Hey all, don't know how tuned in to the local weather within the states you might be but we are seeing dangerous weather conditions we haven't seen the likes of in 10 years.
Many tornadoes have already hit multiple states, leaving a nightmarish path. At the time of this post, the storm is still going strong and still dropping tornadoes. These have been "seek shelter underground to survive" levels of bad.
Radar below! Please keep an eye on your local weather!!

Below are images from the national weather service, please take caution if you are anywhere near this. It has been a very strong and violent event.
it’s a multi-vortex tornado. i dont remember the tribe it originates from (i think it was cherokee), but there’s a native american legend…? saying? that goes “if you see a man in a tornado, you are about to die.”
the most infamous shot of a dead man walking tornado hit jarrell, texas in 1997
it did so much damage to the town it caused the scale that tornados are measured by, the fijita scale, undergo revisions, and it made anchoring buildings in the tornado alley region pretty much mandatory. (it took the entire town off the map. only those who had taken shelter outside of the town or in underground bunkers survived.)
two more examples of dead man walking tornadoes looking like a person are a tornado from 2011 that hit cullman, alabama
and a tornado from 1975 that hit xenia, ohio
edit: it has been brought to my attention that the native american “legend” part of this post was a rumor spread by a documentary.
i have been asked to remove it, but i believe in letting my errors stand because i’m not perfect. i make mistakes
