Discovery Channel presents "Perfect Disaster"

#1 Postby HURAKAN » Fri Mar 10, 2006 7:20 pm

TV SCHEDULE:

MAR 19 2006
@ 09:00 PM Perfect Disaster Super Tornado

MAR 19 2006
@ 10:00 PM Perfect Disaster Solar Storm

MAR 20 2006
@ 01:00 AM Perfect Disaster Super Tornado

MAR 20 2006
@ 02:00 AM Perfect Disaster Solar Storm

MAR 26 2006
@ 09:00 PM Perfect Disaster Super Typhoon

MAR 27 2006
@ 01:00 AM Perfect Disaster Super Typhoon

SUPER TORNADO: At two miles wide with speeds of over 350 miles an hour a mega tornado would reduce downtown Dallas to a war zone within minutes. Scientists know it could happen - we show you how.

SOLAR STORM: Beneath the boiling surface of the sun lies an unseen force that could throw the modern world back to the Stone Age. Can we survive the ultimate Solar storm?

SUPER TYPHOON: The Pacific breeds the biggest and most powerful Hurricanes in the world. So far the 7 million inhabitants of Hong Kong have escaped a direct hit. But a slight change in weather changes everything- as the super typhoon sets its sights on the island.

Why do they keep singling out Dallas? We really don't get that many tornadoes here...

ya, they do...they did the same thing on that TWC it could happen tomorrow thing...I dunno...it doesnt seem as unlikely as we think...weve just been lucky last year...actually, we had a few tornados reported in Tarant, Dallas, and Ellis counties during a svere out break...I got lucky on that one because the cell heading towards me died out after spawning a tornado :D

I agree. The Hong Kong's typhoon and the solar storm is kind of a new topic, but the Dallas tornado is starting to become overaded.

The ultimate disaster would be for Yellowstone to fully erupt.

The Ultimate disaster would be all of the Cat-5 hurricanes coming back from the dead and striking the areas they hit before.


Yeah Right! :roll: :lol:

A super typhoon is a typhoon or hurricane in the WPAC that has reached winds at or above 150 mph. Each year the WPAC usually have around 4 to 5 super typhoon.

from what I hear...its a very tiny, but extremely intense hurricane type storm only about 15 miles in diameter, but reaches speeds of 500 mph. They occur when the water gets superheated from an undersea volcano or something like that...tell me if im wrong, but thats what Ive heard
