wave crests of 15 feet or higher, they have the power to reshape entire coast lines. * Tsunami: Killer Waves - They are as mysterious as they are deadly - there are no obvious warning signs. Learn how the destructive menace of tsunami has transformed the geography and character of Hawaii forever. * Blizzards: White Out! - No other kind of weather so often returns the modern city and inhabitants to a pioneer state. The word "blizzard" comes from a military term for a volley of gunfire - and the storms that bear this name are equally as deadly! * Flash Floods: Deadly Downpour - Their deadly force comes from speed, stealth and awesome intensity. In a matter of hours - or minutes - rain can combine with a river or stream to create a deadly wall of water; a flash flood is born. * Firestorms: Nature Out of Control - There is an uneasy alliance between humans and fire. We live with fire, we need fire - but nothing can stop its raging power once it's out of control!

This review is from: Nature's Fury [DVD] By The History Channel (DVD)

The title to this collection is misleading. This set is actually a collection of the History Channel's Wrath of God series. While it does concern unusual occurrences, the focus is more on the human element and how people have been impacted by once in a lifetime events. If you are looking for a documentary with a scientific focus this is not it. That being said, this is still a fascinating collection of stories. Some are famous events and others are not well known.

Disc 1 includes: Tornadoes:Nature's Death Spirals, Firestorm:Nature out of Control, Tsunami:Killer Waves and Blizzards:White Out.

Disc 2 includes:Hurricanes-Category 5, Nor'easters:Killer Storms and Flash Floods: Deadly Downpour

Each Episode contains several instances of the topic that include rare footage, interviews and news reports. It is done documentary style and you really get a feel of what it was like and the difficulties and triumphs of the people impacted. Many of the events had little or no warning and because of them many of our current day emergency procedures are better because of the lessons learned. If you enjoy watching the History Channel documentaries and wondered why the Wrath of God series had few episodes available, they were put into this set and given a misleading title. This is a powerful set of stories that are very entertaining and informative.
