that is just a subset of the larger problem of how Paxton and Hunt....had personal force-fields.

not true...don't you remember the part where the weight of the 27" TV, temporarily suspended only by the tensile strength of coax cable, pulls down a wall and nearly crushes them to death?

And it's totally plausible that a tornado might throw a tanker truck filled with fuel 500' yet not have the force necessary to impart any momentum on a Dodge pickup...maybe it had a Hemi.

Finally, while unlikely, I suppose it may be that every splinter of every tree, fence and building, along with the contents of each (some of which they illustrated were quite sharp and pointy) may have simply whizzed around them. Haven't you ever been walking in the rain and by some force of nature emerged completely dry as if each rain drop just missed?

The biggest logical flaw in the movie, though, was how they were not shot in the face by a farmer or arrested for driving multiple trucks through corn fields just for the frick of it.
