Here’s a fun tweet from Monday night, when the National Weather Service issued a tornado watch for Douglas County in Kansas. The Lawrence Police Department tried to get citizens to take the warning seriously:
Some people read this as “deck sitting in a lawn chair with a bottle of whiskey season.”
Those without a death wish read it as “take necessary safety precautions for the possibility of severe weather.”
Please be the latter. https://t.co/waR4q4Ugg0

There’s just no reaching some people.
Pft, I'll get my whiskey and my shotgun

Please don’t shoot at the tornados. https://t.co/NEA3CDftQS

This casual bigotry against the fine men and women (and children) of flyover country is disgusting. https://t.co/FW2pM5fok6

Y'all distract it and I'll sneak up behind it and cuff it. That's how it's done here in Wichita.

What if it’s a sharknado? Can we shoot in that case?
— OldCurmudgeon (@SmartAssSOB) May 6, 2019
I prefer bow and arrow with a detonator. I mean, Sharknado taught us this.

Not even a 50 cal can stop a hurricane, but in Texas, we shoot and kill tornadoes every day when they are in season.

Everyone knows that to get rid of a tornado you all just have to plug in your fans and point them at it at the same time and it’ll blow it somewhere else

I once stopped a tornado with my bare hands. Best nightmare ever.
