''It Could Happen Tomorrow'' is a SpeculativeDocumentary series running on Creator/TheWeatherChannel (yes, The Weather Channel actually has some series programs), which looks at the effects of potential weather or other natural disasters (levee failures in Sacramento, another 1906-level earthquake in San Francisco, a tornado like the ones that struck the Midwest US during Spring 2011 striking Washington, D.C., etc.) The point of each episode is that these are not wild predictions of spectacular and unreasonable happenings, but reasonably predictable events for the area of the country they look at that we can realistically expect will happen and we should prepare for them; it might not happen for twenty years, or it could... well, you can guess the rest of the line!

* CosyCatastrophe: In a way, the potential tornado disasters - not for the people ''in'' the areas that could possibly be struck by them, but because even the very worst tornadoes have relatively small damage tracks and affected areas. Even if a tornado wiped out, say, much of Dallas, people as close as five to ten miles in ''all other directions than the tornado's path'' would be perfectly fine unless affected by flooding or straight-line winds. "Mile wide tornado" sounds and is scary - but it only causes damage for a mile or two wide for the track of the tornado, meaning that at any given point, there's undamaged resources and assistance immediately available.

* HarsherInHindsight: The original pilot was to detail what would happen if a Category 5 hurricane hit New Orleans. Then Katrina did just that while that ep was in production. The first episode changed to a category 3 hurricane hitting New York; though Sandy wasn't a Category 3, it certainly did cause quite a bit of destruction as the episode described.

** As soon as the resources can reach the problem areas. One notorious issue with tornadoes is debris blocking immediate assistance. Easier to rebuild yes, but assistance to those in the collapses takes a bit longer.
