Movie Reviews of Category 6 - Day of Destruction
Movie Review: Realistic Film Depicting the Future and Problem w/ Politics
Summary: 5 Stars
As a science teacher, a weather enthusiast, and a beginning stormchaser, I am proud to comment on the reality of the implications that were foreshadowed in this made for t.v mini-series.
I know there are pure weather scientists that will turn down this movie because the idea of 2 major weather systems combining to create a Category 6 storm over the city of Chicago is unrealistic.
However, the main point of this movie is that it's goal is to educate people about the potential for the type of problems that can occur if and when, if not already, our weather system starts to change.
The movie did a great job in depicting the role of such weather events on the government, power corporations, individual families, stormchasers, the media, and the meteorology dept.
What makes this movie different, and from my point of view more enjoyable than A Day After Tomorrow, is that it incorporates everyday life and is based on global warming. It doesn't mention that there is an Ice Age that is just beginning as does a Day After Tomorrow.
This year alone we have seen that there are many more supercells that have formed across the plains and midwest with winds in excess of 74mph, which is hurricane force winds. While some of these storms may not have touched down as a tornado, the main emphasis is that weather is currently becoming more violent than it once has. As a society we really have to start thinking about our actions and what the implications are on our environment.
Is 2006 going to be any different than 2004 or 2005 in terms of hurricane intensity and strength? I have personally survived Hurricane Katrina this year being in Waveland, Mississippi and I can tell you this is a serious issue that is going to affect our country for the next several decades.
Hurricane Rita had at one point pressure under 900mb with sustained winds of 175-185 mph with gusts over 225mph. This is the equivalent to an F3 Tornado the size of Georgia with a tropical storm wrapped around it. Are we going to keep being naive and believing that these storms are not going to start coming inland? What will happen when sea surface temperatures will rise even more and the storms don't weaken before they hit land? Will there be 60 ft storm surges?
Everyone should start paying attention to such phenomenon and hope that our government starts to take a serious look at how and where our populations are developing within the U.S
