The fact that Dorothy V exists duringTwisters ' opening scenesuggests that Jo and Bill went on to find some succeeder after Oklahoma ’s devastating tornadoes from 1996.Twister ’s ending is where they finally negociate to make the machine oeuvre , which was a major exploitation for the scientific residential area . Bill designed the Dorothy devices to get better readings of tornado activity so there is more data on how they work , with the Bob Hope being that they could make admonition happen 15 minute before a twister begin .
The original Twister used Dorothy 1 through Dorothy IV

Why Twisters Doesn’t Fully Explain Jo & Bill’s Life After The Original
This Wasn’t Their Story
Dorothy V ’s creation is the only updateTwistersprovides about Jo and Bill ’s lives , with the moving picture otherwise choose to ignore the franchise ’s original leads . Bill Paxton ’s tragic passing in 2017 rein out the chances of seeing Bill again in the sequel . Without him , Helen Hunt was also leave out , potentially because this would only fire more question about Bill ’s status . This helpedTwisterskeep its focussing on the newfangled characters : Diasy Edgar - Jones ' Kate , Glen Powell ’s Tyler , and Anthony Ramos ' Javi . Since they are not directly connected to Jo or Bill , update on their animation were not natural to include .
It would have been possible for the subsequence to include some off - script remark about Oklahoma ’s old well - get laid storm chaser and how they paved the manner for the applied science and science on display . But those potential connections might have matte up garish to interview and only remind them further of Jo and Bill ’s absences . Director Lee Isaac Chung did explainwhy Helen Hunt is n’t inTwisters . He did not wish the idea of lend Jo Harding back in any part that did not admit her being an fighting storm chaser , so she was left out entirely .
Helen Hunt ’s Jo Harding does n’t appear in Twisters , but the film does feature a perfect setup for her to hark back in a possible Twisters 2 .

Twisters' Dorothy Connection Is Good For Jo’s Franchise Future
Jo & Kate Could Have A History
twister ' connection to Jo and Bill through Dorothy V could be a good sign of what is to derive , though . There could be many other versions of Dorothy that Jo and Bill created and loan to shoot for scientist like Kate . It is possible that Kate met Jo in the pastwhen it came time to utilise Dorothy V for her attempt to get a subsidization for her research . Although Kate at last loses Dorothy V , the success of her unexampled crack - taming formula could help bring the two back together .
Twisters ' endingincludes Kate about to go to New York to try and get grant approval for her research . There is a luck thatJo could board Kate ’s new projectto assist satisfy her life - long desire to help oneself mass be safer from crack . This could mean that Helen Hunt will retrovert as Jo in aTwisterssequel to join Kate , Tyler , and Javi in their partnership . Putting her back in the field would be the undecomposed way to add Jo back , especially if it mean working alongside the new cast of character .
