there are quite a few examples of episodes about man made destruction such as "time enough at last", but it seems more rare finding episodes dealing with natural disasters, could you fellow twilight zone residents help me figure out which episodes to pick out if you're set to watch something that revolves around natural disaster or weather theme in general, there is the obvious one "the midnight sun" which people say can be seen today as the global warming, then there is the episode "night call" where the storm causes the lady's phone connection to break (or receive another dimension... 😮), and the twilight zone episode "snow angel" only available on twilight zone radio dramas, if i'm forgetting any episodes please let me know. anyway about that "snow angel" episode, since its getting close to the holidays, i thought i'd mention if you want to enter a (new) twilight zone christmas experience in addition to "night of the meek" and "the changing of the guard", check out that "snow angel" (featured on the cd box the twilight zone radio dramas volume 28) episode. someone here mentioned "what you need" as a christmas episode, i never thought of it that way, i'll have to listen for it next time.

strings she played,
left my mind in outer space,
my heart covered in lipstick powder and paint,
shes like a science fiction i cant figure out,
and im a stranger on the planet where she rules my mind,
with such power it frights,
solid space suit charmed to mush,
buttons she pushed.

"Ring A Ding Girl": A storm brings Bunny Blake's plane down.

"Will The Real Please Stand Up": The bus passengers are waylaid at a café until such time as the county engineers determines the bridge they need to cross is no longer impassable because of the snowy weather.

"The Grave": At Pinto Syke's grave the wind blows Connie's duster over the earth Connie is about to punch with his knife. Upon punching the earth, and his duster, Connie gets up to leave ... but can't, seeing as his duster is now pinned down by his knife. Not stopping to check to determine what has halted him, but instead jumping to the conclusion Pinto has reached up out of his grave and grabbed him, he suffers a heart attack and dies.

My fav X-Mas episode of "TZ," hands down, is the most atypical of the lot: "Five Characters in Search of an Exit."
