Bloke Snapped Mowing Lawn During Twister Says He Was “Keeping An Eye On It”

Let’s get one thing straight: nothing can get between an adult male homeowner and an unkempt lawn. It’s like a natural reflexive instinct to wheel the mower out of the shed and just go to town on long grass – rain, hail or shine. We have evolved as a species not to allow the grass on the front lawn to remain tragically unmowed.

Now behold this Canadian bloke who made it his solemn duty to mow the lawn even though an extremely large tornado loomed behind him.
Cecilia Wessels snapped the picture of her husband Theunis to show off the tornado to relatives, but the biggest question everyone had was about her husband – namely why the hell he was mowing his lawn.
“I literally took the picture to show my mum and dad in South Africa,” she said. “And now everyone is like, ‘Why is your husband mowing the lawn?”

For his part, Theunis claims that the twister was actually not really that close – despite the fact it looks pretty bloody close – thanks to a trick of the camera. “It looks much closer if you look in the photo, but it was really far away. Well, not really far, far away, but it was far away from us,” he said.
“I was keeping an eye on it.”

Truly the best attitude when confronted with a terrifying maelstrom of wind and horror while mowing the lawn is to just keep your peepers on it and reassess if it gets a little closer.
