Because there's just not enough scary disaster on TV (unless you count pretty much every episode of Maury), cable is following up Discovery Channel's just-concluded Shark Week with The Weather Channel's current Hurricane Week: Extreme Impact.
Even Brian Williams shows up, now that Weather is part of the NBC corporate family (alongside other formerly independent channels like Oxygen). In His Own Words: Brian Williams on Hurricane Katrina (Monday at 8:30 p.m. ET, repeats Saturday at 8 p.m. ET, Weather) spotlights the NBC anchor's personal on-site coverage of 2005's devastation, as Williams looks back on the epic experience.
Also in the eye of things: five new editions of Storm Stories, including Monday's "Ivan Dome Home" (Monday at 8 p.m. ET) and Tuesday's "Wilma in Cancun" (Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET) and "Mitch in Honduras" (Tuesday at 8:30 p.m. ET, all on Weather). Not to mention Weather Channel's current-season hurricane coverage on-air and online.
Weather's Hurricane Week continues through Aug. 15.
