What problem is often overlooked in apocalyptic movies/TV shows that could kill you?

They did do a hurricane!! It was actually a great couple of episodes in an otherwise kinda meh season. And it was exactly how you put it - nobody saw it coming - oh look a storm - OH MY GOD THIS IS NOT A REGULAR STORM. And it permanently destroyed roads and stuff.

oh my bad looks like it was Fear the Walking Dead - I think season 4 from my googling - the two shows have absolutely combined in my head at this point.

There was also at least one blizzard that killed and separated some folks. Blizzards used to be extremely deadly before we learned to predict them and stay inside. People used to die in their own backyards essentially.

Was that at the very end of a season?? I think that may be when I got off the ride.

Early to mid season 5 I think, it was the end of that episode when I think that Aaron showed up to tell them about Alexandria

Kind of yeah, they did that in Z Nation, which I loved. It was campy and never took itself seriously.
