NYC: Tornado Terror  NYC: Tornado Terror is a 2008 Canadian made for TV disaster film. It stars Nicole de Boer, Sebastian Spence, and Jerry Wasserman. It premiered on Syfy on October 4, 2008, and is directed by Tibor Takács. The film is about global warming which causes the upper and lower atmosphere to separate so that their different movements generate huge electrical charges which causes huge electrical tornadoes to drop on New York City causing destruction and loss of life. Dr. Cassie Lawrence tries to stop the twisters as chaos ensues. NASA ignores the mayor who recommends following Dr. Lawrence's advice and use silver iodide on the atmosphere instead, which makes things worse, so it is down to our heroes to use a rebel scientist with his own makeshift rockets to use dry ice (frozen CO2). The problem is solved, but before the film ends, the same storm effects begin in Paris.
