Man casually mowing lawn, huge tornado coming
 

Washington post/ AT&T too, has it ... fake ?
If not, it's insane ...crap. The upload failed. :biggrin2: 3 hills Canada, his wife took the picture.

Not fake
 

Not fake. There has been quite a bit of media coverage up here to validate it.

Three Hills is about an hour away from here and a fairly common area for tornado watches. It looked like a monstrous tornado from the movies but it's awe was caused mostly by the dark dirt it was contained. A nice dark rich looking soil. Made it look wonderfully ominous despite it being a relatively "weak" tornado.

As for the guy mowing his lawn, he's Canadian. There's very little weather that can frighten us. Maybe a heat wave. We don't know how to handle those. :Huh:

Thanks for the info
I cant seem to copy and post the pic , you will have to search for it

Here you go.

It's not fake. Pretty good way to become an internet sensation.

Pretty weak tornado. Probably wouldn't make somebody from Kansas get up and look out the window. :biggrin2:

You would have thought the OP would know a big tornado being from Kansas. Yet the title says "huge tornado". Probably never even seen one.... living in that bomb shelter, watching CNN and reading the Washington Post.

Funny you say that. I was working at the Saturn, Spring Hill plant during a shutdown in the summer of "96. They told us at 9:00 the first day that the chillers were being shutdown for service. It had to be 110 degrees F in that plant. Some Canadian guys were working a line over from us and they would lose one at least everyday. They were staying at the same motel as us and we got to talk to them by the pool at night. Great bunch of guys, but the Tennessee heat got to them.

The tornado is about 3 miles away, so he's good.

So you must be the eyes and Jon is the ears, you can tell how far away the twister is and Jon can tell how fast it's spinning.:biggrin2:

I had a f3 go by me( it lifted up by me ...yea) in april it damaged 400 homes totaling 71 homes it was moving at 60mph , that tornado looks closer ,but maybe your right , also it can form a new twister or 3 in sec.
could it be he was thinking here I am come and get me?

Saw this on the news. Appears he knew it was there but was more interested in mowing the yard. Even if he wasn't concerned for his safety, you'd think he would be in awe of such a fairly rare display of nature. By that I mean, its not a thunderstorm, to see one of these in person probably doesn't happen very often. To paraphrase Ferris Bueller, he needs to look around sometime before life passes him by.

Lol! No, I heard them talking about it on the radio today. I cheated...

:ROTF2: :biggrin2:

That twister went past about 40km from my place, it got real windy here but I didnt see it, I was busy fixing tractors, just read about it on all the local facebook pages.
