    I live in Southern California, and we were having crazy weather for the region. I think Hawaii had a hurricane or something iirc, and we were getting the tail end of it.

    I was at work, and suddenly everyone phone started screeching alerts.

    ⚠️ Tornado Warning ⚠️

    Everyone froze for a couple seconds, then crowded the floor to ceiling office windows, then ran down stairs to go outside for a better look.

    We all laughed at how incredibly stupid we were being, but hell, a Tornado in Cali was too rare to miss.

    No Tornado ever materialized.

      I used to live in Wisconsin. I remember a tornado warning and people, including me, were standing in the intersections and streets to get a better view. I had spotted something odd in the clouds and to this day swear I saw a tornado second guess itself. I heard the next day that one had touched down a few miles North in a field.

      “Why were you running back to the house last night? haha”

      “I, uh…don’t like heights…”
