Are you sure it was in the 1990s?
The only movie that I can recall seeing that featured tornadoes in Los Angeles, was the movie:
The Day After Tomorrow (2004) - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Day_After_Tomorrow
"The Day After Tomorrow is a 2004 American science-fiction disaster film co-written, directed, and produced by Roland Emmerich and starring Dennis Quaid, Jake Gyllenhaal, Ian Holm, Emmy Rossum, and Sela Ward. The film depicts catastrophic climatic effects following the disruption of the North Atlantic Ocean circulation in a series of extreme weather events that usher in global cooling and lead to a new ice age."
Here are some other media which came out, around the same time, which had similar themes:
Category 6: Day Of Destruction (2004) - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category_6:_Day_of_Destruction
Category 7: The End of The World (2005) - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category_7:_The_End_of_the_World
Both films feature Randy Quaid as "Tornado Tommy"... and in Category 6, "three" tornadoes destroy Las Vegas, Nevada
The only disaster movies that I can recall, that focused on a "Daughter", that had a somewhat "famous" father was...
10.5 (2004) - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/10.5_(miniseries)
10.5 Apocalypse (2006) - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/10.5:_Apocalypse
Kim Delaney starred in both mini-series as a Seismologist trying to figure out why the Earth was experiencing massive Earthquakes. In the sequel mini-series, she must team up with her father, played by Frank Langella, as a scientist who, years earlier, had a radical theory: the "Fractal Earth Theory", that predicted the Earthquakes experience in the first mini-series, but that theory was rejected by the scientific community... so he moved to Las Vegas, Nevada to become a gambler.
Then there was...
Absolute Zero (2006) - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_Zero_(film)
that starred Jeff Fahey, who was researching Polarity Shifts, and discovered that when the poles shift on Earth, the temperatures reach Absolute Zero, causing an new Ice Age... As it turns out, the poles on Earth are starting to shift again, and temperatures are dropping...
And...
Arctic Blast (2010) - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arctic_Blast
Starring Michael Shanks (Stargate SG-1). Holes open in the ozone layer, allowing colossal blasts of heavily chilled mesosphere air to spread over the Earth. The holes must be sealed, before the Earth becomes one solid block of ice.
Due to the similarities of all these disaster films, it would not be hard to become confused, and to mix the plots from all of them.
