00:00:00.792 --> 00:00:02.377
Whatever's in there is big.

00:00:02.377 --> 00:00:03.795
This is an EF-5.

00:00:07.298 --> 00:00:08.550
The past few decades since

00:00:08.550 --> 00:00:11.511
Twister came out,
the nature of tornadoes have changed.

00:00:11.553 --> 00:00:13.847
Tornado season itself is now longer.

00:00:14.264 --> 00:00:15.598
It can happen any time.

00:00:15.598 --> 00:00:20.228
Listen up, we are unfortunately in a lightning
delay. Take shelter.

00:00:21.730 --> 00:00:22.564
For Twisters,

00:00:22.564 --> 00:00:24.399
We wanted to bring in storm chasing

00:00:24.399 --> 00:00:26.985
to life for audiences
in the most authentic way possible.

00:00:27.027 --> 00:00:29.654
We'll have the cast of real life
storm chasers we showed us

00:00:29.696 --> 00:00:31.072
Technical language and. Jargon.

00:00:31.072 --> 00:00:34.325
We just wanted to be true to what tornado
chasing actually is.

00:00:34.325 --> 00:00:36.870
And we wanted the science
to back the film.

00:00:37.328 --> 00:00:38.496
And action!

00:00:38.496 --> 00:00:40.540
See these red outlines.

00:00:40.999 --> 00:00:44.502
We're having an extremely active tornado
season in this part of the country.

00:00:44.711 --> 00:00:45.545
As we're learning,

00:00:45.545 --> 00:00:48.590
a lot of tornadoes are starting
to move further east and further south.

00:00:48.757 --> 00:00:52.761
So there's a growing risk of more cities
actually getting hit by tornadoes

00:00:52.761 --> 00:00:54.345
that otherwise in the past
wouldn't happen.

00:00:54.345 --> 00:00:56.514
What do tornadoes have against small towns?

00:00:56.514 --> 00:00:57.557
I don't know.

00:00:57.557 --> 00:00:59.934
A lot of those occur at night,
which is really dangerous

00:00:59.934 --> 00:01:01.686
because you're just not
aware you might be asleep.

00:01:03.396 --> 00:01:05.648
So the weather
service is having to get more creative

00:01:05.648 --> 00:01:09.736
in how to give as much warning time
as possible.

00:01:11.571 --> 00:01:13.615
The Weather Service and NOAA are actually

00:01:13.615 --> 00:01:17.911
using high resolution radars to quickly
sample storm environments.

00:01:17.911 --> 00:01:21.748
And this is one of the new technologies
that allows us to track different storms

00:01:21.748 --> 00:01:25.627
in different areas electronically
so we can sample very large environments

00:01:25.627 --> 00:01:26.503
very quickly.

00:01:26.503 --> 00:01:29.714
We could change those racks out
with actual racks

00:01:29.923 --> 00:01:33.760
so that they're actually collecting data
and basically integrated into the project.

00:01:34.260 --> 00:01:36.221
Nice upgrade from the old van, right?

00:01:36.221 --> 00:01:39.599
So those kinds of technologies are
what we see integrated into the movie.

00:01:39.849 --> 00:01:43.478
Twisters, which showcases possibility
of what information you could find

00:01:43.478 --> 00:01:46.064
and we have to work together
to just try to help people.

00:01:46.064 --> 00:01:47.774
Make sure people get to a safe place.

00:01:47.774 --> 00:01:50.110
We think of our friends,
the communities that we live in,

00:01:50.110 --> 00:01:54.155
and we have too much knowledge now to not
make shifts in our daily lifestyles.

00:01:54.239 --> 00:01:55.198
So why not?

00:01:55.198 --> 00:01:57.158
You know, everyone start thinking,
what can I do?

00:01:57.158 --> 00:01:58.284
What's the one step I can do

00:01:58.284 --> 00:02:01.246
every day that may make a bigger
and better difference for the future?

00:02:01.287 --> 00:02:03.289
What we're doing could save thousands of lives.

00:02:03.456 --> 00:02:09.379
Twisters is really about hope and people
trying to work together to solve problems.

00:02:09.671 --> 00:02:12.423
It's about science, and it's also about

00:02:12.632 --> 00:02:15.593
revering and honoring,
respecting and loving nature.

00:02:15.760 --> 00:02:17.220
It's a tornado right there.

00:02:17.220 --> 00:02:18.179
Get some photos of that.

00:02:18.179 --> 00:02:20.765
Birth of a tornado. Nature's masterpiece.
