Plot Summary
Pete, a veteran storm chaser, attempts to intercept and film tornadoes using Titus, a Tornado Intercept Vehicle, but has come up short all year long. Upon learning of a major line of developing storms, his team of chasers decide to head for the town of Silverton, Oklahoma, in hopes of filming tornadoes. After arriving there, the team discovers that the cell they had been chasing has dissipated. It then abruptly strengthens, resulting in a hailstorm and tornado. As the team films, the funnel shifts course and heads for a high school. There, the weather sours. The students are marshaled into the school building.
In the aftermath of the tornado, shaken students emerge from the damaged building to view the destruction, while vice-principal Gary Fuller sets out to rescue his eldest son Donnie, who went to an abandoned paper mill to help his friend Kaitlyn with a project; both were subsequently trapped when the tornado brought the building down on them. As Pete’s storm chase team stops in a small part of town, a tornado takes shape just as Gary and his younger son Trey arrive, destroying several buildings. Before the tornado dissipates, Gary saves Pete’s meteorologist, Allison Stone. Pete’s team then agree to help Gary get to the paper mill. While en route, another round of tornadoes form and encircle Pete’s team, destroying a residential neighborhood and a car lot in the process.
An explosion turns a tornadoes into a firenado, which cameraman Jacob tries to film, only to be caught up in the storm and killed. This causes friction in the team, as Pete’s concern seems to be more on collecting data than ensuring his team’s safety, until Daryl admits that he pressured Jacob into filming, causing his death. After recovering their vehicles, Allison leaves with Gary to continue their trip to the paper mill.
