Hurricanes & Television

In preparation for Hurricane Irene which is steadily heading our way, I decided to try to come up with a list of television shows/episodes that have dealt with natural disasters. Feel free to add to the list in the comments.
1. The easiest one ever...that television show called 'Natural Disasters'.

2. There was that season 1 'Dawson's Creek' episode with a hurricane. The most memorable part, if I remember correctly, was when Pacey went to the home of his teacher who he was having an affair with to help her put up plywood shutters.

3. '30 Rock' did it in their 5th season episode entitled "Operation Righteous Cowboy Lightning". Jack decides to prepare news broadcasts for every natural disaster possible. Watch it, it's funny.

4. The 5th season premiere of 'Grey's Anatomy' dealt with a serious ice storm. It was high drama (but it's 'Greys' so what else is new!) and two hours long.

5. In the 5th season of 'Friends' there was a big snow storm (anyone else noticing a pattern with the snow?!) and Phoebe's wedding was disrupted.

6. Last season 'Bones' had a great episode where Booth and Bones got trapped in an elevator during a power outage caused by a gigantic snowstorm. I highly recommend you watch "The Blackout in the Blizzard".*

*I'm coming up with two new lists related to 'Bones', one is a list of my favorite/must-watch episodes, and the other is a list of episodes related to Booth and Brennan's opinions about pregnancy and babies. Get excited.
