Dr. Jonas Miller works for Okla-Tech Severe Weather Research. He used to work at a lab at Muskogee State College in Oklahoma, but left when he got funding from corporate sponsors.
During the events of Twister (1996) played by Cary Elwes
Jonas and his team are following a storm when they are almost run off the the road by Jo and her team. They stop at a diner and while he is recorded by Kubrick, Bill attacks him and accuses him of stealing his design. Jonas then accuses Bill of stealing his design. When Jo's team leaves, Jonas has his team follow them. When Jo's truck is destroyed by a tornado, Jonas tells Eddie not to stop, but to keep on driving. He is later interviewed by TV Meteorologist 2 and explains how his technology will help predict tornadoes. While chasing a tornado, Bill warns Jonas to turn back, but Jonas ignores him. Jonas is then killed, when the tornado picks up his truck and flings it into the ground, causing it to explode.
