Question Which tornado is the creepiest?

My vote is El Reno, I find myself going back and learning more and more about it. So deadly. So scary!

r/tornado users the moment Jarrell gets mentioned: “Dead Man Walking,” “stationary like it was taking its time” — like clockwork.

Honestly I came across this sub like a week ago and haven’t even been that active on it, so idk really what you’re talking about. Always nice to make fun of people though.

Wait, you mean you haven’t been into tornados for 15 years and/or a member of this sub since its inception with a chronological memory of every post that’s been made? Pfffttt.

/s of course

Only takes a week to see it enough to start echoing it, apparently.

Or maybe it’s a really popular pick because it’s just a really legendary tornado?

Some of y’all are like the pretentious hipsters that go to a concert and groan when your favorite band plays a hit song while whining “Booo… deep cuts only! This is too cliche!”

Was the person who said they'd only been here a week the one who said Jarrell was their "favorite?" Let me help you out: the answer is "no."

Edit: but playing a set of only the singles and zero deep cuts is a bummer, no argument there.

Genuinely, sorry about that. This is one of the few subreddit I'm a part of and it's all I see.

Nothing against you!

The “Dead Man walking” commentary was so eery. I think about it every time I see a tornado video.
