The Real Storm Chasers Who Inspired Twister

You didn’t have to have a special interest in extreme weather to love the ’90s. Helen Hunt And Bill Paxton classic, TornadoIt was cinematic excellence to see a cow twisting and turning in the air among other debris, and you can’t tell me otherwise. Maybe it’s because Tornado came out in 1996, and it hits me in all the nostalgic places, but I’ll still watch it whenever I get the chance. In fact, being a storm chaser was one of the first careers I wanted to have when I was seven years old. Tornadoes are very real and very scary weather phenomena that are entirely unpredictable, so Tornado This may not affect people who live outside of Tornado Alley. However, if you have seen the film, it might scare you and make you wonder who the crazy people are who would want to study such an explosive event. These people are called NSSL researchers, and their job is to study these twisting, turning funnels of destruction. And with its sequel, Tornadoesfeaturing Glen Powell And Daisy Edgar-Joneswhich is taking the box office by storm, it’s time we investigate whether this duo of weather-fighting films are legit and based on real science.
