Tornado Precautions?

My wife found this on her Facebook.  We both thought it was hilarious,  primarily because it is close to the truth. 

Many years ago,  before we went to Minnesota for my first formal teaching job,  we did just about what is pictured for Texans.  Except,  we were sitting in lawn chairs,  eating and drinking,  just watching the show.  That show was multiple little F1’s spun up out of nothing,  about a thousand feet away or so,  out here on the farm.  They got bigger as they moved downwind.   

The nearest town is 4 miles away line-of-sight,  but there were no tornadoes over there,  so there were no sirens to ignore.
