It's the movie you're thinking of, but you've twisted the details around some. Walmart has it in there $5 movie box with a double feature with "The Sky is Burning" here in central Indiana.

IMO, for a m4tv disaster flick, it's pretty darn good.

If you can remember it that well, it should be obvious it's the same movie, Or didn't you have time to look at some of the comments? You don't seem to have time to type properly, so I guess that might be it.

sorry bout the typos...was up late...and no one really hit on the question i asked. i was also like 10 or so when it came on tv and i vaguely remember bits and pieces of it. i just wanted to make sure that was the right movie i was thinking of before i bought it. thanks for the feed back though.
