New Line Cinema has purchased a screenplay for a found footage film called Category Six, Deadline reports.

Written by John Swetnam (who also wrote the upcoming found footage project Evidence), Category Six tells the fictional tale of a deadly tornado.

The title is a reference to the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale, which ranks the potential damage that can be done by hurricanes. Though the scale only goes through five, some scientists have recently argued that the list should be amended to include category six, which would mark the most catastrophic of storms.
