The Weather Channel has a new series that features the Coast Guard unit based in Kodiak, Alaska. It is an elite team that risks their lives in search and rescue missions.

While dangerous, extreme weather makes for some riveting video and lends itself to being easily shared online and going viral. Such videos of destructive weather are featured on this series, which showcases the weather footage in addition to featuring first-hand accounts of survivors who lived through the treacherous conditions. On-air meteorologists also share their tales of being on the front lines and experiencing the fury that Mother Nature sends their way, sometimes even becoming the story themselves. Tsunamis, lightning storms and tornadoes are among the weather phenomena that take center stage.

The Weather Channel's Survival Expert, Creek Stewart, will train these men in how to build shelter, start fire and hunt with nothing but their bare hands, and maybe a condom or a gum wrapper. Three men, one week and one objective: to learn the skills that make a man... a man. This show is not about making fun of fat guys. It's about giving regular Joes the chance to do something they've only seen done by Brad Pitt-types. These guys may not have a clue how to survive on their own, but by the end of their week in the woods they'll have the knowledge, and courage, to survive.

This show introduces viewers to extraordinary people who possess the power to control, manipulate or conquer nature, performing feats that could harm or kill the average human. They may brave sub-zero temps in just a pair of shorts; pass electricity through their body and out their fingertips in a bolt of lightning; set themselves on fire, claiming to be fireproof; and fly like a human-bird at speeds more than 100 mph.

The End of Days is a gripping, dramatic interpretation of how the ancient prophecies of The Book of Revelation could unfold in our modern world.
