It's time to bring it up again. When anyone willingly enters a disaster area after an EF-4 hits a town, you will witness death and great bodily injury. Please remember that YOU chose to enter. YOU chose to post this on social media for clout. YOU chose to make this about YOU.

I've always wondered what the reasoning for running amber/white lights to the rear while actively driving in heavy rain is.. Other than looking like a goofball and creating a traffic hazard, of course. Encountered a lot of this on 1-2-23 on Highway 69 and I-40 in OK. #wxtwitter ?

EF-x is a damage level rating. EF-5 means people are dead almost completely without exception. Give me violent tornadoes in a cornfield all day but wanting EF-5’s bc theres been a drought is… comically stupid.
