Rating Movie Tornadoes

Creating a tornado in a film has always been a test of the limits of special effects, but most people, luckily, haven't gotten up close and personal with enough of them to spot the differences. Keith Cecere and Rich Ruggiero, both active storm chasers (and co-stars in IFC's storm-chasing mockumentary 'Funnel of Darkness'), have.

That's why they've offered their judgments on five movies known for their wicked weather sequences, which they've rated on the Fujita scale, a scale for rating tornado intensity.

Additionally, IFC created a web site 'Has NYC Been Hit by a Tornado.' This is the first time that an entertainment company has used one of these sites to promote a show.
