Fun Stuff

Goofs:
Factual errors: Just before the tornado hits Dan Hatch's house, two scenes showing the shingles on the roof lifting up also show the rain falling vertically. Winds strong enough to cause the roof tiles to lift up would violently blow the rain almost horizontally. more

Ok. Sorry, but those people who praised this movie with their comments must have seen a different movie, because this movie was sad. The acting was horrible, the actions the characters took were ludicrous, the special effects were the worst I have ever seen, and I mean EVER. It looks as tho all of the tornado scenes were filmed with the actors in one place, while the horrible SFX moved around them. They were just so horrible. It is a cheap rip off of bigger movies like Twister....and I keep asking myself...why do they even make movies like this? It's like going out with a camcorder and making a ten minute movie...it serves just as much purpose as this load of crap. By the way...when the dad is driving the truck...how on earth did his foot get "stuck" on the gas when he got knocked out? Impossible. That scene had to be the worst....fake. .05/10
