At the opening of TwistedKate Carter is unable to tame the first tornado, which is why she is unsuccessful in the first few scenes of the film. All over TwistedKate has a dream of fully taming a tornado, trying to collect data and devise a plan that will allow her to kill one of the titular weather events before it causes any damage. Kate first tries this with her original team at the beginning of Twistedalthough the failure of this expedition leads to the death of most of her team, which is why she failed so much.
Years after the success of the original Twisteda legacy sequel was finally released, with Twisted being even bigger and better than its predecessor. Twisted introduces an entirely new cast of characters, moving away from Bill and Jo Harding and focusing on Kate Carter’s team of meteorologists, as well as Tyler Owens’ team of viral storm chasers. Kate Carter’s team for most of the Twisted is not her original team, as Kate’s failure to stop a tornado led to several deaths earlier in Twistedleading to his early storm in search of retirement.
Kate can’t tame the first twister in Twisters because it was too big
Suddenly it became an F5
Twisted begins with Kate’s first attempts to bring down a tornado, although they are unable to tame it in time. The team uses the Dorthy V device, iterating an invention that was introduced in the original Twistedwith them hoping to calm the storm to prove their methods are successful. Kate’s entire team positions itself and is prepared to release Dorothy V into the storm, although things go horribly wrong when the storm unexpectedly grows into an F5 tornado.
Once Javi realizes how big the tornado is, he notifies the team about his F5 statusalthough it’s too late. The group has to flee on foot due to the storm that hits their vehicle, with them improvising a plan to survive. The gang finds a bridge and tries to hide under it, believing in the myth that it is capable of protecting people from storms. While Kate manages to survive by hiding under the bridge, the rest of her friends are not so lucky, with the intense storm claiming the lives of Jeb, Addy and Praveen.
Twisters shows Kate perfecting her formula for taming tornadoes
After it failed the first time
Kate gives up her aspirations to control a storm after the death of her team, moving away and getting an office job where she sorts storms. However, Kate ends up being drawn back into the world of storm chasing by Javi, reigniting her passion for her project. While working with Javi’s Storm Par team, Kate is able to collect more data, allowing her to further perfect her formula for taming tornadoes. The assistance of Tyler’s team is also a big help, with her working with Tyler to finally get the formula right.
Kate gets the chance to test her revised theory at the end of Twistedwith her and the storm chase teams having to face another F5 tornado. THE Twisted cast is informed of the strong storm shortly beforeallowing them to properly prepare for the storm. Kate takes her new formula and drives directly into the storm while the rest of the characters are in town, directly in the path of the tornado. Fortunately, Kate’s new formula actually works, with the tornado dissipating before completely destroying the theater.
What Kate’s Tornado Taming Formula Means for the Future of Twisters
Kate’s life will never be the same again
Now that Kate has successfully tamed a tornado, the world of Twisted It will be totally different from now on. From now on, tornadoes are much less of a threat as people simply need to use Kate’s formula to tame them. Since the end of Twisted confirms that the formula can work on an F5 tornado, meaning it can work on almost anything, presumably being used frequently in the world after Kate’s test worked.
The success of Kate’s formula also means a lot to Kate, as the success will likely completely change her life. If Kate wanted to, she could make a lot of money from her formula, allowing her to become incredibly wealthy. However, Kate doesn’t seem like the type of person to copyright a life-saving device like this formulaalthough it still opens doors to future employment opportunities. In the real world, a successful formula for controlling tornadoes would change the world, and it certainly will in the world of Twisted.
