Synopsis:
After a freak tornado destroys Las Vegas, scientists determine that unusually destructive weather could be building over the United States. When a Category 5 hurricane forms over the Great Lakes and a band of "Force Five" tornadoes moves up the Midwest toward Chicago, the resulting collision of deadly weather fronts not only decimates great cities, it ultimately causes the entire North American power grid to implode, effectively leaving the United States without power for at least six months.
