Where was Twister filmed?

If you are a fan of the 1996 disaster movie Twister, you might be curious to know where it was filmed. The movie, directed by Jan de Bont and starring Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt, follows a team of storm chasers who try to deploy a device that can measure the inside of a tornado.

The movie features several spectacular scenes of tornadoes destroying buildings, vehicles and even cows. The movie was mostly filmed in the state of Oklahoma, where tornadoes are very common. Some of the locations used in the movie include:

• Fairfax and Ralston, where Bill meets his crew and chases the first tornado in a jeep.
• Kaw Lake, near Kaw City, where Bill and Jo encounter water spouts and flying cows.
• Wakita, where Aunt Meg lives and where the final tornado hits. The town was partially demolished for the movie, with the permission of the local authorities.
• Guthrie, where the drive-in movie theater scene takes place.
• Stillwater, near Oklahoma State University, where Melissa’s hotel room is located.
• Other small towns such as Ponca City, Pauls Valley, Maysville and Norman.
