Just take a look here : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/April_25%E2%80%9328,_2011_tornado_outbreak

Before watching this movie I didn't know any of this but I thought to look it up to get more info on tornado's and what they call them when they are very big.

a EF5 it seems is the biggest tornado ever.

I remember the 2011 outbreak very well. Scariest thing I've ever been through. Most of my family's cars were destroyed from the hail, luckily mine was in a garage.

Days later we found a photograph in our front yard. There was a Facebook page set up for people finding photo's and papers that were found after the storms to try and get them back to their owners. Turns out the photo we found came from a house a little over 200 miles away.

I am old enough at 54 and from Texas to remember the weather is most definitely different from what it was in the 60's-90's .

Texas is much hotter more humid and lacks the normal spring storms and usual rainfall and when it does rain its these violent thunder bumpers with twisters then a return to heat humidity and drought.

I don't know what is causing this or why I just notice it is not usual or normal. maybe its cyclical but I was not liking the weather so I moved to the Cascade Maountains and wow what a difference

two words; global warming.

maybe its cyclical

It could be, or it could've already been heading in that direction before we became aware of it. Sometimes I think even scientists don't take things like that into account, enough. It's like with the Salton Sea and Death Valley. Those large areas have been extremely dry for a long time, so the warning signs may have been there for other parts of California that it was going to spread. I always wonder how much of an effect it has on the planet to keep pumping petroleum out of the earth.

Anyway, your post reminded me that we began experiencing continuously muggy Septembers and Octobers in Southern California (inland), beginning in the late '80s or in 1990. Growing up there and being outdoors a lot, I knew it was typically hot, but not continuously muggy during that time. I remember staring out a large window on yet another dreary, muggy day and wondering why it was starting to be like that on a regular basis.

Regarding the OP's question, a little more than two years ago there were storm situations in Oklahoma similar to what's in this movie. The reason I got interested in watching this movie is because it's somewhat surreal to feel like I'm watching a dramatization of what happened in Oklahoma.

Mag, Darling, you're being a bore.

Please stop using the possessive "tornado's" when you should be using the plural "tornadoes"

You did it twice so I figure it is ignorance and not a typo.

Peace!

I live in Central Oklahoma and tornadoes like the ones in this movie happen here every few years. Look up Moore, Oklahoma Tornado Damage. It seems like it's been getting worse over the last few years.

I agree with northranger I live in Oklahoma City as well you defiently need to look up Moore Oklahoma City tornado and they also have footage of the May 20th tornado it was the worst moment I have ever experienced in my life and i know it's been hard on everyone who lives in Oklahoma I was home alone with my two dogs and all I remember was the sound and how my ears hurt
