people will hear you talk about struggling with mental illness and say “you can do anything if you just put your mind to it”. brother what part of the body does the mental illness happen in. what do you think is the problem

“Lift with your legs you idiot!”

“I have a BROKEN TIBIA! That needs support and time to recover!”

Without looking it up, when you first hear "Tornado Warning", what does that mean to you?

I have met. so many people in real life who do not know what "Tornado Watch" means, who do not know what "Tornado Warning" means.

literally 9 out of 10 (aka 90%) of people I meet think that "Tornado Watch" is the more dangerous alert, and think "Tornado Warning" is less severe.

Most people I meet who hear 'Tornado Warning' think it's a good idea to go outside and look at the cool clouds.

FEMA or whoever needs to officially change these stupid-ass names, or do one HELL of a public awareness campaign, because this can and will get people killed; there's already been multiple deadly tornadoes just this week.

[ID: Caption from article: A powerful tornado near Waverly Road in the Lincoln, Nebraska, metro area on April 26, 2024. It shows a vast flat field with a massive tornado in the distance, funneling down from storm clouds in the foreground, while a bright and blue sky is visible behind the destructive storm, with houses in the distance. end ID]

Tornado Watch: Watch out, and be cautious! -- Keep an ear out for alerts, and make sure you know where you need to take shelter! A tornado could possibly form in this storm, and you need to be ready.

  • Tornado Watch is a good time to secure your pets in your safe area (in carriers/crates), grab important documents/belongings, make sure your valuable electronics are unplugged, etc.
  • .
  • Make sure you have flashlights (Ideally, that are not just your cellphone) with working batteries. If you have an emergency radio, keep it turned on and tuned to a local radio station. Bring bottled water and non-perishable food to your safe area.
  • .
  • If you have a basement, make sure there is a clear area for you to shelter in, and that everyone can get down the stairs/ladder safely.
  • .
  • If you do not have a basement, go to the lowest floor of your home, in a room away from as many windows as possible; if this room is your bathroom, take down the shower curtain rod (so it can't fall on you), and take down any other loose objects that could fall.
  • .
  • Bring some spare blankets and pillows into your safe area, both for comfort and extra protection.
  • .
  • Make sure your family knows that if a warning is sounded, or if signs of a tornado are seen or heard outside your home, that they need to go to the safe area immediately.
  • .
  • Make sure in advance that your family is wearing appropriate shoes + clothing in case of emergency, and that everyone has their phones charged and on hand.

Tornado Warning = Warning! A Tornado is currently forming or is already formed! -- Take shelter immediately on the lowest floor of your home away from windows!

  • Drop what you're doing and get to your safe area. You no longer have time for preparation-- your only focus now is getting to your safe area!
  • .
  • Alert family members, if they're not in the safe area already.
  • .
  • Once you are all in your safe area, close the door, have everyone huddle together as low to the ground as you can get, and wrap everyone up in your spare blankets, putting pillows over your heads, etc.
  • .
  • Try to keep everyone calm, if at all possible.

I literally have this image printed out on my bulletin board at work (my staff and I do a lot of work outdoors) :

[ID: a tweet by Normal Fire Department (Normal, IL) From May 3rd (unknown year) that reads "since We are under a severe thunderstorm watch this evening, It's a good time to go over the difference between a watch and a warning.
Watch: 🟧 [orange square emoji] : we have the ingredients to make tacos
Warning: 🟥[red square emoji] We are having tacos. Right now. "
Underneath the text is two images, one labled "taco watch" that has tortilla shells, ground meat, lettuce, tomato, cheese, a jalapeno avocado and salsa sitting on a counter, showing taco ingredients.
The other image is labled "taco warning" and shows a fully assembled taco . End ID]

Okay, this graphic is genuinely genius because it is so funny, more people need to see this lol.

also, even though this rarely happens, if you get an alert that says Tornado Emergency, that means you need to get underground or in your shelter immediately. Do not wait. Not doing so could get you killed.

i live in a place where nobody takes Watch or Warning very seriously, because tornadoes happen more where i live than anywhere else in the world. but as soon as the weather service declares an Emergency, everyone packs it up and gets their ass to the shelter.

rich people be losing theoretical money and making it our problem. like imagine anyone not wealthy being like "this is how much money I thought I would be making and since I'm not, I'm taking it from someone who needs it way more than me" and then we call it inflation or rising costs of living
