Cyclones were The Terror.
If they struck, they removed
entire buildings.
Wizard of Oz (1939)
scene with storm.
Aunt Em (shouts):
"Dorothy!"
MICHAEL PATRICK HEARN, WRITER :
Baum had a great sense of Transformation. Baum turns The Cyclone
into something POSITIVE.
Wonderful Wizard of Oz :
In the middle of a cyclone the air is generally still, but the great pressure of the wind on every side of the house raised it up higher and higher, until it was at the very top of the cyclone; and there it remained and was carried miles and miles away as easily as you could carry a feather.
MICHAEL PATRICK HEARN, WRITER :
It should have been something
so DESTRUCTIVE, devastating,
and yet that becomes Dorothy's way
of GOING to The Land of Oz.
Judy Garland - The Cyclone Scene - The Wizard Of Oz. 1939
