Funny thing, just found out that famous video was a hoax. Tornado wasn’t real. Was used to hype a found footage video

Spot-on! I was torn on using this image to talk about COVID-19, since so many people have called the virus a "hoax". But it was the best image I could find to talk about the fact that here in Iowa, when the weather service tells you a tornado is coming, we don't mock meteorologists and go running through the corn fields. We take shelter. In that context, the idea of taking a selfie in front of a tornado seems to me just like going out to eat or hang out a bar in the middle of a pandemic. If we could "see" what's coming, we'd realize what we're doing is ridiculous.

Into the Storm (2014 film) was the found footage tornado movie this was used for, btw. Viral marketing back in the day. Terrible movie though. The best thing about it was this convincing (at the time) scary AF short film

Ah, missed the subtext. Carry on then. Mission accomplished
