Goofs

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When giving his weather briefing in the Community Center, Bob references that one of the storms that touched down are at least a 5 on the Fujita scale. However, 5 is the highest the Fujita scale measures. See more »

Quotes

Arthur Jones: [the words "TORNADO WARNING" are flashing on the TV screen] What does that thing mean?
Dan Hatch: It basically means we're in deep trouble.
