Description:
The Virginia Tech Office of Emergency Management (OEM) and the VT Meteorology Club are hosting an evening of Tornado Awareness and Preparedness featuring an information fair and the movie "Twister" on Wednesday, March 6th in the Graduate Life Center Auditorium.

Twister, starring Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton, is rated PG-13. The movie, which has had a cult following since its 1996 release, follows storm chasers working together to develop an advanced weather alert system by placing themselves in the destructive path of violent tornadoes.

Each movie-goer will automatically be entered into a raffle to win a number of prizes, including a football signed by Coach Frank Beamer, an emergency preparedness kit, MAG flashlights, and weather radios, among other possible items. “Twister Trivia” will also provide the opportunity to win additional raffle tickets.

Schedule:
Information Fair: 6:30 pm
Movie Begins: 7:00 pm

The event is part of Virginia Tech's Tornado Awareness Month activities.
