Category 7: The End of the World was a 2005 made-for-TV movie broadcast on CBS in two two-hour parts, on November 6 and November 13. It was a sequel to the network's previous miniseries, Category 6: Day of Destruction. - - Category 7 started exactly where Category 6 ended, but revolves mostly around a new character, Judith Carr, the new head of FEMA. The storm system that ravaged Chicago grows in strength and intensity, and storms like it are occurring around the globe such as Paris and Egypt. Additionally, it is found that an interaction between urban heat islands and "falling chunks of mesosphere" is what is fueling these storms. Simultaneously, a Christian fundamentalist emulates some of the plagues of Egypt in hopes of converting others before the end of the world, leading to the kidnapping of the first-born children of Judith Carr and other characters. - - The movie was filmed on location in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Visual Effects were provided by CBS Digital in Los Angeles. Among the hundreds of shots provided by CBS Digital were several utilizing Massive, the crowd simulation software pioneered for The Lord of the Rings trilogy.
