#midwesterners

Tis true. I can smell either when a tornado is imminent, or already on the ground…

"Need a hand?"

Bonus:

Fair! And I’m not even a midwesterner. I’m a southerner, and my area has had three tornados in the past two years. Mostly, around here, you aren’t unfortunate (or fortunate!) enough to see a full tornado, but what you will sometimes see is the funnel clouds, before they touch down.

I can, have, and will stand on the porch in an active tornado. It’s a terrible idea, life-threatening, unwise—but it’s so fun. I kid you not, I write the experience of riding a dragon in my IC fanfictions as feeling similar to standing in the wind during a tornado. It is wild!

If you ever get the chance to enjoy this on your bucket list, I hope you are safe and that you have an absolute blast!
