I'm a meteorologist, and I can tell you that every time I watch this scene I make sure to pay attention. I may not be as directly linked to the effort as others, but I'll be damned if I ever forget how our job is to protect people.
As a non-meteorologist, I just want to say this; as much as we like to gripe and complain about the slightest inaccuracy in your weather reports, there's no one we're more grateful for when we hear the sirens go off. Thanks for putting up with our crap the other 99% of the time for when we really do need someone to tell us what's going on.
A lot of the "inaccuracies" with weather reports have to do with lack of understanding. From what I understand, when a report comes out that there's an 80% chance of rain, that means that it WILL rain over 80% of the covered area. You may or may not be inside that 80%. So when there's a 10% chance of rain, and you happened to be rained on, you got unlucky and were inside that 10% area where it was absolutely going to rain. This is how I understand it, but I'm not actually a meteorologist, so I may be incorrect.
My friends lost their house twice in 6 years, then almost got hit 3 more times, one EF5, I survived a lightning strike, yet I still chase storms to this day and am wanting to sign up with Mississippi State for meteorology, I want to build a TIV and probes and try to gather scientific data to save lives because I know what it's like first hand
This part of the movie always gives me chills, especially since a town near me, the town of Dumas, AR, was hit by a devastating EF3, almost rated as an EF4, in February 2007 and the scene from the movie was almost exactly how Dumas looked like after the tornado. Thankfully there was a 20 minute warning and no lives were lost.
It's so sad. This actually happens in real life. Most of the time, these towns get little to no warning before a tornado hits. And that's a very scary and depressing thought.
This is what I was hearing in my head as I was walking around North Dallas after the tornado went through. EF-3. So much destruction. Amazing that no one was killed.
Most small cities back then are unaware of tornadoes touching down and threatening to destroy them and wipe them off the map for good, now with modern technology of tracking tornadoes on Doppler, TORCON on the Weather Channel, etc. They can go from 3 minute preparation to a full 15 to 30 minute preparation
we even have cell phones that goes off in case of emergency alerts, such as Amber Alerts, Extreme/Severe threats, and Presidential Alerts. I remember my phone going off when we had a tornado warning, it gave everyone time for shelter.
James Sanders only the NE side of Centerville (a small adjacent town) and continued on about 350 yards towards a military base and ripped the hangar roofs off before dissipating
Something that always strikes me when I watch this scene is Jo's reaction as the chasers drive through the ruins of Wakita--particularly when she sees the family with the little girl. I think it's because those might be the same people who played her and her family in the prologue, but it almost seems like they're not actually there--like she is, for a moment, having a sort of hallucination/out of body experience/flashback. Especially given the way the camera focuses on them, and on the girl in particular, and the way the family is standing so utterly still among the ruins...
very sad that people sometimes have no warning of the impending danger. Also very scary. I feel even sorrier for Jo's Aunt Meg, who didn't have time to get to safety and was seriously injured.
This scene makes the audiences think and realize just how scary tornadoes can be and what it is that they can do to a small town in just minutes or less it’s amazing and devastating at the scale of damage that they can do. But even with all the damage that is left behind. The human spirit comes together and helps out
😤😡 How would you feel if disasters hit your place hard along with your friends, family and pets.... all the the things and people that you cared closely to your heart and soul. How would you feel? WWWEEELLLL?!?!

It looks to hit- *dusty chocks up, voice fills with agony and sadness* -it..looks to hit Wakita head on...
"They had no warning..."
Always so sad
MischiefHowlVA not sad good
I DO MODS ON GTA5 MONEY DROPS how is that good!?
MischiefHowlVA ;w;
"Honey, your car is in the tree around the corner."
James Sanders “oooohhhh”
loved that line classic

3:50-4:19 is so incredibly heartwarming when they get finally get Meg out of the house before it falls apart. Second favorite part of the movie.
What's ur first favorite
Yea what's your first? I bet it's when they are in the tornado at the end, it's my favorite too
i noticed they played the music after they get her out of the house instead of the beginning of it
"Grab EVERY aluminum can you can find!"
It's so sad. This actually happens in real life. Most of the time, these towns get little to no warning before a tornado hits. And that's a very scary and depressing thought.
Which is exactly the case here, Aunt Meg said something about the tornado sirens going off a few seconds before it hit.
That was the saddest part in the movie
Anyone else notice how the little girl with her mother and father looks just like the younger Joe we see at the start of the film?

No, the lead time isn't that long it is more like 10-15 minutes.

+Dustin Krueger did a tornado ever hit
James Sanders only the NE side of Centerville (a small adjacent town) and continued on about 350 yards towards a military base and ripped the hangar roofs off before dissipating
+Dustin Krueger Ok, but did it hit your house

I feel the same, especially when it seems like they're staring directly at her.
@@rachel_wx6640 The little girl most definitely.
That movie scene always made me cry :C
Me to... I've lost homes and family because of these monsters of mother nature.....
That poor Baby crying his/her lungs out at the devastation.😔 and the first site of Aunt Meg's House destroyed, oh my God.😰
I'm Watching Twister Tonight
"MEG!!!!"
MEG?! MEG, BILL!? Someone take my watch, Joey take my watch!
@@VexNovaYT GET THE AMBULANCE,LAURENCE NOW!
HOLD ON MEG WE'RE COMING DOWN!
This scene made me very sad. :(
“I know how to make Dorothy fly.”
This is how it felt driving through Dallas after the EF-3 plowed through. The devastation was unreal.
very sad that people sometimes have no warning of the impending danger. Also very scary. I feel even sorrier for Jo's Aunt Meg, who didn't have time to get to safety and was seriously injured.
I actually remembered her dying so I was relieved when they rescued her and the dog
Jo, wait!
It is here it's heading right for us

3:58~ 4:41 my fav part of this song. Plus this makes me tear up because this is arguably the most emotional part of the movie 😭😭😭
The extreme emotion really gets to me
Who wants some steak & eggs?
"You need to have some of Meg's gravy! It's practically a food group by itself!"
Justin Heaton shit, I do!
Does anyone else hear the Twister wheatfield theme in a much lower/darker tone at the beginning?
Yup
I hear it...
Dusty / It looks to hit wakita head on
Joe and bill drives through wakita with sadness and despair as joe says they had no warning
I don't blame you.
I cant find the one that plays when they see the first tornado.
It's "The Hunt: Ditch"
Right before this one.
Dusty : Get an ambulance Lawrence now !
I couldn't imagine seeing anything like this until my friends got hit twice in 6 years
I am glad a tornado hit wakita

@@williamstorey8678 It did. It ripped his soul clean out of his body. All that remains is a shell of a person with no empathy or capability of love.
Mike .R. Ahahahaha haha don’t feel bad for you what so ever hahahahaha
