While at the arcade, 3 of his friends come up to him to remind him about going tubing over the weekend. The son tells his father that they are all going hiking instead of going tubing because Steve hates the water. Then at the gate that stops things from the ocean coming into the river, the gate is jammed and the gate operator goes down and tries to fix it. The shark then grabs him with his teeth and eats him. His partner reports that the operator is missing to the police but they can do nothing. That night, a bum named Sarge spots a shark swimming through the river and he runs in the bar and everyone laughs at him. The next day, Steven goes to find the sheriff.

The shark then knocks the lady off the jet ski and eats her. As the husband looks for her, the shark knocks him off the jet ski and eats him too. That night Steven goes to Sarge and asks him about the shark he saw. Sarge tells him about the shark and how he was in the navy and what he did when he was younger, then the Sheriff comes up to him and asks him to come with him. The Sheriff brings him to the body of the male jet skier and the sheriff now believes that the shark is actually in the river. The next day, some friends go out on the river on their pontoon boat. The shark then hits the boat and the hits it again knocking one of the friends off. The shark sinks his teeth into him and blood comes out of the friends mouth. Steve then gets a call from his wife telling him that she found out that their son was going tubing in the river. Steven tells his wife to call the police and that he is going to find their son.

L'histoire se déroule cinq ans après les événements de Sharknado 3. La tempête porteuse de requins tueurs est de retour et la cible des squales est à présent Las Vegas. Après avoir ravagé la ville, le Sharknado se déplace et frappe plusieurs états du centre des États-Unis, sans façade maritime, qui n'ont pas l'habitude des cyclones se formant au-dessus de la mer, mais plutôt des tornades continentales. En se déplaçant et frappant diverses installations (barrage Hoover, champ de pétrole, transformateur électrique, centrale nucléaire), la tornade change de nature en se chargeant de matières de plus en plus dangereuses : poussières, pierres, pétrole, feu, électricité à haute tension, et même radioactivité. Toute la famille Shepard, enfin réunie, va devoir unir ses forces pour en venir à bout.
