During the opening credits, really bad weather wrecks havoc in Seattle, Washington. This turns out to be footage from later in the film. "Nine hours earlier," an alert arctic outpost notices an "unidentified aerial phenomenon" in the Pacific Ocean. This very wicked storm's destination is Seattle. Folks at the "Disaster Management Agency" (DMA) can't figure out why this storm is so destructive. They have several theories about its origin. Some think it may be alien. Working at the DMA are space scientist Esai Morales (as Tom) and disaster manager Ona Grauer (as Emma)...
Mr. Morales has just moved to Seattle and is planning to marry Ms. Grauer. She tells him they will have to reconsider because their school-aged children don't get along. Morales' son Jared Abrahamson (as Wyatt) and Grauer's daughter MacKenzie Porter (as Chloe) instantly dislike each other. This stormy relationship parallels the titular "Seattle Superstorm". It's a typical, predictable TV movie. Events thrust the four characters into situations where they have an opportunity to bond. Meanwhile, the storm is threatening to destroy everyone and everything in range of the cameras.
**** Seattle Superstorm (3/31/12) Jason Bourque ~ Esai Morales, Ona Grauer, Jared Abrahamson, MacKenzie Porter
