Greatest badass of all time

This is real. 

A photo of a man in Alberta, Canada mowing a lawn with a tornado swirling behind him.

Cecilia Wessels snapped the picture of her husband, Theunis, as the twister passed near their home in Three Hills. She said cutting the grass was on her husband’s to-do list, and as he started the task, she went for a nap.

Wessels says she was woken by her nine-year-old daughter who was upset that there was something like a tornado in the sky, but her father wouldn’t come inside.

“It looks much closer if you look in the photo,” he said. “But it was really far away. Well, not really far, far away, but it was far away from us. I was keeping an eye on it.”

Who can’t respect the desire to complete a chore once you’ve started it?
