    The storm affects how the characters act because the storm turns people like Dean that have O blood type into zombie-like creatures that just want to kill others. Alex which is Dean’s brother doesn’t know his brother barely anymore because of how he acts towards others when he is exposed to the outside for too long.

    ne of the videos I watched is part of a documentary called “Eye of the Storm”.
