I wish that Max would’ve had the option to warn more people through the week that a tornado was going to destroy the bay. She’s able to warn the homeless woman, which is good, but it would’ve been nice to get that option for more then one character. In fact, I can think of ten characters I think would’ve been cool to tell to evacuate and in what circumstances they could have happened!
More Undercut
Kate If She Survives The Roof
When you meet Kate in the hospital in episode four, she'll tell Max that her family has invited her home to visit after her attempt. While she wants to see her family, Kate is unsure whether she's ready to talk to them about everything that happened, and many people in town still want to see her. As Max, you can tell her to stay in Arcadia Bay or suggest that she goes home and only talks when ready. If you tell Kate to leave, she's picked up by her Father during the vortex club party and narrowly misses the tornado.
I think it should be easy to tell Kate to leave town after you already saved her, so there’s no circumstances that could lead to Max not even getting the option to warn her.
Warren
After Max reunites with Chloe after her junkyard death, everything goes on as normal with Max convincing Chloe to follow her and give up her plans to take revenge for Rachel. However, what does change is that Max has an opportunity to text Warren to tell him to leave town.
She only gets this choice if you hugged/kissed him in the alternative timeline. If you just left, Max won’t warn him because she’s far more worried about Chloe. However, if you did show Warren platonic or romantic affection you’ll get the chance to text two things. Either “Leave town” or “Watch the weather and tell people to evacuate.”
If you tell him to leave town, he trusts Max’s judgement after all the weird weather and drives out of Arcadia Bay. If you tell him stay and watch the weather, it can be presumed that Warren was one of the first to spot the storm and perished telling people to evacuate.
Brooke and Daniel
For these two you can save them either separately or at one time.
To save them both at once, you'll need to tell Daniel to go to the Vortex Club party and accept Warren's movie invitation. Like in canon, they'll make a date to visit an art gallery, but unlike in-game, they'll leave Arcadia the same night of the Vortex Club party to get to their destination by Saturday.
But what if you don’t want to tell Daniel to attend the party or to accept Warren’s invitation? Well those are valid choices in a choice based game so let’s talk about how you can save them separately.
You can save Daniel if you allowed him to draw your picture and told him not to go to the vortex club party. Daniel will thank Max for being a good friend, and admit that he’s been thinking of taking a break from Arcadia Bay to get away from the bullying. Here Max can either tell him to stick it out in Arcadia Bay to beat the bullies, or encourage him to leave as soon as possible so he doesn’t have to deal with it anymore. If you tell him to leave then he’s long gone by the time the storm hits.
You can save Brooke by declining Warren’s invitation and convincing her to let you fly her drone. At the Vortex Club party she’ll be friendly talking to you since she doesn’t view you as a threat for Warren’s affection. There Max will be able to bring up the strange weather, and Brooke will admit that it scares her because science can’t explain it. Max can then say either “I’m sure it’ll be okay” or “Maybe your guts right.” If you tell Brooke it’ll be fine she’ll thank Max and go back to the party. If you say that her gut is right Max will imply that something is wrong and suggest that Brooke get out while she can. Brooke takes that advice and misses the storm.
Samuel And A Squirrel
If you want Samuel to survive you’ll need to go on a quest.
In episode three on campus, you can find an injured squirrel in the custodial room. Its leg will be hurt, but it's nothing that can't be fixed. If you alert Samuel to the squirrel, you'll get a brief cutscene where Samuel bandages its leg and puts it in a cardboard box to recover. Here he'll thank Max for looking out for his squirrels and admit that this entire week has felt off with the animals dying.
At this point, Max can say either, "I'm glad you're here to look out for them," or "Something feels evil about this week." If you tell Samuel you're glad he's there, he'll say that a part of him will always be on campus. If you tell Samuel something feels evil, he'll agree and say that Max knows more than anyone, so he'll take her word for it. He tells Max he's leaving the bay and assures her that the injured squirrel they saved will travel with him. When Max asks about the rest of the squirrels, Samuel tells her that he gets the sense Arcadia Bay isn’t after the squirrels, but the people that live there.
Alyssa
This one is simple! If protected Alyssa in each episode then you can tell Alyssa “This town is bad luck” at the Vortex Club party. She’ll take this seriously since Max seemed always knew when to protect her, and decide to leave town until Monday.
Evan
You can save Evan by exploring.
While you’re in the school at night during Episode 3, you can find a brochure for an art gallery opening on Saturday in the classroom. If you locate the paper then you can tell Evan about it during Episode 4, and he’ll respond with excitement. He’ll exclaim that he has to go and thank Max for letting him know. Therefore he’s safe from the storm.
Dana
You can save Dana by finding her pregnancy test.
At the Vortex Club she’ll tell Max that everything going on in her life has been a lot lately, and it’s all been overwhelming. Max can either tell her “I’m sure you’ll figure it out” or “Maybe you should take a trip.” If you tell her to take a trip she’ll think that’s a great idea and leave Arcadia Bay. But if you tell her to figure it out or don’t find the test then she’ll stay and die in the storm.
Taylor
To warn Taylor you’ll need to comfort Victoria, be kind to her, and not blame her for Kate’s suicide attempt. If you do that Taylor will view Max as a kind person and be willing to open up to her at the Vortex Club party.
Instead of dancing you’ll find Taylor sitting in a corner looking sad. If you ask her what’s wrong with all the above requirements met she’ll tell you that her Mom is in the hospital again. She’ll say that her Mother told her to stay and enjoy the party, but she’s worried and wants to visit her in the hospital outside Arcadia. As Max you can either tell Taylor to “Enjoy the party” or “Go to your Mom.” Telling Taylor to enjoy the party will end with her cheering up and going to dance. Telling Taylor to go to her Mom will convince her to leave Arcadia Bay.
Justin
During episode four on campus when Chloe talks to Justin, you’ll have the option to tell her to warn him that a storm is coming. Now this is going to be controversial...but this would be based on your Before The Storm choices. I know that Before Storm came out after Life Is Strange, but I’m making a fun post on the internet so let’s just pretend otherwise.
Justin will accept Chloe’s warning if you did the majority of these things in Before The Storm: Tell him to cover his weed smell, purchased weed from Frank, refused to empty your pockets, told Steph that Rachel is single (Because he’s into Rachel.), and did well in the play. You don’t have to do all of these things, just 3/5 of them.
If he accepts Chloe’s warning, Max will ask Chloe what she said and Chloe will jokingly respond “That weed is way better in Portland.” If Chloe’s warning isn’t believed then she’ll tell Max “Justin was a bust.” and leave it at that.

Samuel spent every night with me for weeks and every morning I was amazed to see him there and slightly afraid of doing something that would make him disappear again.
This morning I woke up to him smiling at me, but he made no move to get up and head to the hospital.
“Good morning. I took the day off.”
“Wait, you can do that?”
He laughed.
“Don’t sass me, woman! We need to talk.”
“Sorry. You’re right.”
“I’ve been thinking about where we go from here. I mean, we should probably decide what we’re doing and what’s going to happen next. What we even are now. Because I can tell you’re scared, and honestly, so am I.”
“You’re scared?”
“Of course I am. Freya, I love you. I’ve loved you for half my life. But you hurt me more than anyone else ever could. Divorcing you was the hardest thing I’ve done but you left me no choice. And now we’re here and I am terrified of giving you back that sort of power over me.”
I was afraid to ask, but I had to.
“Do you… do you want to stop this? Wait and see if you can trust me again? Because I can understand if you need more time. I love you, I really do, but I’m struggling to see how you can ever love me again after what I did.”
“Freya, I don’t get to choose whether I love you. I just do. I always did. You hurt me, yes. It was horrible, and it definitely left a scar. But I didn’t stop loving you. I can’t. I can, however, choose whether to trust you again or not.”
“But how can you simply trust that I’d never cheat on you again?”
He arched an eyebrow.
“Are you planning on cheating on me again?”
“No! No, of course not!”
“Then I guess I’ll just have to trust that.”
“Do you also trust that I love you?”
I almost added ‘this time’, but stopped myself. Samuel just smiled and hugged me to his chest.
“I don’t have to trust that, I can feel it.”
I kissed him, desperate for him to understand how serious I was about never hurting him or letting down again.
He kissed me back before reluctantly pulling away.
“Don’t get me too excited now, we need to finish this conversation first. Freya, my love may be unconditional, but my boundaries are not. I am making the choice to trust you, but I need you to promise me that if anything ever changes, if you ever find that you don’t love me any more or if you want out of this relationship, you will tell me instead of self-destructing and taking me and the girls with you in the fallout.”
“I promise. I’m sorry. And I also promise not to be all resentful and passive-aggressive and shit.”
“Good. And I promise not to be condescending and belittle your feelings just because I disagree or don’t understand them. Because I wasn’t handling you very well either.”
“Samuel, you shouldn’t have to ‘handle’ me at all.”
“Well, whatever you want to call it, I should still be more mindful of what you need instead of just assuming I know better. At least if we want to give this another try.”
“I do. Do you?”
“Yeah, I do.”
