Its Alberta, I lived in Three Hills for several years. In the summer it's thunderstorms and funnel clouds at 3-4pm everyday like clockwork.

Albertan here. What else do you do in that situation, leave the lawn half mowed?
mailman7777777
Turn Lawn Mower over, the reverse spin of the blades will counteract and dissipate the Tornado. You may need more than one mower.
Stillrelevant69
My wife would be the same..you mow that lawn today i dont give a shit what else happens today

You do you tornado. im just gonna do my thing.
HerbRice
Theunis Wessels is also a fantastic name.
ABonkeysManana
I believe he must be from South Africa. Because that's a common surname and his name is definitely Afrikaans.

My dad did this with an F4 blocking out a good chunk of the sky. When garbage started flying overhead we finally went to the basement.

And in Australia, we just don't live where tornadoes happen. We have them, regularly, but we just don't live there.

He must've had a hard time mowing with the MASSIVE SET OF BALLS HE HAS.

So Alberta is the Kansas of Canada?

This is something that would make Hank Hill proud.

supersomatic
That's the most South African name I've seen since Wikus van de Merwe
TanithRosenbaum
What distinguishes it from a typical Dutch name?
HookersandBlow
Dats Dutch. Them Dutch moved a lot to Africa. I love cheese and druppies btw. The Dutch blood moves strong through this Canadian.
technobass
Clearly he is trying to beat the rain. I've lived in tornado alley for years, everyone knows you have a small window of opportunity to mow.
DandyTheFuckingDandelion
My dad would probably do the same shit.
riChchestMat
Dammit yes violets ARE violet

"Mandatory credit". Like, "We didn't really want to give the photographer credit, but our lawyers said we didn't have a choice."
YaroslavStekhov
it means that ANY media that reprints that, should give credit.
ThrenR
lol almost missed that

Theunis Wessels are you from Bloemfontein?
Melkbos
He can like to wear tight jean pant
chr1spybeefpls
The Dutchman is strong with this one
Deathbytray

kevind13
Ya the article says they're from SA.
Justag33k
This reminds me of how it feels living in America right now
MADhouse64
I KNEW there was something familiar about this!
KimJungPun
Yeah, but the tornado MISSED his house.. I assume.
Klnwltrnk
Is your whole family rooting for the tornado simply because it annoys the guy mowing the lawn? I know mine is.
EmilinRose
more like the guy can't do anything about the destrictive whirly-wind so he's keeping an eye on it
Baalzak
We're keeping an eye on it.

kibbypie
We even get them in Ontario occasionally when there are bad thunderstorms. A few houses near my Mom's were flattened a few years back.
R2DeepThroat94

ActualNine
Had an f5 a few years back up here
Bystandr
Common in Alberta and Saskatchewan , but Ive even seen a couple of water spouts here in SW British Columbia. Frequency increasing with temp,
Bystandr
as well.
GrandpaRossysOldManDongs
They've happened on every continent except for Antarctica.
MyDogJake
Yeah. Wind doesn't recognize international bourdries.
CottonCandiJenni
Actually this was an illegal tornado. The good ones go through the proper channels.
Nazcom
Tornado Alley extends up past Edmonton, get quite a few in Alberta and Sask.
ShaunDreclin
I think they mostly happen in the prairie provinces
StaringAtSidewalks
Honestly they are rare, even in the prairies.
NextineX
Alberta gets several every year. I wouldn't call that rare.
Nazcom
Yeah not really rare, especially in south central Alberta.
JohnnyPeaches
Starting to happen more and more with the way climate has been changing.

Pretty sure there have always been tornadoes. Not everything needs to be about CC.
JohnnyPeaches

JayEnfield
My great-grandparents living in Alberta and Saskatchewan had to contend with em plenty.
