Man casually mows lawn with huge tornado behind him; says he ‘was keeping an eye on it’
This is one of those “Not the Onion” posts as this actually did happen on June 2, 2017. Meet Alberta-based Theunis Wessels who thought it was more important to mow his damn lawn than to seek shelter from the terrifying looming tornado right behind him.
Theunis’ wife, Cecilia, captured the image as her husband mowed the lawn.
According to Theunis, the tornado was actually far away and was no real threat to him. “It looks much closer if you look in the photo, but it was really far away. Well, not really far, far away, but it was far away from us,” he said.
“I was keeping an eye on it.”
That is some determined commitment to household chores. A dangerous mind indeed… if a danger to himself?
