Miscellaneous: If you've seen Category 6: Day Of Destruction, you'll notice that almost half of the disaster scenes that was on the news on the TV are taken from the scenes in that part of the series and put into this half (Category 7) of the series. Also, various videos of actual tornadoes and floods are put into this movie.

Quotes:

Penny Hall: No, Monty! You heard what you wanted to hear. Now you listen to me. You have committed a grave sin, and you will be punished because you were right about one thing, Monty, it is the End of Days. And your guilty. Of anger. Of envy. Of lust. Your only hope is to repent, Monty. Now you tell me where the children are and then, and only then, will I help you out of this hell you've made for yourself. And the worst thing about your hell, Monty, I won't be there with you.
[she lightly kisses him]
Penny Hall: And you won't be with me.

Movie Connections:

Edited from The Big One: The Great Los Angeles Earthquake (1990) (TV)

Totally waste of time

It is so unrealistic that it looks like a series of jokes. People are running around all the time when the wind is blowing. Hijackers care more about the children's safety then themselves. When they finally decided to kill them all, they hold their shots until good man shot them dead. Hurricane destroys everything but that shabby weather computer lab. Weather chase man using a SONY camera, shoot the hurricane from a big building's parking lot. But the most funny one, all computers black screened, because of the INTERNET connection is lost. I cannot hold my tears when I am laughing. Also the music makes me dizzy.
