As excited as I am for "Twisters", this official movie poster cannot be ignored. The tornado looks super fake and cheap, and the characters aren't even looking at it. They look like they have no situational awareness and are about to wind up in a Skip Talbot postmortem video.

The wx community is so toxic, and right now particularly. Right now all I see is bickering over driving, calling the day a bust too early, rating the tornadoes, etc. It's sad honestly. It would be nice if we all showed more respect and grace, and had more humility.
