I was going to write a post about how bad Heroes and Smallville are this year, but most of you probably already know this if you've seen them. So let's focus on some positive programming... And that is The Discovery Channel's show Storm Chasers now in its second season. This is a documentary show following around two groups of storm chasers looking to "intercept" a tornado for scientific research and for footage for an Imax film. the Imax camera truck is a tank that locks into the ground because the cameraman wants to drive the tankcam into the actual tornado to get footage of being inside the twister. Last season they came up short, and this year is not off to the best of starts. Yes these people are nuts.
Then there is a new group this year from Oklahoma that chase storms solely for the footage to sell to news stations and other outlets. There is a crazy competition between these two teams which is great to watch. If you like weather watching, this is a great show to get addicted to. Think of this as "Twister" the series but it's for real. Highly recommended.
