This is the picture of the year.  I care not that there is still more than half of it to go.  The contest is now officially over.

A Canadian woman snapped this picture to show her South African parents what a tornado is all about.  What she didn’t realize was how much fun the internet would have with her husband calmly and collectively mowing the lawn in front of the storm that touched down near Alberta on Friday.

Which version of the story do you want to hear?  That he was frantically trying to get his yard work in before the storm hit, like a BOSS?  Or that the picture doesn’t truly tell how close it is or what direction the storm was moving?

I know the one I’ll be telling.  And it already sounds AWESOME in my head.  — [eric]
