While I was able to comfortably watch this film I have to ask an important question, did the producers take the time to properly research tornadoes?
There's a reason why I ask this question, there are so many inaccuracies that it's distracting to me. The first tornado sequence shows the mother being carried away by the tornado but not the father who was literally next to her and the daughter who was in the car that was only a couple of feet away. When the third tornado which touches down next to the storm chaser vehicles it doesn't move them, it just throws bits of debris at them. Finally when the reporter says there's only one building left after the EF5 struck downtown you can not only see other buildings standing but you can see traffic in the background.
If you're watching the film for the drama and not the tornadoes then you can easily watch it, if you're watching for the depiction of tornadoes then you'll be disappointed.
