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.
It's not like you have a basement or storm shelter to flee to. Might as well have front row seats to your destruction.
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..."
