Have I lately mentioned the landlady's insistence that there will be a tornado here at the drop of a hat?

Ahh, the tornado hallucination.

Sounds like a book series.

tornado wrist watch: want

this one goes out to @nymetrowx.bsky.social - so glad to hear you're on the mend!

Ah yes. The Oklahoma threat chart.

Tornado Supplication: We must offer sacrifices to prevent tornados from harming us

Tornado Whim ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Tornado Pessimism. Things suck today.

Suggest adding "Sharknado Alert"

Tornado suspicion is a tornado watch if these weird clouds are strongly correlated with tornados. Tornado premonition is also a tornado watch through observation of other animal species' tornado watches.

tornado awareness day

If they are Florida shaped, just run away.

Tornado Abstractions are also a very important alert stage; winds and spirals exist independently of each other -and- together.

Tornado Hoax. Evidence that categorically proves that so called tornado damage is really attacks by aliens that the government is covering up.

This could have also included the real en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tornado...

Tornado Watch 🤣. Here in S. California we have STORM WATCH 2026!!! and STORM OF THE CENTURY!!! Endless hours of TV time is dedicated to this fanfare.

Then there's "Tornado sightings on the radio in This County and That County and you're driving across Iowa on I-80 in pouring rain and your map doesn't have counties on it" annoying warnings.

Tornado watch = sit out on your porch and watch to see what happens

Tornado manifestation: You worried so much about tornadoes that now there is one.

Here in Oklahoma we need more gradients on the high end. Like differentiate "Oh lit, a tornado! Let's go out and watch." from "Crap, its coming right over me. I guess I should hop in the shelter for a few seconds. Lol."

Tornado precognition: I had a dream about a tornado and I think it's going to be today

Tornado inkling: what's a tornado?

Tornadepistemology

That's a new one on me. Fantastic visualization. Not joking.

A taco emergency is when the hard shell in the second image shatters into a million pieces in your hands. (IMO, anyway. I hate hard shells)

Came here to post this.

Then there's the horror of the Tornado Superposition; it's the uncertainty that gets you.

As someone who has lived through many tornado watches/warnings, I feel this is oddly accurate to how people like me view tornados at this point.

EF5 is when they keep sending email reminders to fill out the survey.

Where does the TornadoGuard app fit into this classification?
