Many thanks to @thresh for giving me the idea. I didn't want to overload you all with words and yapping as I am writing up something for Black Saturday 09 which I have personal experience in.
The Fargo tornado of 1957 was the third in a tornado family to move from Central North Dakota to Central Minnesota. Well known for being the most destructive and violent out of the family, the Fargo Tornado is also known for the deaths of the Munson family children where 6 children in one family were killed. The body of Jeanette is shown below, being carried by the 21 year old Richard Shaw. It was made worse knowing that these children stayed home, unable to escape the violent winds that would soon engulf the home, hiding under the kitchen table. Despite the insistence of their fellow neighbors earlier, they refused to leave, they had prepared a surprise birthday party for their mother. As it happened, Mercedes Munson had asked to get off work early, but the man who was to relieve her was half an hour late. Mercedes Munson was able to reach her 16-year-old daughter on the phone. But then the line abruptly went dead.
This tornado was the cornerstone of tornado research for Dr. Ted Fujita, Fujita would coin the terms “wall cloud”, “tail cloud” and “collar cloud” (NWS, 2019), which are still in use today. Likely if you've heard a series of words like this during tornado season, Fujita was probably the one who created it. He created new ways to research tornadoes such as including aerial photography and the use of satellite images and film. The 1957 Fargo tornado, despite being in an area not familiar to many Americans, was said to be the best documented tornado in history.

Damn...thats so sad. I can't even begin to imagine how terrifying that must've been for those poor children and their family. Tornados can be so beautiful, yet so destructive.

If you're going to write a paragraph about Fujita, how do you leave out the Fujita Scale, bro? You know, the strength rating given to tornadoes that he developed ? F1, F2, etc, the highest rating being F5, also known as the ‘finger of God'. The Joplin tornado was an F5 and is believed to be one of, if not the most destructive tornadoes ever.

We all know the Fujita scale hence why I left it out. I wasn't going to repeat something people already knew. And whilst Joplin is certainly destructive, i don't believe it was the most destructive. There are a few others that can take that title.

HOW CAN A TRUE FORCE OF NATURE HAVE A LEGACY WITHOUT CONSUMING A TRUE FORCE OF MANKIND?
Referring specifically too picture 10, but will not dismiss any.
@PR3D find it unsettling how this edits you're comments too make you seems illiterate.
Vaccines work, except the Covid vaccine which caused more harm than good and caused Myocarditis in young people/children!

Clearly, the situation would have been much safer if she had taken a social worker out of her pocket to defend these children.
And nobody would have even deemed him a threat in the first place, had he just been a social worker in the first place, and threatened the social workers with his social worker.
Unironically, this whole situation could have been avoided had literally every single element of it been replaced with a social worker.
