    Dixie Alley, been around quite a few. Had a big one pass over and then touch down a quarter mile from the house once. You could feel the roof lifting. It's so fucken loud.

    If we really wanted to reduced damage from tornadoes, we would build decoy trailer parks with lots of telephone poles all over. House trailers are a tornado's natural prey.

      Hah, well, there are basically much, much smaller scale 'tornadoes' that we call 'dust devils', or other terms... they're usually only the size of about a person, maybe as tall as two people, they're formed by other kinds of climate/weather conditions, and tend to dissapate in under a minute.

      You could probably 'pet' one of those, though you may lose your hat, 'get your feathers ruffled', so to say.

          You want a "Dust Devil," they are kinda baby tornados that exist in the US south west. Maybe wait a few years to visit though. The tornados are currently one of the least dangerous things about visiting.

              are these things dangerous? the whirlwind i mean. they don't exist where i live, i have never seen one irl.

              i would kinda just want to walk towards it to see how strong it is. it that a doable thing?

              This doesn't look real to me. There is not any debris in the "nice sky". There usually isn't a "nice sky" as well. And it usually has a hue of green.

              I'm no expert though. They can be dangerous. Far worse than many natural phenomena.

                I was terrified of these when I was little, but fortunately they’re not that common in Yorkshire. I made the decision to focus my worry on the Bermuda Triangle instead.

                    Huh. Thank you for providing proof, between his big feet, the car's side-headlights, and her left index finger being short, I really thought this was AI.
