Goofs:
Factual errors: The last twister was an F-5, which can hurl strongly built frame houses from foundations, flatten brick homes and severely damage steel reinforced concrete buildings. Yet after it hit the farm where Jo and Bill sought shelter in the shed, about one third of the barn is still intact and standing and the house has no more damage than several tiles torn from the roof. Also, the farm was in the worst possible place; on the right hand side of the tornado's vortex, where the wind speeds and forward motion of the tornado combine to cause the most damage. In reality, if a real F-5 had hit the farm, only the cement foundation would remain of both the barn and the house.

One of my favorite disaster movies that has the basic American elements to succeed: A dramatic blockbuster plot that everyone will enjoy or feel good for it's characters; spectacular f/x; a heroic rescue; and the occasional light humor to support the nerve tensing situations.
I enjoyed this very much when it came out on theaters and I can say it was a great pop-corn flick.
To these days, it hasn't aged very well mainly because of the kitsch plot and soap-opera acting but this movie is carried entirely but the f/x and spectacular sound.
This isn't a classic by any means but still it's a movie that should always be remembered as one of the greatest classic hits of the 90's.
