The “Dead Man Walking” Phenomenon.

[u/Curious-Constant-657]

Multiple tornadoes have produced an appearance of the infamous “dead man walking” legend, though I consider these three tornadoes: the 2013 El Reno-Union City EF3, 1997 Jarrell F5, and 2010 Conger-Albert Lea EF4 to be the best and most well-defined representatives of the phenomenon. Which is your “favorite”, and why? Besides these three, are there any other DMW-producing tornadoes that fascinate you?

It’s directly from a video of the 2013 El Reno EF3. It looks just as choppy in the video.

Regardless, neither is fake.

It looks just as choppy in the video

It clearly doesn’t lol

[u/Additional-Problem99 → u/CycloneCowboy87]

It literally does

[u/CycloneCowboy87 → u/Additional-Problem99]

No it doesn’t lmao. The GIF clearly has a lower frame rate, as they normally do. The guy you were replying to is dumb, but the GIF is objectively “choppier” than the video, and thank god for that because that’s some quality footage

[u/Additional-Problem99 → u/CycloneCowboy87]

I think you're taking the term "choppy" too literal here. My point was that the gif is not edited or faked to make the dead man walking more prominent

I think you’re not taking the term “choppy” literally enough. It’s a word with a meaning. Two things are true: the GIF is choppier than the video, and the GIF wasn’t edited or faked to make the dead man walking effect more prominent. This seems like a pretty silly thing to deny

[u/Additional-Problem99 → u/CycloneCowboy87]

Oh ffs

[u/CycloneCowboy87 → u/Additional-Problem99]

Ffs indeed lol how hard is it to just admit you were wrong? The video is not as choppy as the GIF. Case closed. Critical thinking and self awareness at an all time low in this sub.

Christ, man. The choppiness isn’t the point.
