Coast Guard Cape Disappointment: Pacific Northwest
Cape Disappointment, the largest search and rescue station in the Northwest, sits at the mouth of the Columbia River. This area is regarded as one of the most difficult river bars to navigate in the world. With a combination of strong outgoing tides and large incoming swells, surf conditions can exist in and around the bar entrance producing waves that reach 30 feet in height. In order to combat these conditions, the unit has five search and rescue boats all designed for operations in heavy surf; each boat is capable of re-righting itself after rolling over in breaking swells.
Storm Wranglers
Storm Tracker Kelley Williamson and partner Randy Yarnall go head-to-head with every storm imaginable including powerful tornadoes and supercell thunderstorms. The Missourian duo truly love tracking storms and it comes across in a down-home, authentic way. Kelley, a farmer by trade, started storm tracking after his wife Carol got caught in an EF4 tornado in 2008. The twister picked up her van, and as a result, she nearly broke every bone in her body. The incident ignited Kelley's passion, and he is the eyes and ears on the ground for The Weather Channel when our viewers need it most.
Forecasting the End
From Nostradamus and the ancient Mayans to modern-day scientists, the theoretical "apocalypse" has been the source of endless speculation and countless predictions, with anything from super-volcanoes to mega-tsunamis, rogue planets or a massive methane eruption leading to the so-called "end of life as we know it." In this series, some of the world's leading scientists, along with elaborate computer graphics, illustrate the different "what if?" theories of if and how catastrophic weather or natural disasters could possibly cause the end of days or transform our lives forever.
Cold Water Captains
This show ventures hundreds of miles offshore in the perilous North Atlantic with six fishing crews, facing swells as tall as houses and icebergs the size of small cities. It's a dangerous job with countless challenges and ferocious weather - all of which are tough on the boats, tough on gear, tough on the human body.
Weather Geeks
Hosted by Dr. Marshall Shepherd and Chris Warren, the show explores the most important topics in the weather community.
Focusing on the merits of storm chasing, it asks the tough questions - is it worth it? what is the value? are chasers putting themselves and others at risk? The episodes will feature expert host Dr. Marshall Shepherd and his guest, world-renowned storm chaser Dr. Charles Doswell.
