Once my mom, siblings, and I where in the bathroom while my dad stood in the living room watching the news to see where the tornado was, all the while the siren at the fire station near us was going off. Interestingly it was on a Friday night right after my parents had put us in bed when the siren went off.
Same here! My husband's outside with his camera and won't come in until he's flying in the funnel or it's over. I used to beg him to come in but have learned over the years just to stay sheltering with my children until it's over. I love my man, always protective over our family!
That's up there with a friend of mine saying "Jesus is gonna come back the day before I get my braces off, or right between my wedding and honeymoon!"'
One year we had a horrible ice storm. Knocked out power to most of the state of NC for a week. My son was working at a Waffle House at the time. He still had to go to work.
Don't forget the whole, "is it a watch or a warning?" debate that ensues at 2am. At that point, you're right, God's gonna take us home if it's our time!
Last year a tornado stopped just short of my house. Apparently, other folks were hiding in their basements. I was too busy running from window to window to get a better look. I am living proof that a stack of degrees doesn’t show intelligence ...
"This thing's gonna just rip right through that new Dollar General they built on the highway. Let's be honest though, we could stand to lose a couple of them." That was too much.
Oh my gosh I am Southern and this brought back so many memories. The smelling the rain and knee hurting got me. Matt Mitchell, all I can say is just, Bless your Heart.
because they refused to work, to ensure tt justice is done. Like d Israelites, they think God let them have positions to govern so as to earn big money when God sets up nations so tt people can have peace, security & justice. Failing, d nation is a defective earthern pot/vessel tt God will destroy as when God asked Jeremiah to go to d potter's House. Israel was destroyed by d Babylonians as Israel failed to produce d good fruit God requires. Injustices is d bitter sour grapes of wrath.

Back when I was a kid, despite being deaf, even I could hear the sirens. They had been going off lately due to a malfunction somewhere. It gets fixed. A day later at night, they go off, waking us all up. My dad grabs a flashlight and walks towards the door while muttering there better be a tornado out there or he’s going back to bed. No tornado. Just insane winds. We had gusts recorded in the 90s. True to his word, dad went back to bed.

“I was grillin’ in the blizzard of 93! That was the only way we had to cook.” As someone who went through Snowmageddon 2021 in Texas, I completely understand now.
Exactly! We had no power for a couple if days and so my neighbor got out his grill and invited people to come over and he would cook our meat for us if we brought it over. Another neighbor brought us some of their candles. The neighbor who cooked meat took some of his firewood and set it outside of the doors of people in our building.. (apartments) Such great neighbors!
We had a hurricane in ohio about 12 years ago it knocked out the power to the city for 1 to 4 weeks. 100 mph wind gust we are 500 miles from the ocean.
@@ciannacoleman5125 that was why it became such a national, even international, issue. We have our own separate power grid not connected to the other two US grids. When all of our various sources of energy froze up, we couldn’t borrow electricity from the other two grids, like OK could. We personally were ok, because even though we had no electricity, we still had gas, so our gas fireplaces and gas burners still worked, you just had to light your stove with a match. But people who only had electric ranges couldn’t cook anything. If they didn’t have a working fire, all they had was their grill until the propane ran out. Taste the meat, not the heat. Can’t use charcoal. Sure, many have smokers, but that takes too long. And if you watched the news, you’d see video clips of people lined up trying to buy more propane.
That's how we are in southern Illinois with the rare snow we get. Please, God, let there be 3 inches instead of 1 because 1 closes the schools, 2 closes the government offices, and 3 closes everything else down.
@@shadowmatrix0101 wait, what? There are places where schools close down with less than 2 feet of snow? Note - I live in Colorado. The only time the state shuts down is if RTD (our public transport in the Denver Metro area) shuts down; despite some of the blizzards we've had since then, RTD hasn't shut down since 2006.
Lmaooo this is my daddy to a T!!! Hurricane Ida was throwing the patio chairs across the yard and he came in the living room wanting to know how every likes their steaks because “I’ve already marinated them, might as well cook em too, and then we can die happy and full” 🤣
dude i dont eat meat and i found that so fucking funny and relatable if there was an F5 tornado in my area id be outside grilling patties (Note i dont eat meat that dont mean i dont cook meat it aint going in my body so i dont give a bleep lol XD)
When I was in 2nd grade my family and I took a trip to Florida over Christmas break. Christmas Day the only restaurant that was open was a Chinese restaurant so we were there eating. When we were going in the sky was getting pretty dark and the news was on in the restaurant talking about a tornado pretty close to the area. Almost everyone else was freaking out but we just kept on eating. My mom being like ‘we’re from Iowa, we’re used to tornados.’
@@CandaceDreamer Marshalltown, IA right here! And not only do I have one heck of a west-facing view towards any oncoming storms (courtesy of a 7th-floor apartment), I live quite close to one of our sirens. 😅 All that plus KCCI Channel 8 on my phone. Who needs to be a storm chaser out in a vehicle? 😜
Grilling in the midst of a tornado because you don't want the effort put into the marinated meat to go to waste if/when the power goes out is by far the most Southern, if not, the most 'Murican thing ever.
Texan right here.. and this is pretty accurate! Instead of helping me get our kids in the vehicle he’s just standing there watching the storm til our trampoline flew across the yard and wrapped around an oak tree like a tortilla 🤦🏻♀️
My wife woke me at 3 am because of wind and rain, said we were gonna have a tornado. We live in a trailer, so my response was " What do you want me to do about it? If its our time, then its our time. besides I gotta get up in an hour and a half. " Needless to say I was not "allowed" to go back to sleep
Living in coastal North Carolina, we pay attention to hurricane watches and warnings. Years ago we actually got a tornado watch and then a warning was issued (close to nightfall). After nightfall the electricity had gone out because of high winds and a thunderstorm. My husband had gone to sleep early so when I heard that sound (like a train makes) and tried to wake him up, he just refused to get up to go to the safe area!! Well, I went downstairs without him and waited. When I ventured out of the safe area, it was too dark to see what damage might have been done. The next morning, we looked at the tree studded lot beside us and it had trees flung around like they were match-sticks. All he said was, “See, I told you that it wouldn’t hit us”! For me, it had hit far too close to our house!!!
We live in a trailer and one time the sirens went off and and we made our way through a monsoon to the neighbor's cellar. I knocked on his door, trying, you know, to save his life. When it was over he told me I don't have to wake him up if there's a tornado; it'll be fine.
@@TheBridget272 I tried to get our upstairs neighbors to come to our second bathroom on first floor but neither family took me up on it. It’s ok, I guess, their dogs are barky…
'Also my knee hurts' is a thing that actually works by the way to tell when it will rain. People with Arthritis tend to feel more pain in their joints when humidity drops, which commonly occurs before it rains. My grandmother says the same thing and for the longest time I thought she was a shaman or something.
My dad can "feel" whether or not it's going to rain in his knees as well due to arthritis. My little brother can supposedly feel it in his leg because years ago he broke his leg when a truck pulled out in front of my brother's scooter and crashed into it. Luckily, he only hurt his leg, but it broke in multiple places and took months to heal. Now his leg hurts before it starts raining.
My dad lived in Texas and very rarely saw a tornado, but we live in Illinois and the first time he saw a tornado for real, he took 8 year old me and told to stand on the porch and watch it while he gets the camera, and that is what sparked me to become a storm chaser.
About LOST my Mind when he plainly stated “...remember that day I just slightly mentioned CLOUD and whole DirectTV system shutdown!...” 💀Dang near splattered my screen! 🤣🤪🤣
That's the way my yankee boyfriend tells it! He likes to make fun of how excited we get about snow here in Texas. It annoys me and cracks me up at the same time.
This is how I knew my California born husband had become fully southern. This was genuinely his reactions, esp the sleeping one while I set up a whole bedroom set and a party platter in the bathroom so we could be comfortable during the tornado. 😂
@@ericolens3 I honestly don't know much, I don't even live near alabama. I have just watched many things on the tuscaloosa tornado with his coverage. I've seen other coverages too, when he takes that jacket off, it's serious.
@@CosmaPaulaton The man you are referring to is James Spann. Look up videos of him on UA-cam...including the 1-year anniversary of the big tornado outbreak from just a few years ago. You will have a whole new respect for what he does. I am from Louisiana & I declare him an Alabama treasure!
Thats James Spann! Guys been doing weather forever. I don't live in Alabama anymore, but he's still by far my favorite meteorologist. He has the uncanny ability to make the most complex stuff understandable for his viewers and he's superb at making predictions as to where a storm will end up. He came to my elementary school and taught us how to spot hook signatures on radar and a lot of useful safety tips for tornadoes.
Dang it, I made it all the way through that video and YOU got me. Now I'm laughing like an idiot and feeling homesick and reaching for the paper towels all to oncet.
My daddy still does this for every storm (also while wondering if he’s still got time to cut the grass!)! And my mama still calls me to tell him to get his butt back inside 😂
No we need more dollar generals our closest dollar general is 5 or 6 miles away we have one in the closet town since I live in the country they won’t put one here
Do you think DG is in cahoots with the 15-minute cities? Good can food from China, how scary is that? But I love to shop there. ☺️ I know but it's the closest store from us. 4 miles versus 15 miles. But love country life! Love the videos!!!!

aye i used to go out in thunderstorms and insult them. that all you got really? oh dont tell me your done already. thats the loudest you can go? i have a better chance at making my sister wet then you do. and i dont even have a sister.
As a father and husband, can confirm. When we get the odd tornado, I send the wife and kids to the basement and I go outside to watch the storm progress.
@@Nathan-dt2tu Yeah my siblings and mother go hide in a closet while me and my father prepare to die on the porch rather than lose our pride in the closet.
@@Subt0nix “Losing our pride in the closet” there is a gay joke in there waiting to be told, and I’m not intelligent enough to think of any. I was thinking about telling a joke related to me coming out, but that’s too basic in my opinion. Fuck
As a southerner I can confirm that trampolines fly surprisingly well. I’ve had friends wake up to find a trampoline in their yard that wasn’t theirs. Or blocking the alley. I laughed way too hard when he said that XD
Pools fly amazingly too. Had one flip itself onto our trampoline and hold it down so the trampoline didn't fly. Also had our trampoline end up in the neighbor's pool
My daughter had the trampoline get picked up from the front yard and was dropped in the backyard. Took a small chunk out of the neighbors siding but that was it
I'm a 30 yr old Man born & raised Minnesotan, still living in Minnesota. Anyway, though I never personally experienced a Tornado. I do like to go out into Thunderstorms and sometimes Snow Storms/Blizzards. It's so refreshing, exciting, and fun!!!
1:24, I actually did that during a storm earlier this year lol. My wife and kids were in the safe space and I was watching out of our sliding door. Didn't run for cover until there was very intense wind and limbs flying passed the door. Tornado had gone through a cow pasture right next to the house
We lived in Polk County Florida when the big 3 came through. We sat under the car port and watched alot of the rain and the debris flying. We decided to go inside when the oak tree in the back yard fell. 😀
And I betcha the cigarette was IN his mouth - no hands involved - with an ash that was both defying the laws of physics by staying rigid, and was also somehow longer than the original cigarette.
Lol this is spot on and my dad isn’t even southern. One time when my brother was a baby, my mom was rushing to get him inside a safe spot and my dad was just sitting by the window, drinking coffee laughing because everyone’s trash cans where flying away.
Yeah, my dad is from Ohio and I'm from MD. My mom and us kids would be in the basement, while he's chilling in his bedroom on the second floor going, "It's all good."
This reminds me of the last time we had a tornado, my dad was in the middle of cooking dinner when the sirens went off. My mom sent us to our space and my dad just kept on cooking, didn’t even flinch! It was great! We even got a board game out and just had a tornado party.
I took after my dad. Remember sitting in southern Mississippi during Katrina on our back porch and watching the wind. When a tree broke and fell over, we just looked at each other for a minute. Then we both ran in the house and screamed for my mother to come get in the car and get to my grandmas storm shelter. Some people just need that “oh sh*t” moment to get their behinds in high gear.
@Ace It annoys when my dad is bringing me home from school and I’m suddenly thrusted against my seat because a random bush just decided to block the whole lane. Our roads are controlled by Mother Nature, lmao
It's so funny, if it's not pouring down rain or dark I actually do go out with a cold beer and watch. Drives my wife crazy. And yes, I was grilling during the blizzard of 93.
My parents were married right before the blizzard of 93. The only thing they had to eat was sun chips and mint chocolate hershey bars. Now they celebrate their anniversary each year by eating sun chips and hershey bars.
They always have to be in the night, couldn’t it be during the day when I wasn’t trying to sleep and could see what was going on outside? That bit about going to hit the new dollar general was priceless.
One of my earliest childhood memories was there being a tornado warning as one had touched down into the county over and so my mom, brother and I all hunkered down but my dad took the dog and went out for a walk 😂
That's so true, especially the sleeping part. I'm from Oklahoma and my wife is from Pennsylvania. When we moved back to Oklahoma, for the first few years, I would let her get a safe space in the closet ready, when a tornado was near. One night she woke me up and said the tornado sirens are going off. I swear I don't remember saying this, but she said that I looked at her said "what do you want me to do about it. If a tornado comes through here, we're dead anyway" and then I rolled over went back to sleep...lol
1:52 True story. In 93 there was a blizzard in TN(where I'm from) and the lights were off for 3-4 days me and my parents had to have cook out to eat because there was no other way to make anything.
My parents are both from the north, but my mom remarried a Southerner. It’s so funny: when we had a tornado at my dad’s house, we all go into the safe space and hunker down. When we had a tornado at my mom’s house, my stepdad goes out onto the porch and watches.
"it's probably not going to happen. I have to go to work tomorrow and I never get lucky." How I feel during every tornado watch and warning. Now, I don't want any deaths or destruction of buildings or things like that, but why can't that tornado just block the roads with pine trees? We live in the Pine Belt. We have plenty more.
My daddy grilled during a hurricane! Momma wasn’t happy! He tracked in water every time he came in to get a beer!😂Just stay outside momma said. I’ll get your beer! They really took care of each other! 😂😉
One of my first memories is when a hurricane tore a bunch of stuff down in our neighborhood and dropped an assload of rain and my father decided to take 2 year old me out for a nice walk in the middle of it.
Bro “ probably will see our state bird flying by….. it’s just a trampoline that’s been picked up by the wind” that got me I showed this to parents and they dying of laughter dude keep doing what your doing. And I’m a southerner too that’s literally my dad when there’s a bad storm coming he just sits there like nothings happening while the rest of us are freaking out. He even literally went outside and grilled us steaks in the middle of a thunderstorm
@@ericolens3 I think it might be rural vs. city rather than Northern vs. Southern. The air has a special smell....I think the odors in a city might cover that up.
@@queenbunnyfoofoo6112 apparently humans can smell water better than sharks can smell blood. Also lightning creates ozone, that's the "thunderstorm" smell.
I was in Tuscaloosa when the tornado came in 2011. The PTSD is still bad. Comic sketches help me feel better, in a strange way. We were under a tornado warning a few days ago, and I held it together, but it was a little harder to breathe. I appreciate this video. Helps me relax a bit about it. Thank you.
I live not a bit north east of Tuscaloosa. Our town was hit twice that day. My car was lifted off the road by the 1st tornado early that morning. The 2nd pretty much leveled the whole downtown area.
A weather radio can give you that alert even if your phone fails you! Nighttime tornadoes are far more dangerous than daytime ones, partly because you're usually asleep.
"We probably ain't gonna die cause I gotta work tomorrow and I never get that lucky." man I feel that, weather is never bad enough to get me out of going to work. Get's bad when I'm there but not until I'm there
Oh man this is all gold. "You know I can't watch storms sober!" "Is that a cow? Oh no, that's our neighbour." "Our county ain't been that red since the last election." "It probably won't happen though, cuz I gotta go to work tomorrow, and I never get lucky."
Matt, you can smell rain because the air is 182% water right before a storm down there. I do not miss having sweat spots on my shirts just because I couldn't park at the front door of a store and had to walk 20 feet. The thing is - I moved to Wisconsin, and now I know Wisconsin gets tons of tornados, humidity, polar vortexes, lake effect snow (that's a good one the first time you experience it), suicidal deer, and they have little to no idea how much sugar is meant to be in sweet tea. On the flip side, I could come down south the next time it snows half an inch and be the king of the interstate.
Midwesterner here. I know this so true! I use to go watch the tornados on the front porch with dad. It always said he rather see and know where it was going instead of hiding in the dark. a few years ago I was getting ice cream out of the carton listening to our battery operated radio. Told husband the radio says its coming our way, we better get in the closest. He asked where it was I told him. He said it already went over us. So I just finished dipping my ice cream and ate it. It the worst was over.
@@adrianguynn5807 That's how it was when we had that crap. Dish Network sucks, too, but at least they stay online until the clouds have blackened and the rain's coming down in sheets. =)
True story: we had local warning of sighting near us. Hubby calls some friends over because our place was safer. The guys got the 2 wives and a total of 4 kids stuffed in a tub and they go to the front door to look at this thing! 🤦
As a southerner living smack in the middle of tornado valley, this hits close to home. I’m so used to tornados, I don’t even get scared. That’s also the reason I have a hard time sleeping in thunderstorms. Where I live, a bad thunderstorm usually means tornado, and you do NOT wanna fall asleep when one of those things are around. Sorry for the paragraph, LOL.
“Ya’ll go to your safe place while I watch it.” That’s my dad right there, he did exactly that. The man drove two hours during snowmageddon because my sister cried a little. That man is more stubborn then a twenty year old mule

a tornado is just like another rainy day for me. the only way im getting of the internet or TV is if the power goes out. after that you can find me outside on the porch enjoying the weather. the stormy weather
This had me laughing starting at “I can smell it.” You are spot on. You seriously sound like you’ve been listening in on my husband and I for the past thirty years. And then when you said hopefully the trees would fill in the potholes I figured you must live in Mississippi because we’re notorious for the potholes thanks to the red clay. You just got a new subscriber.
My dad slept through a tornado warning...Mom tried to get him up but I think he was passed-out from beer. I was real little...and we ended up going in the basement for a long while. Another storm, my dad brought a horse down into the basement - we had a stairwell to the outside, but it was real steep. Looking back, I have no idea how that horse tolerated his nonsense. :D
Northerners just don't understand. In the south when it's gonna rain you can just feel it, air gets denser, winds pick up slightly, humidity skyrockets, clouds come in, you just know. You feel it in your bones! Oh and it has that rain smell. And he's right, you never want the warm before the storm, otherwise its gonna be wet as hell!
I’m a Yank and I can sense rain too, but to me it feels like y’all Southerners are the last remnants of the brains in this country. Up here, people don’t have common sense.
During the 1974 tornado outbreak, my daddy and a buddy of his chased an F5 as my mom, brothers, our 2 dogs, and I huddled in the basement. I was 6 and brothers were 7, 8, and 10. My then-8 year old brother literally hid under the couch and kept yelling, “I don’t want to die!” We still laugh about that today! 😂
Omg my dad all the way. He was like this every bad storm we had. He'd send us to the basement while he stay upstairs watching the news and the storm outside. One time he came down to the basement right when the tornado hit our neighborhood. He loved it. Especially the one in Nashville Where I'm from had a really bad tornado rip through the east part of the city and he had us load up in the car to check out the damage afterwards
On the coast it's hurricane parties. My Houston family refused to evacuate, I seriously told Daddy to just sharpie my name and phone number on his arm during Ike so they could tell me when his body washed up.

“I was grillin’ in the blizzard of 93! That was the only way we had to cook.” As someone who went through Snowmageddon 2021 in Texas, I completely understand now.
Exactly! We had no power for a couple if days and so my neighbor got out his grill and invited people to come over and he would cook our meat for us if we brought it over. Another neighbor brought us some of their candles. The neighbor who cooked meat took some of his firewood and set it outside of the doors of people in our building.. (apartments) Such great neighbors!
We had a hurricane in ohio about 12 years ago it knocked out the power to the city for 1 to 4 weeks. 100 mph wind gust we are 500 miles from the ocean.
I remember the blizzard of 93. There were feet of snow in Atlanta.
Wow I didn’t realize it affected y’all down there. Okie here
@@ciannacoleman5125 that was why it became such a national, even international, issue. We have our own separate power grid not connected to the other two US grids. When all of our various sources of energy froze up, we couldn’t borrow electricity from the other two grids, like OK could.
We personally were ok, because even though we had no electricity, we still had gas, so our gas fireplaces and gas burners still worked, you just had to light your stove with a match. But people who only had electric ranges couldn’t cook anything. If they didn’t have a working fire, all they had was their grill until the propane ran out. Taste the meat, not the heat. Can’t use charcoal. Sure, many have smokers, but that takes too long. And if you watched the news, you’d see video clips of people lined up trying to buy more propane.

That's how we are in southern Illinois with the rare snow we get. Please, God, let there be 3 inches instead of 1 because 1 closes the schools, 2 closes the government offices, and 3 closes everything else down.
@@shadowmatrix0101 wait, what? There are places where schools close down with less than 2 feet of snow?
Note - I live in Colorado. The only time the state shuts down is if RTD (our public transport in the Denver Metro area) shuts down; despite some of the blizzards we've had since then, RTD hasn't shut down since 2006.

My wife woke me at 3 am because of wind and rain, said we were gonna have a tornado. We live in a trailer, so my response was " What do you want me to do about it? If its our time, then its our time. besides I gotta get up in an hour and a half. " Needless to say I was not "allowed" to go back to sleep
Living in coastal North Carolina, we pay attention to hurricane watches and warnings. Years ago we actually got a tornado watch and then a warning was issued (close to nightfall). After nightfall the electricity had gone out because of high winds and a thunderstorm. My husband had gone to sleep early so when I heard that sound (like a train makes) and tried to wake him up, he just refused to get up to go to the safe area!! Well, I went downstairs without him and waited. When I ventured out of the safe area, it was too dark to see what damage might have been done. The next morning, we looked at the tree studded lot beside us and it had trees flung around like they were match-sticks. All he said was, “See, I told you that it wouldn’t hit us”! For me, it had hit far too close to our house!!!
We live in a trailer and one time the sirens went off and and we made our way through a monsoon to the neighbor's cellar. I knocked on his door, trying, you know, to save his life. When it was over he told me I don't have to wake him up if there's a tornado; it'll be fine.

'Also my knee hurts' is a thing that actually works by the way to tell when it will rain. People with Arthritis tend to feel more pain in their joints when humidity drops, which commonly occurs before it rains. My grandmother says the same thing and for the longest time I thought she was a shaman or something.
It’s the atmospheric pressure drop
Yep. The pressure. I judge the severity of the coming storm by how dizzy I get and how much my neck hurts.
Imagine how fast people would move years ago, when one of the kids would go runnin' out to the field to yell "Mawmaw's knee's a hurtin'!"
Is this an actual case of mansplainin'?
My dad can "feel" whether or not it's going to rain in his knees as well due to arthritis. My little brother can supposedly feel it in his leg because years ago he broke his leg when a truck pulled out in front of my brother's scooter and crashed into it. Luckily, he only hurt his leg, but it broke in multiple places and took months to heal. Now his leg hurts before it starts raining.
My dad lived in Texas and very rarely saw a tornado, but we live in Illinois and the first time he saw a tornado for real, he took 8 year old me and told to stand on the porch and watch it while he gets the camera, and that is what sparked me to become a storm chaser.
Love that story! Have you chased some big storms this year? :)

Facts...my step dad stood at the doorway - door wide open, cigarette lit during a hurricane. 🤣😂
looked like a movie scene outside.
We lived in Polk County Florida when the big 3 came through. We sat under the car port and watched alot of the rain and the debris flying. We decided to go inside when the oak tree in the back yard fell. 😀
And I betcha the cigarette was IN his mouth - no hands involved - with an ash that was both defying the laws of physics by staying rigid, and was also somehow longer than the original cigarette.
Lol this is spot on and my dad isn’t even southern. One time when my brother was a baby, my mom was rushing to get him inside a safe spot and my dad was just sitting by the window, drinking coffee laughing because everyone’s trash cans where flying away.

This reminds me of the last time we had a tornado, my dad was in the middle of cooking dinner when the sirens went off. My mom sent us to our space and my dad just kept on cooking, didn’t even flinch! It was great! We even got a board game out and just had a tornado party.
I took after my dad. Remember sitting in southern Mississippi during Katrina on our back porch and watching the wind. When a tree broke and fell over, we just looked at each other for a minute. Then we both ran in the house and screamed for my mother to come get in the car and get to my grandmas storm shelter. Some people just need that “oh sh*t” moment to get their behinds in high gear.

If a tornado comes through here, we're dead anyway" and then I rolled over went back to sleep...lol

My parents are both from the north, but my mom remarried a Southerner. It’s so funny: when we had a tornado at my dad’s house, we all go into the safe space and hunker down. When we had a tornado at my mom’s house, my stepdad goes out onto the porch and watches.
Well, heck yeah! (Direct hit and it's not going to matter too much anyway...)
"it's probably not going to happen. I have to go to work tomorrow and I never get lucky."
How I feel during every tornado watch and warning. Now, I don't want any deaths or destruction of buildings or things like that, but why can't that tornado just block the roads with pine trees? We live in the Pine Belt. We have plenty more.

Matt, you can smell rain because the air is 182% water right before a storm down there.

The thing is - I moved to Wisconsin, and now I know Wisconsin gets tons of tornados, humidity, polar vortexes, lake effect snow (that's a good one the first time you experience it), suicidal deer, and they have little to no idea how much sugar is meant to be in sweet tea. On the flip side, I could come down south the next time it snows half an inch and be the king of the interstate.
Midwesterner here. I know this so true! I use to go watch the tornados on the front porch with dad. It always said he rather see and know where it was going instead of hiding in the dark. a few years ago I was getting ice cream out of the carton listening to our battery operated radio. Told husband the radio says its coming our way, we better get in the closest. He asked where it was I told him. He said it already went over us. So I just finished dipping my ice cream and ate it.

Lol sounded like the Horse had Horse sence and not nonsense , he wasn't about to die in no tornado...
Maybe the horse was drunk too?
And people southerners are have horse stereotypes about us
@@Moompl what jacked up accent is that
@@Moompl don't fix it just leave it like that so people have a stroke while reading it because that is better writing than harry potter.
Northerners just don't understand. In the south when it's gonna rain you can just feel it, air gets denser, winds pick up slightly, humidity skyrockets, clouds come in, you just know. You feel it in your bones! Oh and it has that rain smell. And he's right, you never want the warm before the storm, otherwise its gonna be wet as hell!
I’m a Yank and I can sense rain too, but to me it feels like y’all Southerners are the last remnants of the brains in this country. Up here, people don’t have common sense.
0:28 "Where's the beer at? What do you mean we're out? What am I supposed to drink when I'm watching this thing in the front yard? "
So true.
What I loved was living in a place where the horizon was so low you could watch a thunderstorm 70 miles away at night.
As a southern I can indeed say that this is ridiculously accurate.
During the 1974 tornado outbreak, my daddy and a buddy of his chased an F5 as my mom, brothers, our 2 dogs, and I huddled in the basement. I was 6 and brothers were 7, 8, and 10. My then-8 year old brother literally hid under the couch and kept yelling, “I don’t want to die!” We still laugh about that today! 😂
Omg my dad all the way. He was like this every bad storm we had. He'd send us to the basement while he stay upstairs watching the news and the storm outside. One time he came down to the basement right when the tornado hit our neighborhood. He loved it. Especially the one in Nashville Where I'm from had a really bad tornado rip through the east part of the city and he had us load up in the car to check out the damage afterwards
I know this is a bit late, however i love how calm he is with a large and dangerous tornado on the tv cause southern dads do, in fact, do that.
Meanwhile in Texas: “This is it y’all! Get my beer, and tv!”
On the coast it's hurricane parties. My Houston family refused to evacuate, I seriously told Daddy to just sharpie my name and phone number on his arm during Ike so they could tell me when his body washed up.
Also in TX: Sirens
Wtf dude you stole my first and last name
N.C to...
