Live in Oklahoma and some of those vehicles ahead may be storm chasers. A lot of news reporters will go out of their way to get footage also
Ornoth
Traffic is gonna get really light really soon.
Richter12x2
Well, that definitely sucks.
drduffer
If the tornado seems to be staying in place relative to you, one of 3 things is happening: it’s coming, it’s going, it’s standing still.

I remember when I first learned about tornadoes. Still Freaks me out that they're real and not made up horror stories/fairy tales
LateNightBunnyParty
I've lived in Oklahoma my whole life (nearly 40 years) and seen/cleaned up after many of them. I've seen some shit. They truly are freaky!
IamTheLardvark
When I was a kid I thought tornadoes were alive cuz they seemed to go for residential areas
They have an affinity for aluminum.

Isn't the rule "if it doesn't look like it's moving, there's a 50/50 chance it's coming right at you"?

One of the few occasions where I'll ever get to type this... You could get hit by a cow!
"I've got to go, we've got cows!"
CaverExtrordinaire
FYI if you are SE through SW to NW of the Tornado and in the Northern Hemisphere you are in the safest place (but still don't get too close)
How does this work?
storms in the northern hemisphere always move northwards, because of the coreolis effect they generally have a NE trend
That's very interesting and new information.
LeJoop
I see the twisty boy, and I might be dumb, but I'm thinking twisty boy direction is the other direction of where I want to go
AlexSomething
Yeah, the only way I'd look at that from my car would be the rearview mirror.
MickScandalous
You aint from around here are ya?
METROlD
People from the south know this off the top of their heads. I dont know what to check for. But basically if its not going right or left...
teeptheteep
If you show the tornado fear, it will smell it, and it will go for the kill.
hotlipss
You must not be from the Midwest.
Gofdunk
Carol Anne, go away from the light... Or tornado
XVUltima
Twisty boys move random and fast. Drive to it, away from it, drive anywhere, your chances don't change.
jasgstock
Not true. Average ground speed of a tornado is about 20mph. Driving away from it is by far best thing to do, if the road is clear.
UsersubPoetLaureate
You must be a meteorologist.
At least!
Isthe4thtimethecharm
Here in Oklahoma the meteorologist run towards the twisty boy.

Midwesterner here, you get used to this sort of thing.
FormerlySable
I’ve lived in TX more than 30 years. Tornadoes still scare me shitless. I know what to do to protect myself, but they scare me.

As a Midwesterner, I would be annoyed I had to stop to let it by.

In Kansas, we sit on our porch with a beer and watch it fly by.
vurcease
Floridian here. As a hurricane veteran, how about NOPE.
infernopg
that's like getting used to someone running at you with a drawn sword and then not getting out of their way. Sorry but that is stupid
Oh my God, would so not want to have to get used to them. You're brave folk!
ProfessorPeePoop
Midwesterner here also, you should not get used THAT particular flavor of close-call
MadHakon
At least some of them might be storm spotters, a group of people who track the movement of these storms and report them to authorities (1)
Ah, yes. Forgot about them. I would sure be running the other way!
And surprisingly there have only ever been reported a handful of related deaths (2)
PballQhead
Only three directly caused by a tornado. More in car accidents and stuff, but they do know how to be safe around the twisty bois
LordSlothaFro
Honest question, can you actually outrun one?
TheSlouchOfBethlehem
In a car, hell yeah. Their movement is unpredictable though, so don't try this at home.
I think it's possible but I believe they change directions quickly. I don't know if you can tell which way it's going to go?
Zapathasura
Why are you heading towards it?!?!?!
TheSlackerKing
works that way

Do other people not have a part of them that wonders if experiencing flight would be worth dying for?

What do you do after you shoot one, though? Like, can you put it over your mantelpiece?

Small glass bottle as punishment. Then it is released back into the wild.

What's the problem? Don't be scared, don't let it control your life. Tornadoes hardly kill anyone. The flu is worse.

Sabru25
tornado is spinning counter-clockwise thus heading the same direction they are. Thus they're in a relatively safe position being behind it.
SoFreshAndSoCleanClean
Just checking... this is a joke, right?
SanMan531
No, no, he used the word "thus" so it must be legit.
Photus
Soo, you think that if you stood on the other side of it it would be spinning clockwise?
terramarkov
What? Then why are they seen as so unpredictable? If that was the case you could tell where it was going by the direction it was spinning.
because occasionally you get one that decides it wants to be different and thus wanders in random ways. look up El Reno tornado 2013.
TheRealGritty
It's like a wives tale. Fact is that in North America almost all tornadoes revolve counterclockwise and in South America it's clockwise
anonnymoosecommenter
Key word is almost. There after rare bois that embrace the counter culture.
