“It’s gonna hit my house” “no it’s gonna hit Nietzke’s” as an old man drives a lawnmower down the road.

100% the most normal conversation in the south. Seriously though that tornado wasn't going to hit anything. They don't go from 0 to sucking the land flat that fast. It takes a significant amount of time to gather the wind up in cohesive updraft. Every single thing on the ground that blocks the wind can dissolve the updraft and cause it to jump around and lose its footing. If you ever see a "trashnado" in the corner of a building you can play around with this theory by taking some large flat object and slicing it through one side of the cone and it will cause the trashnado to collapse.

@merriemisfit8406 2 ай бұрын

Maybe he was putting out the warning call, Paul Revere style. I didn't hear storm warning sirens in the video soundtrack, so it's possible Lawn Mower Guy did not know what was going on up in the sky yonder behind the trees. But he did turn around and head back, so maybe he noticed something (other than that he was getting rained on). The closest tornado to where I live happened before we had warning sirens, and all I noticed (while I was out playing in the back yard after dinner) were some really strange clouds racing over my neighborhood. Meanwhile, five miles away cars were getting flipped and another neighborhood was being torn apart by an F4. One of the un-seriously injured victims recounted that she had just walked into her kitchen and looked out the window when that window exploded in all over her. Neither she nor her husband had any idea AT ALL that there was a tornado right there.

the cloud doesnt have to touch the ground, as long as condensation is on the ground and you see debris being lofted, it's considered on the ground.
