Get ready for a high-stakes look at nature's most volatile weather. The new docuseries In the Eye of the Storm: Chasers makes its debut on the Discovery Channel this Sunday, May 17, at 10/9c.

From Spotters to First Responders

This intense series highlights twelve teams of expert storm chasers and certified weather spotters who venture into the heart of America’s Tornado Alley. Filmed entirely by the participants themselves, the show captures close, dangerous encounters with tornadoes. But as viewers will see in the series premiere, these chasers often find themselves pushed into an unexpected role: first responder. When a massive, shapeshifting tornado near Gary, South Dakota, pivots toward an occupied farmhouse, the chasers must abandon their observation duties to help rescue civilians in the path of the twister.
