Netflix - posted from Manchaca, TX
My child has been enjoying the 1997 Netflix series called, Raging Planet, by the Discovery Channel. It has 8 episodes (45 minutes each) and includes many weather episodes, like: flooding, sea storms, hurricanes, blizzards, tornadoes, lightening, and even avalanches and volcanos! I have him watch them while eating breakfast. By the time I'm set to start school, he is teaching me something new!
