Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAfter the Las Vegas tornadoes, Andy mentions that they were as strong as "Oklahoma City in 1999." Later in the movie when several stock videos of tornadoes are shown as the storm approaches Chicago, the video of the large tornado with the small satellite tornado to the left of it is the actual tornado that hit the Oklahoma City area in 1999. It is often referred to as the Bridge Creek Tornado due to the horrific damage it caused in that community, and at the time and still to this day it had the highest winds recorded in a tornado in history.
- GoofsWhen power is restored to the mall, the escalators start up. Modern escalators do not start up on their own after a power cut. They have to be manually reset. This is a safety feature.

Tornado Tommy: [after an enormous twister misses his tour truck by inches, to his tourists] That was worth getting up in the morning for, wasn't it, huh? Did y'all like that?

Featured review
Over The Top Goofy - but still...
Sort of like a train wreck, I had to watch this and part seven. Very goofy, but had some interesting yet predictable plot lines.
The whole message of this series (at least the two parts I watched) seemed to be that we humans are bad, bad creatures. According to what I gleaned from these two parts: We and we alone caused global warming, should recycle more, should stop driving and should stop using so much energy. And of course, all energy companies are evil.
A very preachy series! Oy!
Some of the plots were predicable. Like Chandra West and Thomas Gibson in their obvious extra-marital affair, crisis with family, resolve issues during weather disaster.
Randy Quaid was a hoot as he more or less did a reprise of his "Independence Day" role as a whacked-out misfit.
A lot of the special effects were repeated in both 6 & 7 (like a skyline view of Chicago then a skyline of Washington, D.C., with the same carnage in the foreground - or a repeat shot of a power plant, one in Chicago, one in D.C.).
I had to suspend disbelief as the time-line of many of these events and scenes defied logic.
Overall – poorly written storyline with average acting and quirky special effects.
