14:35 "So we won't have to see Twister 2" Well, about that....
-
The fact they ran from an f5 tornado, with wooden fence panels flying everywhere and all kinds of different debris, and neither Jo or Bill managed to get so much as a scratch let alone a paper cut.....deserves all sorts of sins by itself.

"Can't become a half-mile wide monster at the same time." The 2011 Joplin Tornado has entered the chat.

CinemaSins : “This tornado hides better than 1998 godzilla” Me : OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
-
R.I.P. Philip Seymour Hoffman R.I.P. Bill Paxton This movie is a classic!
-
When they were strapped to the pipes, I think the debris would've killed them... all that crap hitting them at 300mph.
-
The huge GPS tribute given to Paxton by storm chasers and meteorologists after his death was pretty awesome.
-
I can’t believe how many great movies came out of the 90s. Such a great decade for entertainment.
-
Bill Paxton is the only actor in cinematic history to be killed by a Terminator, a Predator, and an Alien. But not a tornado. lol
-
Add another sin. The opening scene was in 1969. Then how did the guy on TV know about an F5 tornado? The Fujita Scale wasn't invented util 1971.

In 1996, hiding under an overpass wasn't generally known to be a bad idea. A news team famously rode out the F5 Andover KS tornado in 1991 under one (though the tornado largely missed them) and it went nationwide. It wasn't until the F5 Moore OK tornado when people were killed heeding that faulty knowledge that people became largely aware of an overpass being a horrible shelter.

"Just pour some dickel into my mouth and feed me nails, I've got a house to rebuild." That fucking killed me spot on
-
8:18 "Miracle dirt roads are everywhere in Oklahoma." You clearly never been to Oklahoma.
-
It’s weird how both Paxton and Hoffman have passed. They looked so young here and it was only 1996
-
0:45 "Look at mid levels for rotation and increase the PRF" might sound like technobabble but it's factually correct. Mid-level updraft rotation in a supercell is one of the first signs of a potentially developing tornado, so it would make sense that Jo would want the radar scanning for rotation in that particular area of the storm. PRF (pulse repetition frequency) is a real Doppler radar term, it's the rate at which radar pulses are transmitted. When a supercell thunderstorm is close to the radar dish (as depicted in this scene), the radar would need to have its PRF increased in order to receive accurate wind velocity and rotation data.

If you were alive when this movie came out, it was the biggest thing ever. Wow. Thank god for the progress of technology

"Do you have a cure for getting exploded?" Spit out what i was drinking

In the end when the F5 didn't take the house was based on a true event where an F5 destroyed a hell of a lot of crap but the house still stood. Also the scene of the inside of the F5 was from a farmer who survived the inside of the tornado and told people what it looks like inside. Guessing Spielberg heard the story and added it to this movie. Also add a sin for tornadoes having a roaring noise like a dinosaur. And knock off several sins for how damn delicious aunt Meg's steak and eggs looked

To be fair, at 6:03, when this movie was made, people did encourage you to go under overpasses. It's only recently that experts were like "lol, no, don't do that"
