7" hurricane, obliterating anything in its path. The force of the storm is so massive, that a category 7 could potentially cause a global catastrophe, possibly leading to the apocalypse. Cast Randy Quaid as Tornado Tommy Dixon Gina Gershon as FEMA Director Judith Carr Cameron Daddo as Dr. Ross Duffy Robert Wagner as Senator Ryan Carr Tom Skerritt as Colonel Mike Davis Shannen Doherty as Faith Clavell Adam Rodriguez as USAF Pilot Ritter Lindy Booth as Brigid Sebastian Spence as FSP Agent Gavin Carr Nicholas Lea as Monty Meeks James Brolin as Donny Hall Swoosie Kurtz as Penny Hall Noam Jenkins as Evan Suki Kaiser as Gayle Duffy James Kirk as Stuart Carr Rachel Skarsten as Lyra Duffy John Kapelos as Jim Roberts Kenneth Welsh as Chief of Staff Alan Horst Production The miniseries was produced by von Zerneck/Sertner Films, which also produced Category 6. It was filmed at various locations around Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada and the Canadian air force base 17 Wing was used for the fictional version of Biloxi, Mississippi's Keesler Air Force Base. Air force members were tapped as extra by the production company to play the United States Air Force members seen during the film. The air force base commander noted that the filming helped to boost the local economy, due to the $600,000 in salaries generated during filming, but did not cause interfering with operations or security at the base. David Price, the weather man for CBS's The Early Show who was given a cameo role in Category 6, returned for another cameo in Category 7. In this film, Price appears in a brief scene as a reporter who questions the character Judith Carr about bringing her former lover, Dr. Duffy, in to help with the storm issue. In an interview for his own show, Price said it took him a lot of practice to deliver his "crucial line" just right, with it taking four hours to shoot the brief scene. Director Dick Lowry jokingly noted that his biggest mistake in the film was giving Price the key line in that scene.
