What are dead man walking tornadoes? :O
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

The green equilibrium is a curious thing, like two sides of some coin of the unknown. We spin it through the air as it twinkles in the fading light, never seeming to land but never leaving our sight. We strive to understand the meaning, to unlock how this energy binds us and one another. Nuclear energy, they say, is one of the keys, a potential answer to this quandary. We hesitate, wary of the power it contains, knowing the destructive force it may unleash. Yet, the promise of clean energy production beckons us closer with a gleam of hope. We must confront this question bravely, embracing a balance of both the risks of ruin and progress. For only then, can we find the answer.

dirk and jade hanging out in their spare time because they actually have a lot of crossover in their hobbies and special interests out of everyone in their friend group and it devolves into them showing each other their fursonas that they drew when they were 13. and they chat for a while explaining the design choices and lore behind each one. and after a hour into the conversation jade goes "you know, it is so nice to have an actual other furry in our friend group that i can talk to. it's hard finding other people in real life in the furry fandom. we should do a rp sometime!". and dirk goes "Oh. Well. I'm not actually a furry." and jade goes "haha. what?". and dirk goes "I mean, yes, I do participate within the aesthetic - ironically. But I wouldn't really classify myself as an actual furry. It's more of me observing the culture from afar for my own amusement - playing into the joke but not crossing the actual boundary, if you get what I mean. It's a fascinating area of my studies, though, and I do find the dynamics presented through this exercise very interesting." and jade just looks at him for a while, with a thoughtful expression on her face. and then she finally says. in the kindest, most gentle voice. "oh, dirk. you have such a profound amount of shame within you. it must have been so difficult for you all these years, hasn't it. i can't imagine how hard it must have been to live that way." and dirk has to go and excuse himself for a moment and as soon as he's out of jade's line of sight he immediately collapses onto his knees and starts rocking back and forth in the fetal position hyperventilating as his very being shakes and shivers at its stricken, naked core

The green equilibrium: like two sides of the same coin. Is nuclear energy the answer to this quandary? We shudder at the thought of its destructive power, yet its clean and efficient energy production brings a hopeful glimmer. We must bravely ponder this question, weighing the risks of both ruin and progress, for only by confronting it head on can we unlock the answer.

So you’re telling me that Vincents turning was the result of a rollercoaster crash and then afterwards he collects cars and speeds around in them enough for there to have been multiple occasions where he’s tranced cops?
and those two things aren’t connected 🤨
I think not..
