Hold on tight!

DONNIE:
Oh, my God, the grate's loose!

- Hold on!

KAITLYN:
We're gonna get sucked out!

DONNIE:
Keep your head down!

[KAITLYN WHIMPERING]

Hey, this footage and data

could save lives one day!

What are you doing?

Pete?

- No, no! Wait!

- Allison!

Pete!

Pete!

Lucas! Give me that!

[GROANS]

[GRUNTING]

Peter, please, come back!

[SCREAMING]

Gary!

No! Allison! I can't reach!

- Give me your hand!

- Aah!

GARY:

Come on!

Come on. Come here!

Allison! Here. (Some on.

You okay?

Yeah.

Okay, anchor down.

TREY:
What's he doing?

GARY:
He's trying to plug the hole!

PETE:

Damn it. She won't stay anchored.

Allison! Allison!

[OVER RADIO]

Can you hitch the winch to something solid?

ALLISON:
The truck!

- Yeah.

- The release.

ALLISON:
Here.

GARY:

Okay, I got it.

- We're good!

ALLISON:
All right, Pete, we're set.

You can tighten her up.

Okay, then.

Titus versus tornado.

DONNIE:
Dad, hang on!

ALLISON:
Gary!

Hang on!

[ALL SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY]

[ALL COUGHING]

Is that it? Is it over?

Pete, what's happening? Did it pass us?

[THUNDER CRASHING]

PETE:

It's not gonna last.

We're in the eye.

Oh, God.

Guys, the trailing winds will be

even stronger! You've gotta hang on!

DONNIE:

Okay.

Hold on tight.

Hold on!

Donnie! Get down!

[GRUNTING]

It's not gonna hold!

Peter!

No!

[GRUNTS]

[SCREAMING]

Grab my hand! No!

- No!

ALLISON:
Gary!

[YELLING]

[YELLING]

MAN:

And let's see. We're gonna stay right here.

We're gonna see if it re-cycles.

It's becoming more of a barrel-shaped.

The wedge has decreased a little bit, and it

looks like it's roping out at Air Depot Road.

Look at the rope on that thing.

Feeder band looks like it's pretty low

to the ground. It's way lower than we are.

There it is. It's gone, Mike.

- Everybody okay?

KAITLYN:
I'm fine.

DONNIE:
Yeah, we're good.

- You're okay.

Trey?

[GRUNTING]

MAN 1:
This was a storm that was on

the ground for at least 10 miles before it hit.

WOMAN 1:
-assault by giant tornadoes.

And look how powerful they are.

WOMAN 2:
One tornado is already

being called the largest tornado in history.

MAN 2:

The intense storm that set off the twisters...

dropped golf ball to baseball-sized hail.

MAN 3:
There's no denying the tragedy

that we've all endured here today.

But you know...

our faith will carry us through,

and we will rebuild.

GARY:

I'm sorry about Pete.

[CELL PHONE RINGS]

Hey, little bug.

Hey.

No, Mama's okay. I'm okay.

I am. I promise.

I'm coming home.

Yeah, Mama's coming home.

I love you too.

TODD:

In 25 years?

It doesn't matter, you know?

Just taking it one day at a time.

Every day's just fine.

Because I'm alive.

That's it.

Nothing else matters.

Sometimes I think the human race

as a species is crazy.

But when the chips are down...

ordinary people, like you and me...

are good.

I like that.

You know, Pete and I had our moments...

but I know why he got up every morning.

And I know why he gave up his life.

He wanted to make a difference and...

Um...

Well, hopefully this film

will help accomplish that.

Huh?

Uh, to be honest,

it didn't look good back there.

But we made it.

We stuck together, and here we are.

Alive.

I'm just grateful that we'll be able

to look back on this in 25 years.

Twenty-five years?

Wow. You are gonna be so old.

- Heh.

- And probably bald too.

All right, you're cutoff.

Donnie, you have something

you wanna say?

Uh, I don't think we really have

to say anything, you know?

We're all here now. Together.

And that's all that matters.

Yeah, it is.

Okay. Let's get back to work.

[TREY CHUCKLES]

REEVIS:

Hey! Donk!

Donk, where are you?

DONK:

Over here!

Hey, you're upside down!

REEVIS:

No, you're upside down! And you're in a tree!

DONK:

Well, so are you!

REEVIS:

Oh, yeah.

That camera still working?

- REEVIS:
Yeah, it is!

- Ha, ha.

- Man, we are gonna be so rich!

- Ha-ha-ha.

REEVIS:

Oh, sh*t! Donk!
