What appear to be harmless little whirlwinds and dust devils turn out to be a precuror to something a lot more deadlier and ends up threatening New York City's very existence.
An unexplained, local split in the atmosphere causes a series of total unpredictable, yet devastating tornadoes. Rookie fireman Brian Flynn gets trapped in the underground sewage with his girlfriend, deputy mayor James 'Jim' Lawrence and climatologist Dr. Cassie Lawrence's niece Lori. Mayor Leonardo of New York initially refuses to pay proper attention to the phenomenon, a 'reelection threat', so the alert status remain too low for long. Atypical lightning discovered inide tornadoes adds unprecedented danger. The Lawrences and aeronautics renegade Dr. Lar Liggenhorn conceive a possible solution by launching rockets, but NASA's Dr. Quinn overrules them, imposing standard silver iodine.
