These Are The 10 Deadliest Tornadoes In Michigan’s History

For avid moviegoers in the mid-90s, you could forget the film Twister, starring Helen Hunt, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Cary Elwes, and Bill Paxton. The movie is pretty self-explanatory as it follows a bunch of people who are chasing tornadoes to learn more about how they work.

Unfortunately, the trailer for the new Twister sequel movie called Twisters, looks like a movie that should go straight to your local gas station's three-dollar DVD bin. The teaser trailers that have aired do not paint the movie in a very impressive light and I highly doubt it will have the same kind of Staying Power that the first film had. That being said, it brings up a topic that may be a little touchy for some.

I guess a point could be made about whether or not it was in bad taste for cities like Flint, Grand Rapids, and Kalamazoo to show a screening of the original Twister movie.

I just think maybe for some people it might be a little too soon, and I get it, "if you're gonna be bothered by it just don't go see it." But maybe read the room a little, ya know?
