Why did we stop?

It must be flooded.

Well fix it!

Mate I smell gas.

I do too. Come on, get out of

the car! Get out of the car!

Go, go, go!

The gun!

Well, at least the rain is easing up a bit.

Can I use you phone please?

It's been dead for hours.

Thanks.

No problem.

So what kinda name is Nova anyway?

That's the kinda name

you give yourself when

you don't like the person you use to be.

Hey, uh. Look, I see the way

you that you look at my dad.

He's just gonna break your heart,

like he did to my mom and I.

It looks like the eye of the storm is over.

Or maybe not.

Hey make it quick. I don't want

to spend too much time here.

With these storms ravaging the

streets of Los Angeles, some religious

officials are referring to this as the

opening signs of the impending apocalypse.

Apocalypse my ass.

This isn't the end of the world.

Gods, they're not angry with us.

The Aliens aren't coming down.

It's the government.

Ye-ah.

With the big capital G.

They're behind everything.

They know what we buy. They know what

we eat. Where we go to the bathroom.

Hurry. Hurry.

They know what kinda cheese I like.

Pepper Jack.

They control it all and the weather too.

I gotta hand it to them though,

Sharks? I never saw that coming.

Y-eah.

Weather satellites are

currently tracking 3 off shore

water spouts over the Pacific Ocean.

Experts are categorizing this as an EF4.

With a potential to becoming an EF5 tornado

by the time it touches down on land.

In the San Fernando Valley all

roads are blocked and movement...

Protein.

I know how we're going to get out of here.

You know we need a car first.

I've got it covered.

Oh nice!

You're gonna need stitches and antibiotics.

And you're gonna have a hell of a scar.

That's okay. Chicks dig scars, right?

Why are you driving so fast?

We got to get there fast

before they clear the accident.

What accident?

Something I saw on the news.

Look out!

Whoa!

This is nuts.

Now we're never gonna get to Van Nuys.

- Baz, drive around it.

- I can't. It's blocked in every direction.

We got to get Matt before

the storm picks up again.

I'm going for it.

- Are you crazy! Don't do it.

- Go! Go! Go!

Whoo!

Pull your car over.

Dad! The police are chasing us.

- Hey Baz.

- Yeah.

Stop your vehicle now!

Drive faster.

No worries mate.

Fast enough for ya?

Yeah.

Pull to the side of the road.

Stop your vehicle now.

Hey Baz, is that a nitrous button?

- It certainly is mate.

- What do you say we hit that?

- Give it a go.

- Hold on folks.

Hold on to your panties ladies.

Oh man!

Whoo! Now this is fun.

I think we lost them.

Now, we're talking.

Okay.

It should be smooth sailing from here.

Why is there a retirement

home next to an airport?

Because old people can't hear.

It doesn't look like they've left.

Their cars are still here.

I'm gonna go look upstairs.

Okay. I'll check these rooms.

Matt?

Matt?

Has anybody seen anything?

Matt?

Matt?

It's time to leave Kansas, mate.

There's no one up here.

Where is everyone?

Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa!

No, no, no. I'm looking for

Matt. Is there a Matt here?

Matt?

Uh, yeah, yeah. I'm Matt. Who are you?

Guys I found Matt com on.

Come here. He's in here.

Matt!

Dad? Mom?

What are you guys doing here?

We had to come inland to avoid the storm.

- We came in to get you.

- There's sharks everywhere.

Sharks?

Is this the best shelter you got?

Look, we don't exactly have a storm cellar.

We better find something to

protect ourselves and quick.

From what?

They couldn't possibly make

it all the way out here.

They can.

It's entirely possible. A hurricane

can pick up marine life out of the ocean

and drop it hundreds of miles away.

Hold this.

Yeah, he's right. It happened

once near Alice Springs.

100s of perch fell from

the sky. Why not Sharks?

Look, what the hell is going on here?

It's a Sharknado!

Let's get inside here. Get in, get in.

The news said that there's 3 tornadoes

in the area. We're not safe here.

What's the fastest way to get out of here?

Can that fly?

I don't know. Let me check.

Looks pretty beat up.

Hey you know what? She'll fly.

We're not all gonna fit in here.

We can't fly in these storms.

Then what are we gonna do?

We're going to stand and fight?

We can't just wait here and wait

for... sharks to rain down on us again.

We need to arm ourselves with

something more powerful then these.

What were you thinking?

That store's got everything we need.

Semper Paratus.

They must have evacuated.

How are we getting in?

Guys stand back. I have the key.

Dad, I'll be right back.

I have an idea. Come with me.

Oh nice! This is what I'm talking about.

Hey, do you think you can make this work?

Yeah. I'll make it work.

Good.

- Bombs.

- Bombs?

Instead of letting live sharks rain down on

people, we're going to get in that chopper

and throw bombs into the tornadoes.

Blasting those bastards to bits.

I like it, but how is

that gonna stop a tornado?

Tornadoes happen when

cold and warm air meet.

Now if you drop a bomb head, right in the

middle of it, you just might equalize it.

But if you miss, we're screwed.

Oh, hell no. You got a death wish? No way!

Dad, I'm the only one that could do it.

Bobby and Luellyn haven't even soloed yet.

What's wrong?

Your son wants to go into a helicopter

and drop a bomb into the tornado.

No! It's too dangerous.

I'll watch his back.

I'll be the bombardier.

Then definitely not.

Dad, we have a chance to save

thousands of lives. Maybe more.

You always taught me to

help others. I'm going.

He's right April. We'll

work it out together.

I won't let anything happen to him.

Don't you understand you can die Matt?

Mom, we don't have any other option.

And you are not gonna stop me.

He certainly is your son.

Shopping cart?

Yeah.

Claude?

Claude?

Hey! Come on. What are you doing

down here? What's the problem?

You.

You're my problem.

Are we really gonna do that now? Now?

Look, what are you and mom doing?

You guys can barely stand to be in a

room together for 5 minutes, and now.

What? Cause you're saving

Matt you're best friends again?

He is my son.

I'm your daughter.

You guys are always there for

him and you're never there for me.

Hey get that one. No, no, the other one.

You don't think I try?

Not hard enough.

I came for you first.

Try to remember that.

Come on. Come on.

Hey.

I fell off a slide when I was 2.

It hurt like hell.

Now people think it's cool.

Nobody thinks this is cool.

What happened?

I had a tattoo removed.

I don't like to talk about it.

I was raised by my grandparents.

When I was 7 my grandpa

took me fishing on one

of those day charter

deals with his friends.

We wound up hitting into a

reef and the boat went down.

My grandfather took me and put me

inside this little life-raft for safety.

Everyone else was kinda

just swimming around

trying to stay up and suddenly all these

sharks just started swarming and...

and then they...
