1996 Cinematic Gold

Ever see the movie Twister? In case you have not, here is a brief run down of the climatic scene. The two main protagonists find themselves in a partially dilapidated shack, face to face with a deadly, vicious, monstrous tornado. Having witnessed the tornado level the shack, they do the only logical thing. They fasten themselves to a metal pipe with leather straps. Just a few scenes back their college was killed by flying debris. That guy was no where near as close as they were. I mean the tornado was literally above them. Miraculously nothing bad happened to them.They weren't sucked up, nothing hit them. They were unscathed. Helen Hunt even made a few movies after that incident. I share this because up until now , I thought there was no way in hell it could ever happen. I'm glad I was wrong. Granted I doubt we were in the midst of a tornado, but the winds were unusually strong. We floated in the air for a while, wondering our fate. Suddenly the winds started to die. Gently releasing us to the Earth, then traveling far, far away. It was almost like a child throwing a tantrum. A noisy lion in the begining, a quiet, sleepy lamb in the end.
