In case you just flat-out fukken missed it, Melbourne was issued with a legit tornado warning early this afternoon, and it has been confirmed that at least one struck the ground at Tullamarine, Craigieburn, and Campbellfield between 1:30pm and 2pm.



It was kind of a big deal:



Now the #1 thing about Australians – aside from our ability to slag off Fosters at every given opportunity – is our ability to take the absolute piss out of everything.



So FOR REASONS WE JUST TALKED ABOUT, approx. 60 seconds after news of the tornado hit (pun totally intended, because shit, this is Pedestrian), people took to Twitter to out-pun the living daylights out of each other.

This dude knows exactly what’s up.



He posted this photo to Reddit with the caption: “If this isn’t a good reason to go to the pub I don’t know what is.”



But nobody – and we mean NOBODY – had a better time than this woman at Oaks Day / Soaks Day who saw an opportunity for some good ol’ fashioned fun and carpe diemed that shit.



But guys it’s okay we’re gonna rebuild this shit, pls don’t cry.
