Thanks, sweetheart.

Ready to start digging?

I guess so.

How can we plant sunflowers in the
spring and sunflowers in the fall?

Well, it's just nature's way.

For example, the almanac says that we
should plant roses in the spring and

tulips in the fall. And the almanac is
never wrong.

Dad says the almanac is nothing but make
-believe.

Hmm. Don't believe everything your
father says.

Does that mean I don't have to listen to
him anymore?

No, no. It just means that he knows a
little bit more about baseball and

football than he does about tulips.

And weather. He knows a lot about
weather. Oh, yeah.

He knows about weather. I've seen a lot
of weather.

Some nasty stuff.

The supercell is big.

Really big.

Wind shear's got to be close to 180
degrees.

Man, this is ugly.

Wind's picking up.

Flashes are increasing in frequency, and
we got tight circulation.

Gonna be go time. We calling it in?

Call it in!

Headed book.

Go ahead, book.

Hey, uh, Lincoln looks pretty bad over
there. What do you got?

Yeah, Jensen's confirming high
probability of vortex formation.

How long? How long?

Any minute. Any minute.

Tell him to issue a warning.

Issue a warning, Lincoln.

So, what's up?

Oh, we're gonna issue a warning.

Jensen and Booker called it in.

Offer confirmed visual?

Guys, you know the rules.

We don't issue warnings unless we have
visual confirmation.

This is the Weather Service, for Pete's
sakes. We're not a psychic shop.

Right here.

Come with Mom.

Mom, what is it? What's wrong?

Mom, that's a rat!

Then hold on to the chair. I'll hold on
tight.

Mom, it's me!

We can't go.

Go to the shelter, okay?

Not funneling here.

It's on the move.

Yeah, but where?

Where is

she going?

I don't know.

She had his book.

We just got a call that's a visual
confirmation.

Tornado touchdown.

Where? Tyler County.

Gotta go now.

It looks like a probable F5. Been down
for 10 minutes, maybe more.

What if it's 20?

Calls have been sketchy. It's hard to
say.

We could be tracking multiple twisters.

How long ago did the warning go on?

Three minutes after touchdown.

Three minutes after?

Pete.

Hitting Tyler.

of deadly twisters bore down on the
Midwest today, leaving a path of

and grief in their wake. Fierce
tornadoes ripped through the heartland,

power lines down.

Hospitals flooded with injured and dead,
and thousands of homes destroyed.

Disaster areas were declared in at least
three counties, and the National Guard

was on the scene. Federal Emergency
Management Agency officials were on

way to Oklahoma in the aftermath of the
storm. And the president was being

briefed on the damage to the state,
according to White House officials.

Emergency crews worked through the night
trying to free trapped victims from the

massive amounts of debris left in the
wake of today's crash.

Officials won't give word on the death
toll yet, but it's safe to say that this

could easily be the worst devastation
ever wrought by nature's devil winds.

After a second straight day of disaster
recovery, eyewitness accounts are

starting to come in.

I saw big black clouds at the Tyler
residence.

I started seeing everything flying
around. I got into the bathtub and put a

hamper over my head so glass wouldn't
fly into my eyes. And within a minute,

was whipped in straight out.

And while this lucky resident is glad to
be alive, many other victims of the

disaster were not as fortunate.

With the death toll now at 134, local
emergency crews pray the number doesn't

rise any further. But the real question
for Tyler residents... It's how can they

get back to their normal lives after so
much has been taken away.

Whatever happened this spring?

It's cold.

It's cold, no?

Hello, Pete?

You know, sometimes I feel it's like
talking to a brick wall with you.

I'm sorry, Lou. We'll arrange this
somewhere else.

What were you saying?

I was having a conversation.

I said, it's cold.

Now you answer.

A low -pressure front coming down from
Canada connecting with the jet stream.

It's unusual for this time of year, but
it's not hard enough.

That's a conversation?

That's a weather report.

Let me ask you something.

If I said I was hungry, would you give
me the chemical makeup of a

Well, what do you want from me, Lou?
Weather's something I know about, you

All right, I'm gonna get a cup of
coffee. You want anything?

Yes, please.

Next lane, 117, if you pick up a 459
suspect that is southbound, um, Grand,

passing 1600 block.

Send the black and white to pick up
Lewis, corner of Grand and L.

What's the technology?

Sound on Broadway.

Okay, yeah.

Come back slowly toward me.

Coming.

Coming.

All right. All right, slowly.

You got any weapons on you? No, no, no.
How come I don't believe you?

Okay, okay.

Anything you say can and will be used
against you in a court of law.

If you need an attorney, one will be
appointed to you. Do you understand what

I'm saying?

Huh? Hey.

What are you thinking, Eric?

Fight, fight, fight. All the time you
gotta fight.

Seemed like a good idea at the time.

Why'd you leave me?

You came barreling past me, Lou.

I didn't have a choice.

Oh, I thought it was something I said.

You never stop talking.

I hate it. I hate it when I miss a good
chase all day long. It's as boring as

lawn bowling. And then I get a good
chance at some blood pumping action.

Blood pumping?

Blood pumping.

And what does that teach you?

Next time we hit a drive -thru.

Powerful lesson indeed.

Yeah,

Peter, this is Mike at the service
department.

You're okay on the front, but you're
gonna need rear brakes and rotors, so

get you a quote as quick as I can.

Yeah, Peter, it's Mike again.

You're looking at $549 for the rears.

I'm done changing the...

Hey, Gundy, it's Jensen.

Is the captain around?

He's gone for the day.

You need me to page him?

No, no, no.

You know all the vacation time he's been
telling me to take?

Yeah?

I'm taking it.

Thanks.

Anybody home?

So you think you can just come waltzing
in here like you own the place?

What was that for?

For forgetting your mother -in -law's
birthday.

When was it? Last Tuesday.

You know what?

I didn't forget. Oh, maybe better if you
did. Who wants to be reminded they're

getting old anyway?

Go on, open it up.

No, I'm going to open it by myself.

I know you, Peter Jensen. You probably
make me cry.

Welcome back.

I was just afraid I wouldn't be able to
get the time off.

Well, I'm glad you did.

You're staying here with us? No, I got a
room at the motel.

Nonsense. I don't want to crowd you
girls.

Carol will be surprised that you're
here.

You didn't tell her I was coming?

She's in Tulsa.

What is she doing there?

She's attending some sort of biochemical
conference with one of her colleagues

from the EDAC.

She'll be back tomorrow.

The EDAC?

Environmental Disease and Control, where
she's been interning for the past six

months. If you paid more attention,
you'd know that.

She didn't tell me.

Did you ask?

No.

Well, if you're hungry, there's some
fried chicken in the fridge.

Why don't you let me take you out for a
nice dinner?

I'd love to. I can't. Not tonight.

I've got my Mahjong game.

Come back tomorrow around 7, and I'll
whip you up some spatula.

Have a good time.

Simple geometry.

Plot the angle of deflection.

Works almost every time.

Only Buck says he can't do that again.

Well,

well. Look who the cat dragged in.
Thought I might find you here. Pete, how

heck are you?

Pretty good, thanks.

Let me buy you a beer.

With my money. How generous.

When did you get his town?

This afternoon.

What's the occasion?

Kara's graduation.

No.

I can't believe it.

Just like yesterday, she was learning to
walk. Now she's graduating college and

working at the EDA. Thanks.

Wow.

Guess she got her mother's brains as
well as her good luck.

I still remember the night Kara was
born.

You were so anxious to get to the
hospital, you grabbed a bag with a

weather station in it instead of the one
with Mary's clothes.

I'll never forget the look on that
nurse's face when she pulled out the

-long thermometer.

I told her it was for external use only.

How about you, what have you been up to?

Same old, same old. Chasing storms,
lecturing in the off -season.

How about you? You still chasing bad
guys?

Catching them. Big difference.

For more on this story, let's go to
Julia Merrow, live from Tyler.

Thank you, Jess.

We're here in the town of Tyler.

This Thursday will be ten years to the
day in which the worst set of twisters

U .S. history bore down on this
community.

The twisters cut a 20 -mile path of
destruction as they weave their way

central Oklahoma, leaving death and
havoc in their wake.

This new environmental disease and
control center replaced only one of many

buildings destroyed by the very same
winds that killed 128 people and caused

over $400 million in damage.

For the rest of this week, I will be
bringing you a series of... Special

reports.

Exploring the events of that terrible
day.

Let's get out of this dump.

We can head back to my place, round up a
couple of the guys, get a game going.

It's been a long day.

I think I'm just going to hit the sack.

Come by the office tomorrow. We'll grab
some lunch, catch up.

Tomorrow sounds great.

Thanks for the beer. All right.

God bless you.

to some flowers.

I looked for tulips. I know they're your
favorite, but they didn't have them.

I know I don't come to visit as much as
I should or even as much as I want to,

but I think about you every day.

Now the day goes by that I don't think
about us.

I love you.

I miss you.

Welcome back.

Kara.

How have you been?

Fine.

You look terrific.

Oklahoma really agrees with you.

Why wouldn't it?

Yeah, your mother always looked at you,
too.

It's a shame you never felt the same
way.

I'm actually amazed to see you here.

Think I'd miss your graduation?

I think you'd find any excuse not to
come back.

Kara, that's not fair.

It's been four years, but hey, who's
counting?

Here, this is all about you, nothing
else.

I gotta go.

She's a real beauty. Name's Casey.

I've been tracking her for a week now.

Warning, she's been upgraded to tropical
storm.

Great, great.

Go eat.

Come on, Pete.

You're letting breathing.

You used to eat crayons through high
school. Things change.

I can't believe you brought that up.

Well, we're not going.

We're not going where?

We're not going for lunch. Something
better's coming.

What could possibly be better than
Rose's Chili Burgers and Fries? Besides,

we're not going.

That's not a free lunch. See, things do
change.

Hurricane Hunter's leaving in 90
minutes.

So? She's heading straight for that
storm. I'm asked to procure two seats.

I was hoping you might join me.

You're going up, huh?

No, I'm just going to the airport to
watch it take off.

Of course I'm going up. Pete, I've been
going on these flights for eight years.

It's part of my life now.

But if this weather game's no longer
yours, I understand.

Two seats, huh?

On the aisle, very comfy.

Peanuts?

Organic.

Okay, weather recon 1244.

Hurricane Hunter visibility is 5 miles.

Wind is out of the northwest at 5 knots.

Going on the runway and you are clear to
take off.

A little different

from your patrol car, no?

Yeah, the winds gave it away.

You know what I mean.

Yeah, I know what you mean.

It's pretty exciting. You can always
imagine going up on one of these.

Yeah, try not to imagine going down.

We've only lost 130 or so years of
operation.

Great track record, considering where we
fly.

It ain't exactly Albuquerque.

What do you think of all this equipment?

It's very impressive.

Nothing but state -of -the -art. You can
track a sneeze from a monk in Shanghai.

You come up with that analogy? Are there
books on these things?

No, that one's all me.

It's going to be a lot worse than a
sneeze.

So you're THE Pete Jensen?

Yes, but I don't know what this clown
over here told you, but don't believe a

word of it. Don't worry, I already
learned not to trust him.

Guys, I'm right here.

Bob was telling me that you used to
chase with him back in the day.

Bob used to chase with me back in the
day.

Did he have that beat -up old van back
then? Hey, that van is a classic.

We have an emotional tie, you know, old
Edmund and I. We've been through a lot

together. A lot of transmissions.

Bob was telling me about your IC theory.

Oh, inter -cloud lightning?

There's a throwback, huh?

What's the correlation?

Well, the theory goes, before a twister
forms, lightning flashes between clouds

increase 100 volt.

Does it work?

It's always been difficult to test.

Most intercloud lightning can only be
seen from space, so until we quadruple

number of weather satellites, it's going
to be pretty hard to test the theory.

Heads up, gentlemen. Weather systems
moving north, northeast, and gaining

Their heads are extending to about 25
,000 feet.

I've seen a very well -defined
circulation in those clouds.

What's the eyewall wind speed reading?

70 to 75 miles an hour. We were reading
55 a few hours ago.

It's got to be the surface temp.

Warm water from the Gulf is starting to
fuel her.

Yeah, she's really going fast.

Spiral arms are starting to pick up as
well. What are you thinking, Pete?

That little pressure front from the
north?

It's just sitting there.

It's waiting.

Kind of like 10 years ago.

in for a bit of a rough ride, guys.
Better strap in.

Well, we didn't have that much.

Season three, huh?

Listen to that hail.

This is how the golf balls.

Need those data sheets.

You're quiet, Pete.

What's on your mind?

What's the deal with you and Coles?

What do you mean?

I don't know. You two are just too
close.

Close?

Close. You know, like, interested?

What are you talking about?

Forget it. You don't want to talk about
it? We won't talk about it.

All right. We had a date.

Yeah? Yeah. Five years ago.

Oh, must have gone well, huh? Hey, I
still get invited on the flights, don't

Yeah, by the way, that was incredible.

I think that made my year, didn't it?

Thought you'd enjoy that.

Tell you what, Margaret's probably
cooking up a storm right now, and I

you lunch, so why don't we make a
dinner? No, I can't. I've got to get

the office.

Besides, I'll be letting you off cheap.

You sure you don't want to come?

Yeah, Lincoln's going to need all the
recon from the flight data.

Don't just go up there for fun, you
know.

All right, well, just do yourself a
favor and keep an eye on that low

front. I know, I know.

I've managed a few years without you.

Long, boring, painful years.

What are you doing here?

Your grandmother invited me for dinner.

Here? Yeah. Where else? For tonight?

There must be some kind of mistake. She
never told me. I must have forgotten to

tell you.

I can't stay.

You could five minutes ago.

I've got to go. No, I don't have to
stay. I'm not even hungry. Here, you

enjoy this. I'll see you later. You're
not going anywhere.

And neither are you, young lady.

I'm still your grandmother.

home cook for you like this.

This sure is fantastic wine.

Really goes well with the chicken,
doesn't it, Carol?

I don't drink white.

So what do you do at the EDAC?

Research. Well, what kind?

She tracked viruses and bacteria.

Oh.

From this region of the country.

Isn't that right, Kara?

That's right, Grandma.

You working on anything excited?

Yeah.

You like what you're doing?

Of course I do. I studied four years for
this.

Kara, have you told your father about
John?

Grandma.

You haven't. Who's John, boyfriend?

He's the doctor at EDAC.

He's assistant director of research.

Very impressive.

You guys been seeing each other a while?

About a year.

Sounds pretty serious.

You know, long -distance relationships
are hard to sustain.

What are you going to do when you move
back to Portland?

I'm not moving back.

I accepted a staff position at the ADAC.

Without discussing this with me?

There's nothing to discuss. I thought it
was a great opportunity and I didn't

want to pass it up.

Tara, these are important decisions
you're making. You should consult me.

I wasn't consulted when we moved to
Portland. You never considered how I

It was always about you and your
inability to deal with Mom's death.

you're talking to your father.

I know who I'm talking to.

We moved to Portland because it was the
best thing for us to do at the time. No,

it was the best thing for you, and not
moving back to Portland is the best

for me.

from the dirt?

News reporting has a career?

Julia, I just don't know how you do it.

Not seriously. What's wrong?

Just I keep thinking about what it must
be like, you know?

Final minutes, being a victim.

The wrath of God bearing down on you.
Your life, your family, everything you

own. And just gone in an instant.

See, Jerry?

That is exactly why you are going to be
a great journalist.

Because, I mean, we could easily zip in
and out totally unscathed by these

stories.

But you put yourself in those people's
shoes.

And you can't learn that.

And that, Jules, is why we're headed to
a major market within a year.

That's right.

Drink to that. Drink to that.

That was good work out there today,
Jerry.

Is that a compliment?

Oh, my.

I think it was.

So, what's on tap for tomorrow?

Oh, I've been thinking about that.

Okay, so we're covering a tornado story
in the middle of Oklahoma.

These people deal with this kind of
thing all the time. It's like an

occurrence for them.

Well, I've been doing some asking around
myself, and it appears there's a guy

named Bob Booker who's the authority on
that.

Now, not only is he a homegrown storm
chaser, but he was also on the field

they hit.

What?

My little boy's all grown up.

Will you shut up?

No, no, I need a moment.

No, really.

That took initiative.

It involved research. I'm impressed.

So where are we going to find this Mr.
Booker?

His home address.

His work address.

And his cell phone number.

Would you quit?

What is wrong with you? Usually you
laugh at my jokes.

Usually they're funnier.

Hey, I might look like I'm made out of
rock, but when I get cut, I bleed, okay?

destroyed and the lives of 50 people
were taken when the tyler twister struck

the plans to rebuild were scrapped when
an economic downturn gave way to a new

government contract and a new hope that
hope however came in the form of this

disease control center facility this is
where diseases are quarantined analyzed

and tested so questions remain while the
facility is a significant boost for

tyler's slow growing economy is it in
fact safe for tyler's future

Standing with me is the EDAC site
director, Dr. Raymond Ardmore.

Dr. Ardmore, I guess the real question
would be, how wise was it to build this

facility smack in the middle of Tornado
Alley?

Well, this building poses absolutely no
threat of being compromised, even in the

most violent of storms, and the public,
Miss Merrow, can be 100 % sure of that.

I love it when you wear latex in the
morning.

You're late.

Yeah, but I'm the boss. I'm allowed.
It's in my contract.

What are you diligently studying so
early in the morning?

Nothing.

And she's testy.

I'm sorry.

That just come in?

Yeah, the new strain of bacteria that
killed the livestock in Garvin County.

Well, be careful with that stuff.

We got a big date tonight. I don't want
to catch anything.

But you.

So Ardmore's getting interviewed
outside.

Yeah, I saw it coming in.

Sounds like the press are at his throat
again. They are never going to leave him

alone about this place.

Well, I think they might have a good
reason.

What are you talking about?

Well, an electrical fire in the new
building in Sussex killed three people.

This building's contractor is being
indicted for safety code violations

Do you think this place is unsafe?

Well, I hope not.

You going to the vault?

Yeah, Ardmore has a finance meeting with
the oversight committee tomorrow

afternoon. He wants an inventory of
plasmodium samples.

Can I come with you?

Might be kind of sexy, the two of us
alone down there in a room full of

watching.

Sounds tempting, but it's too dangerous.

We might excite the spores.

Okay, but it's your loss.

Me and the spores.

Casey's feeder bands are pumping some
nasty stuff up there.

It's very unstable.

If that low -pressure center over South
Dakota drops any further... We could

have a real disaster on our hands.
Barometric pressure just dropped five

millibars, and the wind speed's up to 50
knots and climbing.

Regional Weather Service?

Yeah, this is Booker. Let me speak with
Dave Lincoln, please.

Okay. Hey, Lincoln. It's me, Book.

Got another five -millibar drop. And the
wind speeds are climbing.

Yeah, I'm headed... Want to go handheld
or sticks?

I don't care. Just hurry up.

Hi.

Hi, I'm Julia Marrow from KPBG News. I
was looking for Dr. Booker. Is that you?

No, in the back.

Thanks.

Anytime.

Excuse me, Dr. Booker? Hey. Hi, I'm
doing a 10th anniversary piece on the

Twisters, and I was just wondering if I
could get your expert opinion.

You can put this on the news?

Oh, yeah, that would be the plan, if you
don't mind.

That would be great, but unfortunately,
we're just about to go.

Could you call the office?

We'll do lunch.

We'll do lunch?

Yeah, that's how media types tell.

Well,

you can always look into the story at
Garvin County.

Who? You know, the family that lost all
their livestock in that big storm a

couple years ago.

Cows, Jerry?

Yeah, cows. What's wrong with that? It's
a good story. Oh, right.

As soon as I think you're having a
breakthrough, you bring me cows.

Well, they're big in India.

That's funny, Jerry. That's funny,
especially since we're in Oklahoma.

Now, come on. Let's go see where they're
going.

Jules, what kind of trouble are you
going to get us into now?

Oh, as much as humanly possible, Jer.

Go.

And Tyler Weather Center is putting out
a severe weather watch for Tyler County

with strong possibility of gale force
winds and hail is likely in this area

afternoon. Updated weather every half
hour.

Call the office. We'll do lunch. Which
reminds me, you owe me a lunch.

I knew you wouldn't forget about that. I
have a memory like a goat.

You mean an elephant.

What?

This isn't right.

We're heading the wrong direction.

The storm front's over there.

Yeah, but see the way the mid -level
winds are pushing the anvil cloud?

Hmm.

You sure?

I know my cloud.

I've got a memory like a goat.

We need to head east and get on the
other side of that squall line.

Three dot say.

Still showing denser cell activity
further to the eagle.

Squall line's got to be 40 ,000 feet.

Strike with cloud to cloud.

Tell me you don't miss this.

We call it in?

I don't know.

Not yet.

The more time we give those people, the
better their chances.

I'm probably wrong.

That's a load of bull, and you know it.

Pete, what happened ten years ago was a
terrible fluke.

It was not your fault, okay?

We should make that call.

Link, Book is on three.

Hey, Book, what's up?

There's still activity approximately 60
miles northeast of Hughes County.

Rain curtain about six to eight miles
long with some serious downdrafts. North

of Hughes County.

Northeast.

We don't show any storm activity in that
area.

Just some dense clouds.

Have you checked your Doppler?

I didn't use radar. I got Pete Jensen
next to me.

Pete Jensen.

What's he doing here?

Taking a ride down memory lane. Now, how
about that warning?

I can't order a warning until we have
confirmed touchdown. You know that.

I'll have to talk to Chase.

Yeah, you do that.

Let's talk to Chase.

We got our answer.

Something's got that promotion. He lost
his nerve.

We'll find him.

Head for that storm front right there.

Where? Right, right here.

Let's get the dock. We're up and
running. It's going to be go time.

Computer to go.

I'll set here.

The size of that wall cloud got to be 20
miles wide.

Set it this way.

Doppler showing strong wind rotation.

Any hook echoes?

Not yet.

Pete, better look at this.

Pressure release.

Drop it back.

There's our hook echo.

That's all we need.

Hey, that's not such a good idea. What
are you doing here? Same thing as you. I

don't think so. Get that antenna down
before you get us all killed. Oh, we

can't. We've got a live beep. Whoa!

Hey, look at that!

Bottle cloud!

She's down.

There's the debris cloud.

We're out of time.

Caught out in the open during the
twister, and he covers better than none.

I don't care what that reporter
believes. There is nothing wrong with

structure of this building.

Carter pulled this structural
engineering report. This site's not

Well, so the roof's a little high, or
there's an electrical outlet a

too close to a water pipe. Who really
cares?

I do. You should, too. Look, this is a
ridiculous charge brought on by a bunch

of tree -huggers who want their vaccines
and their prescription drugs just as

long as they're not tested in their own
backyard.

I think that's a little harsh, Raymond.
I'm not disputing the need for the

Senate, but what if we pose a threat to
the community?

I'm not going to bury my head in the
sand on this. This is a serious issue.

No.

This is nonsense and you are
overreacting.

Overreacting? This building's
compromised. The infectious diseases

released will have a devastating effect.

This facility is important to Tyler.
It's good for its economy and it's good

its future. And even if this building
isn't 100%, the vault certainly is.

Do you hear yourself? Do you know what
you sound like?

Do you know what our senator sounds
like?

No, of course you don't. You haven't
been here long enough.

So let me tell you.

If he even thinks that this could
jeopardize his reelection, he will shut

place down, put us all out of work, and
that includes you. How about killing

half the county? How's that going to
affect his reelection?

I'm not going to have you start an all
-out panic over nothing.

I don't need people picketing on our
doorstep, and I certainly don't want to

any more news cameras around here. Is
that understood?

It's the right thing to do, regardless
of the consequences.

You want to talk consequences?

Then think about this.

When nothing happens, nothing, and this
building is still destroyed, Not because

of some storm or some code violation,
but because of lack of funding.

When hundreds of people lose their jobs
and this entire town is in the throes of

depression. And why?

Because somebody overreacted.

You got to pat yourself on the back
then, Dr. Tedesco.

Personally, I couldn't live with myself.

Now, I have a very important meeting
with the grant board tomorrow afternoon,

I prefer to hear nothing more about
this. Is that understood?

Nothing is going to stop this facility
getting the funding it needs.

Not some out -of -date report, and
certainly not a bit of bad weather.

You know, the storm's only going to
intensify.

I know.

How long do you think?

72 hours, maybe less.

I was afraid.

It's been real good having you back
here.

Yeah, I'd be lying if I didn't say I
missed it.

What are you doing, Pete?

Into your...

Do you really love it in Portland?

I don't know.

Because I got to tell you, some people
are just meant to be doing certain

things. You know, it's in their
constitutional makeup. And, oh, you

doing that.

Too bad professional baseball wasn't in
my makeup.

Now, why am I taking you back to that
hospital?

I just want to check on those two
reporters, make sure they're okay. You

check on Julia Merrill, make sure she's
doing okay. Don't be absurd.

No, it's good, Pete.

I saw how you were looking at it.

You two seem close.

Close? Yeah, close.

Interested.

Hey.

You're here.

Yeah, how's your cameraman doing?

Jerry. Yeah, Jerry. He had some first
-degree burns.

Minor cuts and bruises.

Could have been worse.

Yeah. Could have been a lot worse.

Yeah.

It was really stupid of us.

I put your life and his life in danger,
and I'm just so sorry.

Gotta go where the story goes.

Nature of your business, right?

Yeah, well, it doesn't make it any less
stupid.

I'm trying to throw you a rope here, and
you just keep grabbing the anchor.

You hungry?

Always.

Well,

I've been in it for two years. I'm
trying to make it into a major market,

it's not easy.

There's so many people trying to get
into this business, it's crazy.

I can imagine.

What?

I did a little research.

Yeah?

So, Why'd you become a cop?

Because the way I hear it, you were like
Mr.

Tornado Authority around here.

Things change.

Kind of a big change, don't you think?

I lost my wife in a tornado.

I know.

I'm sorry.

I was out chasing a nasty storm front. I
just didn't see it coming.

But the tornado?

Tornadoes are unpredictable.

Oh, you can't blame yourself for that.
Oh, I do blame myself.

Instead of going home and taking care of
my wife and my daughter, I was out in

the field.

You see, back then, I believed in my
arrogance that there was a rhyme and a

reason to all this, that there was some
type of behavioral pattern that I could

decipher and... I don't know, just make
these storms predictable.

But I didn't think that storm would head
where it did.

So you don't believe that there's a
decipherable pattern anymore?

No. And it doesn't matter because I'm
not in the weather business anymore.

That's why you were in the field today.

Well.

So do you find being a cop rewarding?

Detective.

Well, let's just say that after Mary
died, I decided to devote my life to

that were just a little bit more
obtainable.

Just as dangerous.

Yeah, I suppose.

You ever been shot?

Yeah.

Really? Where?

Kind of personal, actually.

Oh, come on, you can tell me.

In the, um... In the gluteus.

Oh, come on.

You want to see?

Not here.

Ah, you do want to see, though.

Oh, gosh.

Oh, no.

You ever get any decent food out of this
fridge?

Uh, decent? No. You know, chips, salsa,
sometimes a still muffin.

Stay away from the donuts, man.

What's wrong with the donuts?

Just ain't right.

Well, I like the donut, okay?

Okay.

Just clocked right out. Yeah, just came
in.

Oh, boy.

Justin was right.

He couldn't track East.

She's coming here.

It's gonna be one heck of a morning.

Yeah, yeah. What's up?

It's Casey. She's taking a northern
track up through central Texas.

Did you call Lincoln about this?

He's the one who told me.

I'm picking you up. She'll be there in
20 minutes.

Hey, listen.

Meet me outside of Rosa's.

I'll pick us up a couple of coffees, all
right? Make it large, okay, buddy?

None of that cream and sugar either. You
got me?

Don't worry.

See you soon.

Bye.

me to wake you up oh it's okay what are
you doing i was just watching the clouds

oh if my six -year -old nephew said that
it would be okay but you saying that it

brings on a whole new meaning that was
booker he said he's gonna be

here in 20 minutes to pick me up but
that means we have 10.

It's my gunshot wound.

But, Nicola, take a look at this.

Yeah, and?

Just thought you should see it.

It's okay. She's headed north.

What do the computer projections say?

Holding to their original forecast.

Then why are we having this
conversation?

This is exactly what Jensen predicted.

Where's the cold from?

South Central Wyoming, parts of western
Nebraska, southern Iowa.

When was the last time it moved?

It's been stationary for a while.

If Jensen's right about this and these
two systems collide, it could be a major

disaster. Jensen has been out of the
weather business for more than ten years

now. He doesn't know what he's talking
about.

I think he's right about this.

Give me a break. We can take a look
around.

We are surrounded by the most intricate
and sensitive weather monitoring

equipment that money can buy.

If any of it tells us that we have to be
concerned, then we will be concerned.

Don't you think that's a bit more
reasonable than gut hunches? You know,

Good

morning. Gracias, compadre.

What's this?

Lincoln emailed those before I left.

I knew it.

Yeah, you were right.

Casey's pulling that cold front straight
down.

Lincoln say he's gonna issue a watch?
Yeah, no problem issuing watches, you

that. It's the warnings that Jason has
such a hard time with.

What's the matter with you?

You smell of perfume.

Why, my deodorant.

What about the marks all over your neck?
That the deodorant, too?

These are nothing. These are mosquito
bites. No tells a dump.

Like a swamp in there.

I believe they're eating those
mosquitoes right now.

And it's heading our way. What should we
do?

Hi. Hey.

I'm coming with you.

Julia, these indications are correct.

It's not going to be pretty out there,
honey.

It's what I live for. It's my job.

I didn't get you any coffee.

Oh, that's okay. I'll have yours.

Morning.

Where are we headed?

Let's stop at Margaret's and we'll head
south to 78.

This is not good.

Not good at all.

So, have you given it any more thought?

To what?

Moving back.

Who's your father, Karen?

Well, I'm not moving back.

I couldn't get out of that depressing
little apartment soon enough.

Honey, I'm not going to be around
forever.

And when I'm gone, your father is the
only family that you've got. And you're

going to need him, and he's going to
need you.

I don't need him.

Kara, you've got to resolve things with
your father.

Margaret!

In here.

Good, I'm glad you're still here.

Why, what is it?

Hurricane Casey's backtracked. She said
it this way.

Hurricanes don't make it up here. By the
time it does, it'll be some wind and

rain. It's no big deal. It's not the
hurricane that I'm worried about. It's

weather it'll generate.

I don't want you going to work today.
Are you kidding me? I have to go.

Dr. Ardmore has an important meeting
before the ground board this afternoon,

I still haven't prepared for it. Kara,
this is a serious situation.

I want you to stay here today. What? Are
you grounding me? No, I'm not grounding

you. You know what? If I hear an alert,
then I'll come home.

Now, if you'll please excuse me, I'm
going to be late.

See you later, girl.

Squall line's already defined over
there, and the winds are picking up out

the southeast.

Is that how it starts?

It's starting all right, and it's going
to get a lot worse before it's over.

Stop right up here.

I'm going to fire up the Doppler books.
You grab the portable.

You read my mind.

That's one of the largest supercells
I've ever seen.

I guess the anvil clouds top off at
around 40 ,000 feet. Is that about

Unbelievable. There were no signs of it
forming an hour ago.

Squall line is massive. That's got to be
several miles across.

It's moving fast.

What's the cold front at? Still
stationary.

No, it's not.

It's being pulled down.

Is that bad?

Very.

My computer isn't reading it.

You thinking what I'm thinking?

Thank you.

Nicholas, how can I help you?

Raymond, I just wanted you to be aware
there's a chance of some pretty serious

weather headed your way.

Oh, yes. When?

By early this afternoon, but the latest
possibly sooner.

I know you have an important meeting, so
I won't order an evac unless absolutely

necessary. Well, that would be useful. I
appreciate it.

May I ask why the sudden interest?

I was hoping you might have a
conversation with the senator about that

in Washington.

Of course.

One good turn deserves another, right?

Right.

Thanks, Raymond.

All right. Talk to you later. Bye.

Strange fellow.

Come on, guys.

Now, this is our main office where our
brilliant scientists and technicians

write down their reports on research
that they do in the laboratory.

Yeah. We do research and write essays,
too.

We did this little experiment where we
put a carpenter's nail inside a bottle

soda pop.

After several days, the nail began to
dissolve.

So you guys learned to avoid drinking
too much soda pop, right? Mm -hmm.

Our scientists experiment and study
samples of bacteria, which was a fancy

for germs.

And we study microscopic organisms,
which is another fancy term for teeny

living things.

Is she a scientist?

Well, yes. In fact, that's Kara Jensen.

She's one of our best scientists.

Okay, kids.

Who wants to go see something really
gross?

Come on.

Strong updrafts. Well -defined wall
cloud.

Yeah, but we're on the wrong side of the
storm. We're getting accurate readings.

The rain current's between us and the
wall cloud.

What does that mean?

You're about to see the finger of God.

Which finger?

Guess. Hey, look at that.

Here she comes.

Touchdown. Six points. Time?

Confirm funnel cloud at 1240 p .m.

It's actually quite beautiful.

Where's she headed?

Here's a Tyler County. I wouldn't want
to be in either one.

Got to get out of here.

Come on.

Lincoln. Lincoln, we have confirmed
funnel about 30 miles outside of Tyler.

It appears to be heading your way. I
suggest you issue a warning.

Stay on the line, Pete.

We need to find out what's happening out
there.

Okay, we've got pretty good circulation
going about 60 miles south of Tyler.

Jensen, what's the point on?

Get me a visual, something I can show
Chasen.

Pete, I've got to call you back.

Looks like fifth issue warning for
Hughes and Tyler County.

Are we sure about this?

I don't know.

Who are you sending that morning?

Hughes and Tyler County.

We have confirmation of a tornado
touchdown 30 miles due south.

30 miles south?

That's not even in this county.

It'll never last long enough to get
here.

Look, I don't want any warnings until we
have a viable threat.

Understood?

Yeah.

We're not going to cry wolf.

Dr. Oatmore.

Morning, morning. How are you?

Let's get inside out of this wind. It's
getting windy.

There you go.

Just follow me inside.

And this way, please.

Follow me.

Well,

this, of course, is our main lab, where
our staff of biologists and scientists

examine, classify, and report on
hundreds of bacterial and viral strains

year. Now, if you'd like to follow me to
the conference room, we have a

presentation set up for you. This way.

Yes, Dad?

Tell me about the clouds. What are they
doing?

What?

Look at the clouds. What are they doing?

They are really moving.

Swirling. It's pretty intense.

Did the alarms go off?

No.

All right, Carrie, you need to get out
of there.

Listen to me. There's a tornado coming.

I'm on my way. Evacuate the building
now.

I'll take care of it.

Margaret? She's not answering.

If I know the case, I could issue a
warning to the twisters on top of his

I could do it. I just need to get on the
air.

Hey, John, how are you? Soup, we've got
tuna fish sandwiches, salmon sandwiches.

I think we even have bologna sandwiches.
John.

John, I need to talk to you.

Okay, so will you give me one second,
please?

What's up?

We need to get the kids out of here.
What do you mean?

There's going to be a... Tyler's going
to get hit with a twister, a big one.

What? You're kidding. We don't have much
time.

If you want me to warn the others...
Kids,

unfortunately, the field trip is over.
We'll do another one really soon, okay?

promise. I'll make it up to you.

Follow me. We've got to get you to a
shelter.

Let's go.

Wouldn't it be safer if we kept the kids
here?

It's not safer. Trust me.

Get the kids in their seats.

Come on, kids.

Hurry up.

Tell the driver to take Cooper and
Fending Road to the shelter on Milner

That's the closest one.

Yeah, John, do it.

safely assume that the next three fiscal
years will be... Tornado's coming. We

need to get to safety.

We need to move now.

Yes, well, I'm sure we'll all be safe
enough inside here, but thank you for

concern. This building could go.

This dorm could release thousands of
infectious biological strains.

Surely you realize the potentially
devastating consequences for this area.

Look, I assure you this building is one
of the safest in the area. There's no

cause for alarm, really.

Sorry the sales pitch is over, Doctor.
This place isn't built to code, and you

know it.

I don't care if you have a death wish,
but why don't we spare the others?

I suggest that you leave the building.

Now!

You better be right.

The vault.

Oh, my gosh.

I've got to put the samples in the
vault.

Well, you can't do it on your own.

I can't get care of herself.

Maybe she's already left.

This is John.

Yes?

Oh, my gosh.

The school teacher just called. Little
Samantha didn't get on the school bus.

If you look for Samantha, I'll take the
sample from the office.

Hey, hey!

I'm looking for Carrie Johnson. Do you
know who she is?

Little girl that lost summer in the
building. She went to find her.

What do you do? You gotta get out of
here. There's a tornado coming. I'm

get these down to the vault. Carrie went
that way.

I'll catch up to you.

Alright.

Yeah, you're right. Come on.

I was running about a half mile down
from the main entrance.

What, the ball's home?

Better.

Are you okay?

I want to go home.

The whole block looks untouched. I bet
she's okay.

Grandma!

Oh, Grandma!

Oh.

I was so worried about you two.

Thank goodness you're okay.

I haven't seen those two smile together
in a long, long time.

Come on, then.

Almost ten years to the day, on the
anniversary of the worst twister

U .S. history, disaster has once again
struck America's heartland.

The worst of which absolutely demolished
the EDAC labs by winds that topped 200

miles an hour, reaching an F5 on the
Fujita scale.

What makes this disaster different from
years ago is that, amazingly, no lives

were lost.

At the center of nature's wrath is a
story of the courage and bravery of a

people who risked life and limb to make
sure that the EDAC's deadly source of

lethal microbes were sealed safely away
in an underground vault.

I just wanted to tell you how... You're
not the family, honey.

It's all right.

I feel sorry about everything.

Me too, kiddo. Me too.

You know, I've been thinking about
Portland.

No, I feel sorry about me moving back.

No, no, no.

It's about me moving back here.

What do you mean?

I think I've been gone from home long
enough, don't you?

Are you serious?

Yep.
