Suggested correction: Generally true, but the specifics are not straightforward. The problem lies in the interpretation of "purple." Depending on the source, the purple may actually be "amaranth red" (which is a reddish-purple, but may look more like fuschia) or "magenta" (which may appear to be a reddish-purple or a purplish-red). Magenta is an equal mixture of red and blue, so the result should look somewhere between red and purple. How these colors or blends are perceived on screen may vary with the tint setting.

Also, it may be possible that the more reddish-looking zuccetto was meant to be and match the choir's red.

The Night of the Twisters picture

Character mistake: The final scene in which the Hatches leave the overpass that they take shelter under in the final tornado has the family walking off as the sun has risen. Jack states in his narration that the tornadoes occurred over the span of three hours, thus creating an incorrect timeline as the events leading up to the tornadoes hitting Blainsworth take place in the evening; the Grand Island outbreak does take place over three hours, however all seven tornadoes touch down between 8:45 and 10:45 p.m.
