Did your office just turn dark? Did your Instagram just fill up with apocalyptic-looking sky photos? Did you feel a dark shadow creep over your shoulders as if the Grim Reaper himself were going in for the hug? WHAT IS HAPPENING OUT THERE?

There's currently a tornado watch for New York City until 5 p.m., and the giant green band on this satellite weather map is on top of us which—if our eyes are to be believed—means a lot of rain. And a lot of gray skies. To be honest guys, NOAA is running on fumes due to the government shutdown so who the fuck knows what's really going on. Have a drink.

When reached for comment about the current weather situation, our go-to weather guy Joe Schumacher told us, "Tornadoes are far from my mind. I'm sitting on a park bench in Asheville, paralyzed with indecision over what brewpub to have lunch at." Thanks Joe, pour one out for us?
