500 MPH Storm

Booster ignition and transfer to the lead reflector is affirmative.

AP is now in the primary position for complete control.

On my mark, go to 50-niner. Stop 4-7-2-2-1

Roger, throttle up. Going 2-5-0-niner, stop, 4-7-2-2-1.

This is it, no more off shore drilling. From now on clean renewable energy.

Nathan should be here.

Watch the temperature Simon

Throttle up. Go for main engine start.

Roger that AP, full main engine start.

You know I invited him to witness this.

And he didn't want to come?

He said, uh, so many worlds. So much to do. So little done. So many things to be.

He's quoting Tennyson.

Yeah well what can be more important then this?

Balloons.

Sir, we're all clear.

Let's go for the infusion.

Keep an eye on the monitors for a dip in the pressure.

We're all clear for infusion. Take the level four. 5... 4... 3... 2... 1

We're a go for the main reactor start.

By channeling the power of nature, our main reactor is

About to change how the world consumes energy.

Get the ground line in. Johnny come on. Let's get loaded and go.

Come on get in.

What's happening? The beam intensity is

Far greater than imagined. We didn't expect this.

No, you nailed it! You'll be on the next cover of Forbes!

No. Something doesn't feel right.

That's how it feels when you're about to change history!

Boys.

Lewis. I want test results. Numbers on my desk, 20 minutes Alright.

Then assemble the board because we are taking this thing from

Prototype to actual energy source.

Simon, tell me the numbers look good.

I don't know yet.

I'm sure they're fine. Listen let's call in Senator Bain and

Why don't we call the president because we are changing history here.

Verifying weather anomalies in low-pressure altitudes.

Winds at 129 and climbing.

Why didn't we see that? It just happened.

Whoa, what just happened?

Circular fluid motion of clouds. Pressure is dropping 13 PSI

Increasing wind and 175.

Shit a cyclone is forming in the gulf.

How big?

F5. Big. Find out if there are any vessels in the area and get NOAA on the phone right now.

Copy.

We should think about shutting down the reactor.

The reactor did not cause this. Bad mapping caused this.

What's that suppose to mean?

It means that F5's don't magically appear, okay? And they are not congered by what we did.

Look, it was poor planning on your part because of the weather but we can still do this.

Okay, this reactor was built to with stand anything. Anything.

Nathan was right.

We pushed the reactor too hard.

And you know it.

We're not shutting it down.

Damn.

The reactor is malfunctioning. We've messed with Mother Nature..

Reporting swells of 70 feet.

Range approaching 200mph.

What population centers are within a 400-mile radius?

Galveston.

What?

That's the direct path of the storm.

The storm is coming.

We gotta land.

It's that bad?

Hold on! It's gonna be a hard landing.

Hold on tight.

Brace yourself.

Out! Out! Out! Go! Go!

Storms have gathered across North America, believed to have

Been caused by the government Apollo Station.

Should conditions continue. This is Ryan Johnson for Channel 3 News.

Get in the car!

Dad, what about the Balloon?

Forget the Balloon.

When we get home and get online.

Everything is gonna be fine.

Dr. Caprisi, we're getting reading that are high and low

That are off the charts. We can't shut this down.

What is our footprint?

1,000 square miles and growing.

How long before it hits land?

Days? Hours?

Minutes.

I'm shutting this down.

You don't know that's the problem.

No my chart says we ripped a hole in the ozone. That rip keeps on going.

It won't stop until we stop.

Ox shut it down.

You touch that machine and you won't even get a job at Best Buy.

Shut it down!

Oxford 5 7-642 beginning shut down sequence of core on my mark.

I'm going to check the news.

Good idea. Dad the TV won't come on.

Come on! Come on!

Why?

Pack whatever you can, as quick as you can. Let's go!

We need shelter.

Are you kidding me?

Just get what you can and get in the car now!

Don't talk back to me.

Come on.

Nathan, where are we going?

The school. There's a storm shelter there.

Dad, how far?

10 minutes.

What if the roads are blocked? What if we can't get in? What if there is too many people?

What if you just focused on the present. What if you just focus on what's right in front of you.

Nathan stop!

Dad, Drive faster!

We gotta get outta this city.

Look I don't know how fast this storm is coming or what direction it's going.

You're gonna kill us.

Just everybody shut up! I need to think.

Honey he's not gonna kill us. I know your scared. You just gotta be quiet. Just shut up.

This is bad.

At this moment, what are believed to be tornados or hurricane are causing

Massive distraction across the state.

Look, I'm too old to be reporting this kind of news.

Get me back in the studio please.

Conditions are getting worse. I've never seen a storm this magnitude.

Oh god!

She just got hit!

We need to get to higher elevation. We'll be outta the storm then.

We'll be fine.

This is so bad.

Dad, this is not good.

This is not good.

It's gonna be fine.

Dad! Look!

Hold on!

Is everybody okay?

I'm gonna throw up.

Dad. Dad what was that?

Can we go home now?

Go home? Did you not see the trees and the cars coming at us.

We're gonna be safe here. Okay?

That was some pretty sick driving dad.

I don't ever want to do that again.

Dad. Dad what was that?

We're not going to be safe in this building.

Severe storms batter the Southwest United States.

The government has issued a State Of Emergency for the following states:

New Mexico, Texas and Arizona.

Evacuate lowland towns and cities as soon as possible

And head for higher ground. Flood begin to ravage the south as millions of people are still

Without power. An estimated 2,300 homes have been destroyed

as the storm continues to spread.

There's nothing left.

Nothing.

We're still here.

The storm was unpredicted and the cause of it's existence is

Controversial among meteorological experts.

Evacuation to s high elevation is strongly advised by governmental officials.

Ssshh, I hear something.

Yeah, I heard it too.

What?

It's like a low rumble.

Yeah. Dad where's it coming from?

I'm not sure. I'm trying to pin point it.

Where should we go?

I vote is to go home. Yeah my vote's home.

Home. we need to go where the low pressure held the bay, so higher elevation.

Oh, how about the animal preserve. Is that high enough?

I don't know but we'll give it a shot.

If we go home I can get on the Internet...

Honey, there is no Internet!
