* ArtisticLicensePhysics: You would think the tornadoes attacking the town have finally had it with how they're treated and presented in movies after seeing this film. The tornadoes have so much wrong written all over them.
** For starters, the inflow jets aren't presented correctly for most of the film. The inflow jet of the Tornado near the protagonist's house seems to be the only inflow jet that knows its role in the film. In other words, only one tornado has a fully functioning inflow jet. The rest don't.
** It gets worse too. Every tornado in the film blows up any building they come across, save for the protagonist's house, which is ripped apart like any house with a tornado close to it would be. Now, there aren't any fiery explosions per say, the houses just blow to pieces with no embers or flames. That is NOT in any way how tornado damage works. Tornadoes don't just blow shit up like it's fourth of July. They rip things apart, ''piece by piece'' or in the case of violent tornadoes ''pick up a whole damn building/vehicle and toss them like footballs'' if they're still in one whole piece that is.
** And the tornadoes chasing the protagonists near the end of the film. The car... The mother. fucking. car, ''GETS BARREL ROLLED, FLIPPED AND TOSSED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BY ONE OF THE TORNADOES CHASING THE PROTAGONISTS''. The protagonists are in the inflow jet of a tornado, yet they don't get picked up. The poor driver falling behind doesn't even get swooped up until the car ''physically touches'' the tornado. And let's not forget that the tornadoes were nearing them.
** And the fucking overpass, THE FUCKING OVERPASS! The protagonists clearly have plot armor thick enough, Thanos' finger snap couldn't penetrate it. The worst thing you can do during a tornado is hide under an overpass. Overpasses are NOT built as tornado-proof shelters, they're built for vehicles to safely cross over whatever they're built over, NOT to hide from fucking tornadoes!
** And then there's the fact that multiple tornadoes touch down at once, in the town. WHY THE HELL ARE PEOPLE, VEHICLES, AND PIECES OF BUILDINGS NOT FLYING EVERYWHERE?!

Adding more to the tropes of this God awful film!

* DoNotTouchTheFunnelCloud: The last part of the movie violates this trope egregiously. The heroes outrun a tornado's funnel cloud that was literally right on their bumper during the finale. The film almost averted this during an earlier scene that had a tornado tear a wall off the protagonist's house while the funnel cloud was still hundreds of yards away.

God there's just so much wrong with this film, and very few tropes to point out the wrong doings.
