yes, but I'm unsure how it was rated

no, but I live (or have lived) somewhere where tornadoes were not unheard of

no, I have never lived anywhere where tornadoes are known to happen

ugggh I just woke up cus there's a tornado around us so we had to go to the basement and my brother is making us listen to his shitty piano playing it's soo ass

I'll be fine dont worry it's just annoying

Edit: were out now it was just annoying

the largest tornado was 2.6 miles wide and was rated EF3(the el reno 2013)

the deadliest tornado killed approximately 1300 people in 1989

the 1997 jarrell tornado was one of the first depictions of a so-called "dead man walking"(the two vortexes rotating created an effect of a walking tornado)

the joplin 2011 ef5 tornado caused "butterfly people", the nature of which remain unknown. some saw angels, which are thought to be caused by mass hysteria. some said that these were people who were literally skinned alive, and those "wings" were the skin.

the el reno 2013 is believed to be the first tornado to kill storm chasers

the tornado can grow from ef0 to ef5 in a matter of minutes

the longest tornado(or a series) lasted 3.5 hours

the tornadoes are fast as hell(the record for the highest forward speed is 75 mph or 121 kph)

and after seeing this i actually thought I was going to throw up. im still really nervous even though its technically past the 10 PM (for the storm) and the 12 AM (for the aq) and its so bad that I genuinely dont know if I can bring myself to go outside tommorow /srs maybe if I do ill just wear a mask

But I HATE that its not even tornados or stuff like that, its literally just STORMS. I feel like a helpless puppy when im sitting in the far corner of my bed and trying not to cry because there was a big boom of thunder from outside.

And its just so awful i want it to go away. And I feel bad that sometimes when theres a storm i post a lot on Tumblr because it probably gets annoying rlly fast. "Oh look, there's a drizzle in Vinnie time zone again!" I am legitimately so sorry for anyone who has to see my posts when the weather outside is bad

WE’RE FINALLY FREED NO MORE STORMING
