flirting with people is impossible i get nervous and end up talking about how a team of meteorologists recorded windspeeds of over 300mph on 2 seperate DOWs (Doppler on Wheels (a mobile weather radar station)) during the May 3rd 1999 EF-5 tornado in Moore Oklahoma

@quasar yeah thats fair

however i never really understood how bad it was until someone linked a random youtube video, not even really about tornadoes or anything, it just had one in the thumbnail.

i recognized it immediately and then infodumped about that specific event for the next like 30 minutes
