  Working outdoors all day today has me drained!  I hope to be able to stay up to watch both shows.

Thanks for the heads-up!

I just remembered, luckily I can catch what I missed later tonight.  I just set the DVR for the later air times.

After watching the show on lightning, I have the sudden urge to purchase a super-slow-motion video camera. Some AMAZING video!

[Downlinerz2]

  Both of those programs were excellent!!  Incredible video in both.  I agree that the lightning videos were beautiful.  Might have to get the DVD's if available.  Both get A++

That was 'enlightning'.  Except for segment Catatumbo. The scientist thinks there's a corellation b/w the increase there and global warming.  Oh here we go. Not 1 min later they say because it's so spectacular, the location has been used as a lighthouse for centuries.

I actually chuckled out loud when he said that . I missed a majority of the show on tornado's, but recorded it for later.

Has anyone seen the other episodes?  The one about flooding was very interesting.

   I saw both "Hurricane" and "Flood".  They were both very good.

Wife and kids were out this afternoon and I finally got to watch Hurricane and Flood. All 4 shows in this series were good.
