action

Intro scene : April Sanders and her brother Sean get caught in a tornado as little children while driving a car and watch their parents fall victim to the tornado.

30 years later. April Sanders, single mother of 16-year-old Dana, is a professional tornado researcher. The mother-to-daughter relationship is strained because, from Dana’s point of view, her mother cares too little about her concerns. Dana lets her mother know about this when Dana's school in "Wyatsville" ( Oklahoma ) is destroyed by a tornado and April, although all the young people in the shelter were able to save themselves, arrived too late at the scene.

April offers her daughter Dana to travel for a few days to her uncle Sean, who works as a sheriff in "Shiloh Hills". A trip also with the intention of April to find a place at the "Garfield University" for her daughter who is very interested in acting. Although April had promised her daughter not to bother with her professional work during these days, April regularly uses her laptop to find out about the weather. This is for worrying reason, as April finds out that a dangerous tornado could soon occur over the Seattle area . As a result, Sean is confronted with police operations, the causes of which can be traced back to a tornado.

April comes into contact with the television weather reporter Travis, a childhood sweetheart from earlier college days, and as April also reveals to Travis, Dana's biological father.

Together, April and Travis try to warn the population about the disastrous tornado. The two, however, have to deal with their own family problems in advance, as Dana has secretly left the house of Sean's family to meet the youngster Ryan Laswell, the son of a real estate agent who is not unknown to the police sheriff Sean.

For Dana, the date with Ryan is a horror experience. Ryan leads the girl in his car into a newly created, still uninhabited villa, where Dana is sexually harassed by Ryan. But the tornado that is approaching the property is also increasingly becoming a deadly threat.

By locating Ryan's vehicle using a navigation system, April, Travis and Sean can track down the whereabouts of Dana and her tormentor. In time for the approaching tornado, Dana and her mother April can hug each other. Sheriff Sean manages to save the fleeing Ryan from the tornado, only to arrest him handcuffed afterwards.
