me spending way too much time researching tornado outbreaks in minnesota all for the purpose of giving adam some backstory in this fic i’m writing in what little free time i have is just proof that i am so so normal about him. i am not insane

#i think what we have maybe all forgotten is that minnesota is very much still a midwestern state. with all the tornadoes that come with that #from what i've been able to gather because i may be just a little insane and i've been looking through minnesota's recorded history of #tornadoes. there have been none that touched down in windom from 1990-2009 #HOWEVER. the comfrey-st. peter tornado outbreak (which led to fourteen tornadoes touching down) did happen in comfrey which is like #only half an hour away from windom #and from the radar images of the supercell that caused it i've been able to scrounge up there WERE parts of the storm that went over windom #there just wasn't a vortex that touched down there.#and considering how red and yellow the part that was passing over windom was there is no doubt in my mind it was still a bit of hell #sorryyyyyy i've been fascinated by meteorology since i was little and i am always dying to give adam some backstory and this is #a perfect way i can combine the two. though you always have to be careful when addressing that sort of thing in fictional scenarios because #people's homes WERE destroyed and at least two lives were lost yknow. it was still a very real thing that happened #but i would be researching this sort of thing even if my stupid fanfic wasn't the reason behind it. the tornado that touched down in comfrey #was an f4/ef4. like it was Powerful.#from an anniversary video i watched about it that had some of the survivors speaking one woman mentioned that the radio cut out #halfway through the broadcast because the antenna had fallen #which is just terrifying to think about let alone experience #ghghghgbhb anyway. i am so normal guys i promise #azure rambles
