Tornadoes appear around the world, but are most common in the United States. And they’ve been main plot points in films throughout the past century. Perhaps among the most popular is the 1996 classic, Twister. Now, 28 years later, Twisters, a successor film of sorts and now in theaters, leans into the same elusive lure tornadoes bring. The central premise of Twisters is that, somehow, humans can throw chemicals into a tornado to absorb the tropical moisture that gives rise to these storms and thereby pull the plug on the funnel.

And while her wrath can be devastating at times, it can also be beautiful, bringing rain to parched areas in need or even sending in the cooler temperatures that signal trees to put on their biggest show of the year, changing their leaves into a rainbow of beautiful colors, before shedding them for their long winter's sleep. In fact, some people are so fascinated by rapidly changing weather that they dedicate a portion of their lives to it and become storm chasers. These folks often brave dangerous conditions...
