Let the hate begin...

First, if you haven't watched this 3:48 video, do so now:


Now for the game: mention any sort of error, neglected point, or other non-sequitur or goofy statement.

Everyone else drinks.

Go!
 
I would think if tornadoes "hated" America they would try to avoid it. I don't think they intentionally try to create destruction. It just kinda happens due to their nature. I mean, if they weren't destructive they wouldn't be tornadoes. They're kind of like puppies that tend to chew things up when left alone in a room.
 
The picture of the Elie tornado while talking about funnel clouds irritated me, a funnel cloud doesn't have a circulation touching the ground. It becomes a tornado when it does. However, it is kinda dicey whether that circulation actually touches the ground or not, given the debris. So I can see where he may have been confused(sarcasm)
