There!
Come!
Is that... mom?
Liam!
What is it?
7 Hours Earlier
... a powerful bang and roaring house...
... Chicago, New York and Washington DC...
... some of the lights have been followed by huge light flames...
Good morning, everyone.
Trees and power lines are pure mine fields...
... Chicago, late on Sunday...
... the strength of the hurricane, the winds are hurricane in category one with winds against...
... over seven states, at least 14 are confirmed dead...
... a powerful sound like a gun shot...
... the smell has shaken all my amazed neighbors...
Meteorological Institute
I have specified assumptions that are not supported by evidence.
A revision with quantitative data that supports hypothesis-
- will give the research good odds to be approved.
What assumptions?
Three variables, for example.
It was inconvenient to isolate and test them separately.
- We are doing a mathematical experiment. - Searched stuff can not cost money.
And the risk does not go on with this research?
Nigel, I have collected data for over a year now.
Under 60. Southern latitude.
The area has had low pressure for over four decades.
The chance of an atmospheric shift that would catastrophically increase the storms...
Jamie. You do not have the evidence that supports it. Do you understand?
I look forward to your follow-up.
Have a good holiday!
You know the storm system on the way to the northwest from Wisconsin?
Yes, there are cabins in Chisholm, 64 kilometers south of its course.
Hi. I heard that. I'm sorry.
Yes.
I keep my eyes open for those alert signals while you're gone.
You mean that the atmospheric pressure makes the sky darker?
You want some free. Distance gives perspective sometimes.
Do you know what you are right?
- You must have a proper holiday. - Yes. The first since the honeymoon.
Have fun.
- Kylie? Can I come in? - A moment. I'm almost ready.
- We will take ten minutes. Pack now. - Ten minutes. I have packed.
Why are you angry with a couple of days with my family?
No, I do not have my phone. I'll call if I can. Hello?
- All in order? - Yes.
- Wash. We're going to ten, okay? - Thanks.
Do not leave food in the room. I do not want to hunt for the smell.
- Fast food never gets bad. - Not the paper either. Eat it too.
When do you come with grandmother?
In the afternoon or tomorrow early. Depends on how she has it.
Do you have a favor? Bring your sister out there upstairs. Employ her.
- As you want, mom. - Thanks.
- Do it while you can. - That's the plan.
- What are you doing? - Controls the universe.
- Can you send me a message? - It does not work like that.
Checks only through threat about mass destruction.
Lovely, my friend.
Hi. Perfect timing.
Much easier to get out on time when the kids pack themselves.
Not for me. I have to ask Kylie ten times before she hears.
- You have the gift. - No, I have a look.
I know you're joking and it still scares me.
- Can you drive? Are you sleeping tonight? - Yes, I'm fine.
- Kylie, not in front, ok? - Why not?
Megan is...
- Should she join? - Yes.
Ky. Can you give us a few seconds, Kylie?
- Oi, Jamie... - I called you. Leave a message.
When does she come? Today?
Yes, we'll pick her up now. Do you have a problem with that?
Tomorrow we're going to celebrate dad's memory, just for that reason, mom and I come.
It's one day, Jamie. She can come on monday.
I called twice. Leave messages.
- Did you ask? - what?
Did you ask me that was okay? It is not.
You did not call back. I assumed it was okay.
Okay, Jamie.
Charlie, I've been together with Megan for almost a year.
I'm so glad you can count to one. I had forgotten, after 15 years.
This is silly, Jamie. Do you know how easy this could be?
- I. Called. - Communicate! It helps!
I want to move from home.
Time to go.
Wait, give me the phones. Both. Their mother and I have a deal.
- The President! - Wait, Liam. Megan must...
Same as that.
Good times.
- Do not forget my olives... - I have them. Go now.
- How many days are we gone? - no more than two.
We become many. Wondering if the food ranges.
We will never get there if you do not pack. I want to go today.
- Do not forget about the pixel. - Okay. Thanks.
You, Ky. Why do not you tell Megan about your science project?
Ok.
I did a science project.
Our science project relates to local recycling.
Donations from the fish factory. Answer your question, no dissection.
Nasty, but when we dissected rats, cut a boy off his tail...
-... and had it as a tie for a week. - Fashionable, tie and perfume in one.
- He seems fun. - Take him to the exam ball.
I'll soon dissect a cowboy. May be my coursage.
- Kylie, it's sick. - Liam...
It's sick. Should I apologize for that?
- Yes. - Kylie, would you like to apologize?
No.
Deleted.
Then we go.
- You could have been a little more enjoyable. - This is fun!
A devastating lightning struck 45 km away from a storm north of the Saginaw-
- and hit a number of power lines and a young man who was nearby.
He died tragically on the spot.
- Who are you calling? - Jamie.
You can not do anything about it now.
- Hello? - Hello.
- Are you going to take her on our excursion? - We are talking about this later.
No, we're talking about it now. Mom did not even meet her.
- Hello? - I drive. Should not use the phone.
- It's a family tradition, Jamie. - We're talking about it tonight.
So you have to bring her with.
- Ok. Good bye. - Jamie?
- You are pampering yourself. - Thanks for the ongoing comment.
- The only thing that runs is the temperament. - Hi, Jamie here. Leave a message.
Release it.
- It's 53 km, not 45. - Are you sure?
- Okay, thanks. - There is a new record of 5 km.
Top. America loves to beat records.
Lara here.
Randall here. A lightning came from clear sky.
- It went north over 58 km. - 58?
- Just. I keep you informed. - Thanks.
- Dirt! - OMG!
- Are you ok? - Yes. Are you?
Charlotte, back into the car! Charlotte!
- Close the window! - Why?
If we hit the window, the power enters the car.
- We have rubber tires. - A myth. The car is a Faraday cage.
- A what? - A cage with conductive surface.
The bodywork is metal so if there is no hole, pass the flow outside.
- Jamie has taught me too much about it. - Thank goodness for that.
Megan, on the mountain we lose mobile coverage...
-... then use it now if you need to. - Okay. Thanks.
- So she may use her phone? - Come on, Ky...
With a joke, daddy.
Charlotte and I decided that the kids did not use the phones this weekend.
- How old were you when you got one? - I was 11, Liam 13.
Oh, it feels young.
- Do you like it? - Having a phone?
Having constant contact with friends. Can not escape.
Last year net harassment increased by 88%.
I have never been harassed, so I like it.
Good.
Hi, it's Jamie. I can not answer. Leave a message.
Hi. Jamie, two boys were killed by a lightning in Duluth.
This is serious. Keep the kids in. Call me.
... it was not discovered until the roommate came home and called 112.
When the car arrived. He was all dead.
Today's forecast does not have...
Can you text him? "Turn on the news. It's serious. Call me."
... lightning from clear sky. All within the last hour.
The number of people killed is unknown and people are welcome.
- If you have to travel somewhere... - The text message does not come through.
- It's hot up here. - It quickly expires.
- Liam! - Hi!
- Come up here. - How bad is that up?
Not as disgusting as down there.
- I do not even like these. - Yes you do.
Receive!
- I thought it would burn down. - Everything in life is not a parable.
- But it took some bank. - So everything in life is a parable.
- What do you want to do? - Nothing.
Get up here so Dad gets upset and uncomfortable with Megan.
- She's not that bad. - Do you like her now?
No. But she's nice and... I do not know.
"Do you like to have phones?" As if we were a human subspecies.
Ok. Before first, nobody will ever call you human.
And she could have been a lot worse.
Do you daddy talk to me about her? Do you swear?
I swear. Mom wanted us to do "activities" together.
But nothing from dad.
I can say that mom asked me take care of you too.
- What did she say? - That you should not be too busy.
Ok. One, not English. And what?
- "I've never been harassed." - I do not have that.
But who says that? As if I should say I have never been hungry.
You have not.
I know, but you do not say it to someone starving.
So you think Megan was harassed? I do not do that.
And dad does not care because he would not realize if he was harassed.
- And you like to be harassed. - If you can not join them, leave it alone.
- Anytime, I'm tracking. - what?
Wait until you see this.
Did you check the vertical temperature profile?
No.
I'm going to check.
- Liam! Liam! - Yes?
If dad drives us to the bike path, I will join.
- Why? You hate to ride a bike? - Not today.
Then I do not have to go with Dad and Spy to the waterfall.
It's like that. I'm not going to the bike path.
- I'm going to town and call Krista. - Your girlfriend!
"I miss you like that, it has been three hours."
- There's something you need to know about me. - okay?
Yes. I... hate waterfalls.
You can only get me there if you carry me. Sparkling and screaming.
- You will not go there? - That is right.
- I thought you would... - It's about Kylie.
She's just a teenager. It's a phase that you said.
- It was retrospective. - Yes.
Jamie, I said I was grateful that my parents did not hold together - for the sake of children. That they divorced when they did.
But it did not feel like that. It felt bad.
My parents became confused, unreliable beings.
Beings are a bit hard.
Kylie teaches that everyone can be unreliable, even mom and dad.
- That's what I do not want. - But we all learn that in the end.
If she is to move on, must learn to trust herself.
You can not do that for her.
I'm here all weekend, I hope she can forget about it a little and enjoy herself.
That's not true. She likes you.
Jo.
Go to the waterfall, you two. Listen to her. Ok?
I will. Heard about all the words she wants to say to me. Okay.
I'll try. Thanks.
Even thank you.
- Kylie! Are you ready? - Yes.
Where is Megan? Is she soaking?
- She wants to stay here. - Why?
She wants to read and relax.
Come on, then we go! It will be fun. Hurry!
If the earth tries to neutralize through positive lightning, -
- the crust has increased its negative charge.
- Either the earth core has increased pressure... - It does not have it.
... or so the proton flow from the sun has changed.
Yes...
Hi. This is Jamie. I can not answer. Leave a message.
I love being out here. Is not that the top?
Do you want to go first? You walk right behind me.
I want us to have time to eat and drink when we get there...
- Printed. - Kylie.
- If time is stressing, turn now. - No. We will do this.
I take the lead. Try to keep up.
- What the hell was it? - What are you doing? Come in!
Hello...
The fire is still out of control. Three blocks have been evacuated.
Avoid taking it home.
There was another shooting solution from car today. Probably gang-related.
- Do you know the smell? - what?
A metallic burnt scent.
It's called forest, dad.
Where should everyone sleep tonight?
Mom and grandmother in the bedroom, and I brought a tent.
- Will Mommy? - Of course.
- She seemed a bit cursed. - Then she will be guaranteed.
- Did Megan know that Mom would come? - Yes, she looked forward to it.
- You are kidding. - Kylie, it holds.
What? Tomorrow would be about grandfather. A weekend not about her...
Megan is here. Ok? It's the last thing I want to hear about it.
- Please. - Thanks.
- No luck with your family? - No.
- What did you do out there? - We did not know about the storm.
- Everybody is in the cabin? - No.
My sister and dad were to walk to the river we usually go to.
They should be back now?
Do not think so. They should have dinner there and go back at sunset.
Thousands in the twin city area are without electricity.
It is unclear how many have died or been injured.
We know there are 16 confirmed dead and close to 30 injured.
- I'll start with dinner... - No. Thanks for everything, but I have to go.
- Go where? - To the river. I have to.
No, you can not go out there.
- Can you wait here a little? - I guess so.
Breath. Drink some water.
- You do not want to go to the viewpoint? - No.
It's over there.
As you like.
- I thought we should go soon. - about a block
Nigel Green is with us today.
What is the difference between positive and negative lightning?
Or are they alike when they hit down?
Positive lightning rarely drops because of the of the distance they must travel.
- He works with my daddy. - Meteorologists?
Yes. He is certainly a killer bag.
... Try to neutralize by to hit a target with the opposite charge.
An increased negative charge in the crust...
He really does: "Relax, citizens, we have it under control."
Should we just let him go?
If I drive your boy up and something happens to him, it's our responsibility.
- Charlotte, could you be more careful? - We're almost there. It does not matter.
Well, if you drive off the road.
- 15 km slower makes no difference. - It can do that.
Kylie! You must come and look at the view! Heaven is so great!
Take a picture!
I can not stay here anymore.
I do not understand what you can do up there.
Do not know. Maybe they need me.
Your three weatherproof up there with a bike, what does it help?
I do not know.
- Are you coming? - Can you drive?
- Thank goodness, we did it. - Not thanks to your driving.
Kylie?
- Kylie! - what?
- Away from the water! - Let me go!
Dad! Dad!
- Kylie? Liam? - Charlotte! Hello.
- Where are the children? - All went out. Sorry, I am...
- Where did they go? - Liam is riding a bike.
- Kylie and Jamie are on a hike. - Where?
Liam said something about a bike path.
Kylie and Jamie went enough to the river. Nice to meet you...
- Do the walkie talkies? - I do not think so.
- What's up? - A heavy storm is on its way.
- On the way here? - Anytime.
I would not have left if I were you. You can be struck by lightning.
Lynet?
Dad! Dad!
- Kylie. Are you unharmed? - Daddy! Goodbye, sorry.
- It's ok. - Your leg!
- Wait. I'm ok we have to go. - No.
Did you see where the lightning came from?
It was just a thunderstorm 65 km north of us.
65 km. We have to go to the cabin.
We have to go. I need my logs. Get my logs.
- Some more? - Jamie?
- No. - Secret, I know.
And our duty to to protect the public?
We identify areas with much phosphate or sulphate-
- which attracts positive lightning.
Then we ask people to avoid those areas during thunderstorms.
- And that's all? - Yes. It's our job.
Megan, you drive to the river. Take this. The signal is bad here, but it keeps.
- Can you write a directions? - Yes. What are you going to do?
I take the bike path. Become here if someone comes back.
- I do not know what's going on. - No one knows.
- Do you know how much gasoline Jamie has? - Yes, we thought about the road.
- Did he take his backpack? - Yes.
The keys are safe in his backpack.
Get it on. I'm looking for Liam, then to the river.
- I join. - It's not necessary.
Charlotte, Megan should join you.
Get it on...
Heck!
If I walk in front of you and you lean toward me?
No, I want that you go back to the cabin.
- Be Megan Call Lara Granger... - I'm not leaving you!
You must. We do not have time for that I go there. Are you coming now...
Dad! I'm not leaving you!
Give me the note pad in the backpack. You must get away from here.
You must seek shelter. Here.
Give this to Megan. ok? Tell her...
I'm not leaving you! We go together!
- You do not listen to me! - You never hear!
Okay. We're walking. We must leave.
Why did not you stay with your family?
I felt like taking the bike.
I did not know they should go. And it became strange in the cabin.
Why?
My parents walked apart two years ago.
We have not been here since. So grandfather died last year.
We have this tradition which is a big deal.
Grandma and mom are coming.
Then Dad took his girlfriend and everything got strange.
Then I rode to town to call my... my friend.
- I think we should have arrived now. - Yes, this feels far.
- I could swing wrong. Shall we turn? - No! We are driving a little longer.
Liam!
- Did you see him? - No.
- He is not here. We must return. - You do not know! You have no children.
- If he is injured in the woods... - Charlotte, into the car!
Liam is not here. Nobody is here. If he is out there, you must find him.
Please.
Milly, that's Megan. We are by the bike path. Liam is not here.
No, we should rest longer.
We do not have time. Help me.
We go.
- I do not know if we can turn the page. - We have to!
It has only become narrower.
- Liam, I'm sorry for that. - It's not your fault.
- But you wanted to your family. - I know. But they manage.
They manage.
- Where does the lightning come from? - I have no idea.
Maybe we're going to wait out the storm here?
Ozone content has increased in all target areas.
- With how much? - Two PPM.
- Check the atmospheric pressure. - I have requested a sample.
Is it Liam's bike?
- Yes. - Do you know who his bike is?
- It's my son's bike. - Have you found them?
Found Who? It's my son's bike. Is he unharmed?
Your son took my daughter, stole our car and drove to the mountain!
Your daughter?
You must help me find them!
Enter.
Although Duluth and Minnesota are not longer within range of the storm, -
- Meteorologically all in northwestern Minnesota to be in.
- The security can be guaranteed. There are now 38 perpetrators and over 150 injured.
This is full-bodied.
The thunderstorm that lambed all this weekend does not seem to diminish.
Charlotte? Charlotte, do you hear me?
Charlotte, if you hear me, nobody has returned.
Oh, my God!
Jamie, what is it? What happened?
That spark. I did not know what to do.
- I have to sit up. - Here.
- Is Liam back? Where is everybody? - I do not know.
Tell me. My husband has been out there for the last hour.
And he has not found...
- My son can not even run. - Bailey has never done anything like that.
- It does not have Mother Nature either. - He was going to ride a bike. If we did not drive.
- Bike where? - Beware of the storm, I suppose.
- To the cabin? - No, to the river.
Where were they driving?
Yes. My husband has been along each river in the area.
And he has not found them.
- What does your car look like? - A black pickup.
We will be back with your daughter. Come on.
No AT change?
The ozone has increased and the sky, but no connection with atmospheric pressure.
So what is it?
Nature's whims.
Obviously there is a connection between the ozone increase and the storm, -
- but we will not find it if we waste time with this.
Amazing that I did not brought my computer.
Mom, are you there?
I'm with Dad and Grandmother, we're going to the hospital, but everyone's fine.
I'm trying.
Are everyone in?
- They must have already gone. - No, we had seen them.
- Maybe they have returned to the cabin. - We had met them.
Milly, are you there?
You are right. Unless they did not swing up against the cabin.
In case they hear us.
Megan and Charlotte here, we think Liam has gone to the cabin, we are going back.
- Still no cover. - Come on. Yes!
- Daddy... - What?
- Are we almost at the hospital? - I have to call first.
- Your leg must be checked. - We'll be there soon.
You mentioned your grandfather. What was the for family tradition he started?
Grandfather had this crazy philosophy that you always need a climbing rope-
- With you out in nature.
A few years ago he walked with my dad who forgot the rope.
Grandfather is straightforward and forces him to go back and retrieve it.
To make sure that he has learned the homework, -
- He cut a piece of the rope and tie it around a tree. That's it.
Wait, are you the family that ties the rope around that tree?
Yes, how do you know that?
Fun! I know the tree. People in the city are talking about it.
- You are famous. - Cool.
- What happened then? - Nothing special.
We just continued to do it. Every year, same three, same yellow rope.
- It's cool. - Yes.
Thanks.
- What are you up to? - I'm fine.
- And driped? - Liquid.
Lay down and get the liquid. Jamie... lay down.
- The doctor told you to get well. - Yes. The weakness is only temporary.
- Hi. Are you okay? - I can not get mom.
Mom and Liam manage.
Continue trying from the higher floors. Better coverage there.
Do you have to work?
Ky, this time it's a lot more than just my job.
- Get it easy now. - Thanks. Thank you, Milly.
The Fank! Where is my phone?
... burned holes through the block, and killed a family of four.
Eyewitnesses described it as a burning bullet of white fire.
St. Louis County. Same town that sent it there the movie.
- It looks like bullet. - Twice in the same city on the same day?
And what were previous listings about the composition of the earth?
- Silicone, lime... - And iron.
Can this ballline be the same as did it?
It usually travels at 24 km / h and can last up to 15 seconds.
If the house had been here, it is possible, otherwise...
Hi. Are you okay? Looks like you are in a hospital.
I'm fine. Tell me what you have up to now.
The ozone concentration has increased in all areas of lightning from clear skies.
- No difference in atmospheric pressure. - How much did it increase?
Two parts per million.
Ok. At what height did you measure the atmospheric pressure?
Sea level.
I will send you a screenshot. It was an addition to my proposal.
It was not included in my study.
Reduced air pressure at 10600 meters height-
- while ozone content is reduced by 2 to 3 PPM.
Did you check the pressure at other heights?
No. Lara, give me the barometer between 4500 and 12000 meters.
Coming.
- Do you see that? - Yes. What is it?
- What the hell was it? - Do not know! Let's get out!
Liam!
He is not there.
Megan...
It's Liams.
There!
The air pressure has fallen over 6000 meters in height.
Reduced air pressure, pang! Fireworks. Where is Nigel?
He reports it.
Coal lines are too far apart to be the same.
- I know that. - It can be a coincidence.
But if not, there are certainly more.
Give me the damage report from St. Louis. Everything that may have been caused by ballooning.
- Do you think that's the target area? - It's no coincidence.
Hello, can I get a report...
- We must enter. Away from it. - First, okay?
Stay as close to the ground as you can.
Come!
Bailey! Bailey, come on!
At three, ready?
En... to... three!
Race!
You can do it!
Ready? We'll get out of here. Do you see that? Now!
Have you seen the news? Amazing, Jamie.
- It is burning on a scrap shop. - Which may have been started by bullet.
- The scratch can have a negative charge. - And there are phosphates and sulphates.
With negative charge.
Positive lightning can travel 80 km, towards the most vulnerable areas.
I have the surveillance movie.
We are almost coming!
Caution! Come on. Yes! Inn! Inn!
- They may have entered here. - Yes, it's a scrap trade.
- They may have sought shelter. - Yes.
I do not know what to do. Should I continue to try?
- These are stupid, they do not work. - Milly got hold of Megan earlier.
I just think... that they do not answer.
Do not do it.
Your mom knows more about lightning than most of my colleagues.
Now she may not hate me because I did not hold my mouth.
Come here.
The attack lasted for 40 minutes. The hits with shorter intervals.
- The last 15, within 7 seconds. - Seven seconds?
We evacuate all scrapers.
- Some high-risk systems near them? - Pantar Chemical.
On the northeast coast.
We request barometer readings in all areas with thunderstorms in the forecast.
- And reduced air pressure? - Over 9000 meters.
We have three days.
Jamie, there is a scrapbook in Chisholm.
- It comes. We must get away from here. - You are right.
Ready?
Is that... mom?
Liam!
What is it?
Liam!
- Where are you? - It's Liam.
Mom...
Mommy, we have to get away from here. Metal is everywhere.
- Are you unharmed? - No! I think my arm is broken.
- We'll take you from here. - Hurry up!
Keep up, it falls.
- Jamie, think about what you do. - I must go.
The second scraper was destroyed.
You have never filmed a bullet. I have a spectrograph in the car.
But why you?
You heard them. We can only prevent this with more information.
- We found Liam... - Thank goodness.
- We are on the scraper. - They are on the scraper.
- I love you. - And I you.
Dad is on my way. Are you listening? Dad comes!
It's too heavy.
Liam is stuck. We need something to go with.
Pappas tau baki.
My arm is stuck. Where's Dad?
Here. Put on the stopwatch on my phone.
- When was the last kuleline? - Do not know. Four, five minutes ago.
We have five minutes before all blows.
You have to help... my arm... daddy! my arm!
You are out in a minute.
Drag on three! Megan, we need you. One two Three! Drag!
We must go now. This is a target zone.
The lightning will shut down all the time. We must get away from here!
- Wait. I think I have an idea. - Dad, we have to hurry!
There is so much metal here. The place is a giant leader.
If I can technically tie the lights to this area...
-... we can have time to escape. - How?
Does the theory project this Jone generator a beam against the sky...
-... that attracts the lightning. - What does that mean?
It's an experiment I was working on. I'm right, it attracts lightning.
- Ok, what can we do? - Here. Take the ferrous fluid.
Open the lids and pour it out three meters from the car.
Charlie, start vaning. Make sure everyone is included. You gotta get out!
- You then? We will not leave you. - I meet you at the entrance.
All ready.
- Kylie? Are you there? - Mom. Mom!
Kylie, everyone is here. Everyone is unharmed.
We are coming to the emergency now. Liam broke...
Au, au, arm.
Hi, Megan.
I...
Thanks.
The scientist.
Charlie. The toughest girl I know.
Never change.
You are a great dad.
Come on, then we go in.
