Storm Stories is an American non-fiction television series that airs on The Weather Channel (TWC) and Zone Reality. It is hosted and narrated by meteorologist and storm tracker Jim Cantore. Storm Stories showcases various types of severe weather, such as tornadoes, hurricanes, rain, floods, etc. Each episode features a famous severe storm, and survivors of it sharing their experiences. The program also features footage of the storm if it is available, but typically a re-enactment is used instead. The video of the storm is often shown while the survivors offer their accounts of it. Often, TWC would air a special week dedicated to one specific type of storm.
Storm Stories is produced by Towers Productions. A syndicated version of Storm Stories is distributed by Litton Entertainment to television stations around the country. The syndicated version includes co-branding opportunities for stations to place, within the program, their local weather anchors, who are usually shown discussing the topic of the episode, and current news.[1] Some syndicated episodes never aired on TWC. In 2009, NBCUniversal (which previously owned TWC until 2018) announced that it would begin handling sales of all of the national ads on Litton's syndicated shows, including Storm Stories.[2] After the show's cancellation in 2010, reruns continued to air until late 2015. On May 21, 2019, The Weather Channel announced a revival of the series as Storm Stories: The Next Chapter which debuted on August 18, 2019.[3]
