Falsities in the Movie Twister

The movie depicts many falsities, one in which the way the debris is sucked in to the tornado. In the movie objects or debris is flung out of the tornado some of which includes farm vehicles, an eighteen wheeler oil truck, animals, and even houses. According to the National Weather Service, it is a fact that a tornado does not fling debris or objects out of its funnel.
