Absolutely. And had one of the most underrated brutal deaths because of it

Honey, this is a tissue of lies. See, there was another Bill, an evil Bill, and I killed him.

One of my favorite movies ever as a weather nerd. It’s scientifically inaccurate and impractical in many ways, but it’s entertaining.

She didn't create that wealth herself. Just throwing that out there. Not sure why..

Except they aren’t divorced? And she married before the billions started to stack?

I saw a review on Amazon that said this:

"One of the first films I ever saw at the cinema. If you love Storms then you'll love this!!"



That should've been on the poster.

And it’s really unnecessary for the plot. You can take out him and the movie really isn’t any different

I love how evil they make him with the all black caravan of suburbans

First time I saw it was at the drive-in. Watching the drive-in scene at the drive-in was awesome.

Though I love the movie, the ending does bother me when I think of it from a practical standpoint. There is no way that Bill and Jo survive inside the tornado in real life. Even if they could anchor themselves down effectively, they would be impaled by debris. Being hit by debris is what actually kills most tornado victims. The other part of the ending that bothers me is that the "F-5" tornado goes from F-5 (now EF-5) strength when they are running from it and in it, to totally dissipating as soon as it passes them. That's not how it works at all.

Still love the movie and watch anytime I see it on.

Aunt Meg is a damn saint for making that amount of food for all of those people on short notice. They didn't even finish it or clean anything up.
