"Good morning, Newton! Slight warning for the entire day on weather; marginal risk of thunderstorms and/or hail. This goes out from here to Northtown, so make sure you're ready! Let's go get into the music."
As the nice tunes start rolling in, many citizens notice the abrupt cloud layer already covering most of the sky, along with the intense fog on the nearby island, Jeffom Island. This interrupts the nice summer night that was originally taking place, ending with people getting ready for the rough day--and possibly month. Soon enough the Charleston Cafė opens up, and it's rush hour. People are rushing in and out for their coffee or lattė to wake them up for the morning. It's a normal day in Newton, and it will be. Hopefully.
It's 9:34 A.M. and the sun is finally starting to break through the cloud layer. Citizens start considering the news wrong, but just then: "Welcome back. We have new reports of warm air coming in from the Gulf of Mexico, along with cool, dry air from Canada. Please consider this as we are issuing a tornado watch for this afternoon, starting at 2 P.M."
And now many people are getting their supplies ready to put in the basement. No, there may not be a tornado, but there also may be one. But, soon enough, around 12 P.M. everyone's back to normal.
But will it be a normal day?
BASIS Your character can be a citizen, or one in the group of storm chasers on the west side of the city. Soon enough the news will announce a big storm coming in--a mix of cool and dry air and a thunderstorm, is easily meaning that there has to be a tornado today. Perfect for storm chasing. But will the city be hard-hit? Let's hope not.
LOCATIONS [Downtown] Full of skyscrapers and resturaunts, this is the area to prove that Newton is a big city.
[Locton Park] A beauty of a place, Locton Park is the perfect hang-it-out place. There's even a snack bar!
[Charleston Cafė] Charleston is the original start of Newton, the small settlement that came up in 1882. It's not only a memorial for the creators of the city, but it also has a delicious lattė!
[Industrial District and Commercial District] Many creepy alleyways, along with a somewhat large amount of air and ground pollution. This is where the Newton Nuclear power plant lies.
[Residential District] Placed RIGHT next to Downtown, this place is definitely Suburbia. Hotels, luxury condos, nice houses, even mansions take the spotlight here.
[The Port] The Sebastian Bridge lies here, connecting Sebastian to Newton through the Seventina River. The Port always is full of cargo and resources to ship to Northtown, the small town nearby,

You said "but" too many times. Try using synonyms when they fit, like "al/though" or "then again," to make things seem less redundant.
The RP is short and sweet, which the elitists may not like, but in the state of RP, I dare say it's the perfect length. Not so long as to scare away the new guys, but also not so short and vague as to bore the experienced ones.
Did you really hand-write this? Obviously, you had to type it; I just want to know if that was sincere. I used to hand-write mine back in 2014, but I don't anymore.
In the OP, you kept saying that "there may be a storm, but there also might not be." Yet you keep hinting at it. If you were any more obvious about it, you'd be screaming it at the top of your lungs (hyperbole). I mean, foreshadowing is cool and all if you actually do it right- which, mind you, is tricky and difficult business, so don't be too discouraged- but when the title of your roleplay is SUPERCELL, it's a bit obvious that something weather-related is gonna happen.
That said, you hit my weak spot.

(It's fine. Let's start the RP.)
Johnston sat on the chair, taking his croissant with him. "I love these things," he says with opened eyes. As he takes a bite, he thinks about the things the news said today; mostly focusing on the fact that tornado weather is coming up. |

She sit on my computer chair, headphones on as a gaming video plays on her monitor. She sighs, leaning back in the chair as the video nears the end. |

The video ends, the end card coming up as the outro song plays. She is atisfied with the video and hits the 'upload' button. While the video uploads, she checks the weather reports on her phone. It states that there is a chance for tornados. At the news, she perks up a bit. This is her chance to actually chase one.
She rises from the chair and heads downstairs to her custom built garage that houses her chase car: a Scania T730 8x2*6. She opens the bonnet and checks over the Cummins V8 engine she installed. She notices some bolts are loose on the engine block cover, so she garbs a wrench and tightens them. |

Stephanie was in some random starbucks, drinking her cappuccino a few sips at a time. Apparently, a few hours after this afternoon, there will a tornado watch, but Stephanie was hardly worried. She doubted it, these warnings were never really accurate in the first place, so what would make this time different?

Johnston was speedwalking down the street to get home, as his favorite TV show was gonna be on soon. He also had to watch the news. He took the shortcut through Locton Park. |

(thanks c:) Acacia lay on the couch of her living room,watching TV and channel surfing. A huge bag of Classic Lays chips lay by her along with a cream-filled donut and a small Coke. She usually didn't eat this much junk food in one sitting, but she let this time slide. She took a bite out of her cream filled donut and a sip of her coke as she lazily surfed through the channels. |

| Johnston was finally home, as soon as he could he put his jacket on the hanger; his bag on the counter; and himself on the couch, watching the news. "Tornado watch, eh? Nice." He continued listening for a while. |

| Acacia stopped surfing through the channels for the moment while she stuffed her face with chips. Ironically, the channel she stopped at was the News channel. She was barely paying attention to it, for she was more focused on eating her junk food. She perked upwards once she heard the words, "Tornado Watch". "Woaahh!!" She gasped as she focused on the TV screen. |

| Johnston got up to get food, as he was hungry from the long walk. He made himself a sandwich then went back to listening. "Perfect weather for a tornado;" he said. |

After Stephanie was finished with her coffee, she decided to go ahead and walk back to her own home. She took her bagel with her, and decided to eat it through the trip. It shouldn't take long, as her home was close by.
