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.

This is a great series on natural disasters and their repercussions on people and the land. We were fascinated at every episode!
