is a 1996 American made-for-television disaster film that is directed by Noel Nosseck and starring Bruce Campbell and Shannon Sturges and was aired on the Fox television network on May 7, 1996.

[1] Jake Thorne (Bruce Campbell) is a storm chaser whose friend and former graduate school advisor, Dr. Joe Branson (Ernie Hudson), has developed a machine that may be able to provide earlier tornado warnings.

An F4 tornado strikes Roseville, Texas one afternoon with no warning issued, killing a number of residents and reinforcing Samantha's belief in the project.

During the process, Jake and Samantha become romantically attracted to each other, but a powerful F5 tornado threatens the lives of all the major characters as it closes in on Byron one night.

Ephram's sacrifice allowed Dr. Branson's machine to collect the data needed to increase lead time for tornado warnings and potentially save lives.
