Trivia
The novel was inspired by the 1980 Grand Island tornado outbreak which in turn was adapted for the film. The novel however is semi-fictionalized. See more »Goofs
When the family is "escaping" from the twin tornadoes toward the end of the movie, the trash can that flies onto the windshield has almost no momentum and it flies in a slight upward arc before lightly hitting the glass; it was clearly tossed from just off screen. See more »Quotes

Allot of people feel this movie is just a knock off of 'Twister', I would beg to differ. The real plot deals with the relationship between the teenage step son, and his step father. The storm is more the random element that brings them closer together.
I won't outline the plot, because it's already been done. However,I like this movie because it's more about the people, than the storm. So, it's not just another disaster flick. It has more heart then 'Twister'.
I like 'Twister' too, but in a different way. I try not to criticize something for being what it's not. So, I don't compare the two to each other. If you like movies that have heart, I think you'll like this one.
