But no smiling. It's an old-timey photo so that's not allowed. There's certainly no other front page post to prove me wrong.

Not to be a killjoy, but tornadoes do not form out of clouds looking like that. The whole system should look like it was spinning.

The tornado was asked to remain perfectly motionless for several minutes to achieve this shot.

Looks pretty fake with photoshop I see.

As someone who has seen several in person, it's pretty easy to tell this is a fake instantly. Shame on OP for spreading misinformation.

Neat fact, it wasn't Oklahoma at that time, still was known as just Indian territory

If it's the 19th century, why does the year start with 18?! Checkmate, Atheists.

First century was 0-100AD. This making 19th century 1800-1900. The century number is essentially the last year in the span.

I didn't think the people would be standing like that. Definetly would not let the kid in front of them.

Correct. Incorrect cloud type to produce a tornado. Mamatus is associated with upper level outflow, not inflow storm structure.

Those 19th century tornadoes were always built to last, unlike the millenial crap we get today.

Just because you were born in 1898 doesn't make you a 1890s kid.

Yeah! Now they're so weak you can finish mowing your lawn before you evacuate, as long as you keep an eye on it.

why are millennial tornados ruining the columbian coffee market via avocado toast.

I'm sayin'! Back then tornadoes lasted three, four weeks! These you're lucky to get five minutes.

I've been mucking around with climate models and I've worked out that we will soon have acid tornadoes which last decades.

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Dunno if that's an up- or downgrade from the fire ones.

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 1

Ok. I just did some more testing. Flaming acid tornadoes partially composed of kicked up dirt and sand which last decades. We're fucked.
