Oddly enough, my daughter and I planned a trip to Eldora this summer to visit the house but due to a bout of heat stroke we were unable to go and so our upcoming tour included a stop there in less than a week. Now the movie does not seem like just a movie...The team is out on that old road now by the house.

Eldora Trivia
At the end of the movie Twister, Helen and Bill have raced through a cornfield, struggled to find shelter, and finally have survived the tornado by strapping themselves in a pump shed which is ripped away from over their heads. A young farm family emerges from a storm cellar as our heroes collapse in each other's arms. Remember? That scene was filmed in Eldora and the house that family "lived in" is still there on the outskirts of town.
