Kate Cooper, a former storm chaser haunted by a devastating encounter with a tornado during her college year, now studies storm patterns on screens safely in New York City. She is lured back to the open plains by her friend, Javi to test a groundbreaking new tracking system. There, she crosses paths with Tyler Owens, the charming and reckless social-media superstar who thrives on posting his storm-chasing adventures with his raucous crew. As storm season intensifies, terrifying phenomena never seen before are unleashed, and Kate, Tyler and their competing teams find themselves squarely in the paths of multiple storm systems converging over central Oklahoma in the fight of their lives.

Thoughts
I loved this! Been following Chad Radwell’s career since he was Chad Radwell and he’s getting better and more adorable by the minute. And this is a great movie, good acting, solid story, impressive action sequences and the special effects were breathtaking. I don’t understand this life where you want to head towards the terrifying weather, but I was so invested in the whole thing.
I really enjoyed the original movie too, and I suppose there’s an argument about whether this film was needed, as it tells pretty much the same story, but I loved it, so it can stay!
