A hurricane is heading for Lawndale, forcing Ms. Li to evacuate the school in the middle of a pep rally. However, Daria and Jane were hanging out on the roof to escape said pep rally, and wind up locked up there with Kevin and Brittany. The four survive by squeezing into the rickety shed which houses the school's water heater.

Meanwhile the other Morgendorffers wait out the storm at their house, joined by Trent. With Daria and Jane still missing, however, Jake and Trent go out in the hurricane to look for them. They crash the car, but turn out alright. Daria and Jane arrive home, and everyone is glad to see that their loved ones are alright.
