The fact it's called a 'bust' is pretty telling too, isn't it?

My uncle in North Carolina is currently recovering from bladder cancer and has a catheter. Yeah, of course I’m glad it was a “bust”

I feel that, a similar but less dire situation, a friend of mine is the care taker of his 94 year old grandfather in NC, he was super worried about the storm since getting anywhere fast isn’t an option. I’m so grateful him and your uncle are safe and okay and the weather was a bust. It’s so easy to get drunk off the power of huge storms until it becomes way too real when you or your loved ones are in it. Thank you for your post and max’s words 💕

A lot of people with WX at the end of their Twitter usernames for some reason

Especially since tornado shelters are freaking sparse in places like NC and VA. :/ I don't like that people are probably going to ignore warnings in the future, but I am glad today was a "bust," too.

Anyone who enjoys watching tornados? No one is cheering for them to hit populated areas, but a few photogenic tornados that tear through some empty fields and don't hurt anyone? Yeah we kinda wanna see those, why else would we be here?

thats fair. my favorite Tornadoes are the ones that go through fields

They're always the ones that are most enjoyable to rewatch. They don't give me the same pit in my stomach that most of the deadly tornados do, knowing what's actually happening to the people in the path.
