I do hope others don't try to duplicate what this photographer did. Seriously, get away from the windows and take cover. Those things are killers.

I grew up in an L.A. Suburb, as did my parents. Tornedos were NOT part of the picture. But there is no climate change.

Can completely understand why someone filming it would have no context for the danger he was in. No basements, but for Pete's sake get away from the windows and against an interior wall. He is a lucky man. No climate change my a$$.

Crazy weather you have had. No rain for years, then torrential downpours, mudslides, and tornadoes.

That's why they built a small airport, so small planes could be tossed around.

but, off topic, it might be my age talking when I have to say language and communication have gotten to the point of non-existence- in general, not just this video. When everything is a series of bleeps (and we all know what was said anyway), it still could have been said using real language but I guess that takes more effort. It's just generational or what they don't get in school, I guess, but a tricky road to go down for the future. Explains a lot.
