Here’s a fun tweet from Monday night, when the National Weather Service issued a tornado watch for Douglas County in Kansas. The Lawrence Police Department tried to get citizens to take the warning seriously:

Some people read this as “deck sitting in a lawn chair with a bottle of whiskey season.” Those without a death wish read it as “take necessary safety precautions for the possibility of severe weather.” Please be the latter. https://t.co/waR4q4Ugg0 — Lawrence Police (@LawrenceKS_PD) May 6, 2019

There’s just no reaching some people.

Pft, I'll get my whiskey and my shotgun — Andy R. (@arobidy) May 6, 2019

Please don’t shoot at the tornados. https://t.co/NEA3CDftQS — Lawrence Police (@LawrenceKS_PD) May 6, 2019

It will only make them angrier — Jacob Wallace (@jawallace27) May 6, 2019

Did a tornado write this? — Cameron (@doyouevenlift25) May 7, 2019

This casual bigotry against the fine men and women (and children) of flyover country is disgusting. https://t.co/FW2pM5fok6 — Jeremy Boreing (@JeremyDBoreing) May 7, 2019

I wasn’t even going to, until you gave me the idea. #Thanks! — Giovanni Lido (@Giovanni_Lido) May 7, 2019

My flag, my shotgun, & my pocket Constitution are the only permits I need. pic.twitter.com/0YSJg6hyOK — Zadok Forgeron (@The_J_Team) May 7, 2019

Y'all distract it and I'll sneak up behind it and cuff it. That's how it's done here in Wichita. — [email protected] (@gnslngr10) May 7, 2019

What if it’s a sharknado? Can we shoot in that case? — OldCurmudgeon (@SmartAssSOB) May 6, 2019

I prefer bow and arrow with a detonator. I mean, Sharknado taught us this. — Vitamin G (@RealCoachGripp) May 7, 2019

Not even a 50 cal can stop a hurricane, but in Texas, we shoot and kill tornadoes every day when they are in season. — (((Ed Moran))) (@EdMahmoud) May 7, 2019

Everyone knows that to get rid of a tornado you all just have to plug in your fans and point them at it at the same time and it’ll blow it somewhere else — Officer Daddo (@officerdaddo) May 7, 2019

Scare it off with one of these 🙂 pic.twitter.com/jpi9NPtHV0 — Nejc Vukovic (@nvwebd) May 7, 2019

I once stopped a tornado with my bare hands. Best nightmare ever. — ₱rison Mitch (@PrisonMitch) May 7, 2019

Mitch, no. Just, no. — Lawrence Police (@LawrenceKS_PD) May 7, 2019

Best tweet ever. — Cat Mc (@216Cat) May 7, 2019

This is so Kansas and so amazing. — Jason Greager (@JasonGreager) May 7, 2019

This is the most American tweet I've ever seen. — Trystan Chadwick (@britishteadrink) May 7, 2019
