Twister (1996)

Chasing Tornados
Is that what the kids call it?
Make-out party! Woo!

And we begin the final stretch of the semester - the weather-related disasters. Twister was written by Michael Crichton (warming up for State of Fear, I suppose) and stars a few big names and some flying cows. Oh, wait - I think that was the same cow.

Before we twist the night away, here's some links:
Sciency explanation (with fun animations)
FEMA does tornadoes. Hmmm...
News and video of the twister that ripped through my hometown last year.

PS - Okay, okay, I know we've sucked the last couple of weeks. Mike's been sick and Sarah's been swamped at work. But at least I get to keep my big toe...

See you next week for The Day After Tomorrow!!
