Tornados: science fiction or science fact?

Watching a show about tornados, god’s vacuum cleaners. There’s home video from Oklahoma, a woman is calling out to her friend on the telephone “There’s a tornado right out the back door! You can see it!”

This brings up the seldom discussed topic of invisible tornados. Obviously the sceptical friend on the phone had asked the distraught woman what evidence she had of the alleged ‘tornado’ and the woman revealed it was in fact visible at forty paces. This is the National Meteorological Agency’s definition of an actual tornado and was presumably good enough for the friend as she seemed convinced and agreed to summon help.

Had the woman NOT been able to see the tornado then it would be classified as an invisible tornado, which do not exist. Help would NOT be summoned and IF her farm was sucked up by a [non visible] vortex and spread equitably over 6 counties anyway, well that would be witches done that.

Now that’s not to say witches cause tornados because that would be silly and superstitious. Tornados are a phenomenon of weather, thermodynamics at play, and have been around much longer than witches. So obviously tornados not only clean up trailer parks and relocate farm stock, they make witches too.

Wow! Tornados, what CAN’T they do?

Truly rid the world of white trash? They keep trying. You see they only attack in trailer park-infested areas. But it's not working. Those people multiply faster than rabbits and are more numerous and resilient than fucking cockroaches.

it's like rabbits in australia, you can never completely wipe them out. The best you can do is build a fence and shoot the ones that get through.
