Twister (1996)

Question: In the end, after Bill and Jo survived the F5 tornado, why does Bill point out the house that was standing, which the tornado did not destroy? Was that a reference to anything?

Answer: Earlier in the film, Jo says to Bill that he doesn't understand what it's like to have a tornado destroy your house and family, but not another, as if the tornado did that by choice. He even says to her, "Is that what you think it did?" Seeing the lone house at the end made him finally understand why she thought that.

Answer: That a category 5 tornado destroyed everything but the house. It's a million to one shot, but it has happened in real life.
