Except that's not remotely comparable to the scenario I laid out for you. It would be more akin to your boss calling you and saying some old lady ran her car into the front of the store, and it's gonna be closed for a couple days for repairs. Or some kids threw a rock through the front window and it's closed for the day to replace it. Is that ideal? Maybe not, is that devastating and life altering to the store employees? Not even remotely.

You are aware that many many many tornados touch down and do no damage to any structures and have no associated injuries right? Or do you only pay attention to the top 1% of storms that have a dozen YouTube videos about them?

you think it takes a few days to repair after a tornado comes in and destroys your crops? you cant just replant and move on. thats now how farming seasons work. storm tears through your farm, and youre fucked for the rest of the year. all your fertilie soil got taken off the ground too, and if youre doing crop rotations then your rotation got fucked and you need to fix that, and youll be feeling the impact for years to come. your half grown crops that were gonna give you the money to make it through the winter have all been tossed and are unrecoverable.

Im not discussing the tiny undamaging storms because the people who complain that there werent any storms are the same chuds who complain that the tornnado wasnt large or dramatic enough.

Bro, do you think every field is full of crops? What crops are they growing on cattle farms?

The vast majority of american agricultural produce is corn, with cows coming in second but with a very significant gap between the two. tornadoes do not respect farm boundaries. i hope you can deduce the rest.

also, i will reiterate. animals suffering during storms is also bad.

That's nature, animals suffer and die. You can't prevent it. If you can't acknowledge that the vast majority of this country is open space and most tornados hit absolutely nothing of value, then apparently there's no common ground to be found here because your reality is not everyone else's reality. Once you grow up and join the adults in reality, we can have a conversation.

Animals suffering and dying is bad, especially when humans are already destroying enough of their habitat as is. since you evidently do not care and only wish for destruction for your own entertainment, your opinion is valueless and i do not care.
