In the span of a single day, the town of Silverton is ravaged by an unprecedented onslaught of tornadoes.

Was this supposed to be a movie??

Rented "thinking" this was a movie, is more a docuvie. Lets run around with cameras recording while other cameras are recording us.. The special effects were not so special, they were awful. The acting was awful. The plot was bad, pretty much you could have called the movie Twister II. Predictable predictable...Nothing original. So much time is spent justifying the presence of all these cameras that no one bothered to create a single character worth rooting for.Unfortunately, long before the storm has blown itself out, the plot has long since come apart. Its one of those movies that quickly move from Cinema to rental and then to netflix quickly afterwards.
