On Wednesday one of my wife's friends came down from Enid, and we went to eat lunch, and then to see the movie Twisters. Great special effects, but bad science in several things. It is just a movie. In the original Twister it started at night with chickens in the yard walking around. Anyone that has even been around live chickens know they get in the coop at dusk. The old saying "going to bed with the chickens" knows chickens are not out walking around at night.
it was cool too see the movie was really shot in Oklahoma. The first Twister movie brought about a ton of weather tourists. People come from all over the world to load up in vans and SUVs to have some sketchy operator chase storms to see a tornado. It really clogs up the roads for the professionals.
In the new movie they just drive off the road into some farmer's wheat field right through a fence. They would have farmers really pissed off at that damage.
My mom grew up in Oklahoma, and came back when my dad retired. She never once saw a tornado.
