- TriviaJames Paxton: The son of Bill Paxton, appears during the rodeo scene as the angry hotel guest.
- GoofsIn the movie, tornadoes kept popping up and catching crowds unaware.
In Oklahoma TV stations compete aggressively to offer the best severe weather coverage. When conditions are right for potential severe each station would have at least three - if not more - teams of trained spotters deployed, a helicopter for each station, and multiple forms of advanced radar to track storms.
While there are a number of amateur, academic and even weather-tourism spotters around, the majority of spotters would be affiliated with television stations, and citizens know to be following weather reports, resulting in significant advanced notice of approaching storms.

Featured review
After surviving a somewhat primitive experiment to study tornados, Kate Carter is convinced to return to the project, she has to discover just who she's placing her life on the line for.
It's a mixed bag, I'd argue it's not a patch on the original, which is superior in every single measure, it's watchable, looks good, but is ultimately somewhat unsatisfying.
On the plus side, some of the shots are great, especially the panoramic views, some very convincing special effects too, it's a very nice looking film, some fine music choices too.
Unfortunately, it feels like there's a big gap at the centre of it, it just lacks a certain sense of direction, but worse, I'm not a fan of the characters, I simply couldn't warm to Kate, and as for Tyler, no comment.
Talk about stereotypes, it was like stepping back to the 1080'w we have the frosty lead Kate, the dimwit square jawed, handsome but brash male character, we have the Asian tech guy, and where would we be without the ever so English fool, it could have been a Murder, she wrote lineup.
Go and watch the original instead.
6/10.
