All the tornadoes depicted in Twister were fictional. The F5 in the 1969 opening sequence was not stated to hit Wakita and was likely set somewhere east of Hennessy. The town of Wakita has never been hit by a tornado

In the movie twister was there ever a tornado or tornado scene played in Ada OK?

No. Ada is never mentioned and the only town portrayed in the movie is Wakita.


What day was Wakita Oklahoma's F5 tornado in the movie twister in the beginning during the first scene?

No date is given. It is only said to be June 1969. No such tornado actually occurred; it was only in the movie.


In the movie twister where was each Storm located including the first F5 tornado in the beginning of the movie with young Jo before they started chasing storms?

In most cases specific locations are not mentioned, but some information can be gleaned. In the opening scene, Jo's father appears to become concerned when the TV weatherman mentions northeastern Kingfisher County. If this is their location it would likely put them somewhere east of Hennessey. Oklahoma County, which includes Oklahoma City, is also mentioned, but these two areas are not adjacent so it was likely a separate storm. At the start of the first chase the navigator mentions Roger's Creek, which might put part of the chase in southeastern Dewey County, about 65 miles northwest of Oklahoma City. In going toward the second tornado of the chase, Jo puts their goal "north east of 81." This likely refers to US Route 81, which runs north-south through the state from Kansas to Texas. After that tornado it is mentioned that the group is close to Wakita, which is relatively close to Route 81 in Grant County in Northern Oklahoma. It is unclear where the F3 that destroys the second Dorothy probe is. Location names are difficult to hear clearly. The town Dusty mentions does not appear to exist. The TV broadcast seems to mention Washita County. The penultimate F4 tornado, of course, strikes the town of Wakita in Grant County. The final F5 is mentioned as starting to form 25 miles south of Wakita, which would put its start near Hillsdale in Garfield County, but does not specify where it is in the final scenes. However, the tornadoes in the movie seem to move northeast as its typical of tornadoes in the U.S.

Is the movie twister based on true events?

No. Twister is loosely based on the lives of storm chasers but it is not based on any real events. The closest thing in the movie to real events is the Dorothy probe, which is based on a tornado probe called T.O.T.O., which scientists developed in the 1980s.
