This statement is false. Brent asks Candy whether Oklahoma is a good destination for 'the next Vanderplop family vacation' and she replies 'I wouldn't recommend it Brent'. Brent is not taking his family on holiday to Oklahoma, nor would doing so be a good idea.

This statement is false. Candy tells Brent and Moira that 'there's a tornado on its way', meaning that the tornado is 'coming', or 'will arrive soon'.
