I knew I'll find it here.

[–]GuyintheArmy[S] 1 point2 points ago

I apologize for the quality, when I saved it it wasn't all jpeg attack. Idk why it did that when uploaded

[–]Kylskap 8 points9 points ago

It's ok, I forgive you. And here, I turned it into a png for you, to get a bit higher resolution.

[–]Krieger_San 13 points14 points ago

I believe they are pronounced "Ternaders". Native Texan here. Expert out.

[–]Baknik 3 points4 points ago

Mershed Perterders

'MURICUH

[–]KendallMang 4 points5 points ago

That damn storm just blew over us. I'm not too far from you- Texarkana, Texas. Any damage done?

[–]mel2mdl 1 point2 points ago

My car in Coppel was totaled by the hail. My poor Prius. It is just gone - no windows, wet inside, banged up.

Garland had no damage, but Plano schools were in lockdown until 4:30 or so. Still had kids at 5:00 when I left.

[–]evil_evil_live 0 points1 point ago

A blue frickin' Prius!

[–]GuyintheArmy[S] 1 point2 points ago

my house no we got missed luckily, but I had to go to arlington to help grandparents clean up and they got slammed

[–]hawksterdh 1 point2 points ago

And I'm from Frisco. our schools were all on "severe weather lockdown" and we got let out late. It wasn't even bad.... In Frisco that is. Hope your grandparents are alright. :(

[–]GuyintheArmy[S] -1 points0 points ago

I'm in flower mound and all we got was heavy rain. but when the storms came through I was at my gunrange which was in the direct path of the storm that went over eagle mountain. we all kept shooting till the rain went sideways (hence this post) then we hauled ass out of the path of the storm

[–]hawksterdh 1 point2 points ago

Sounds harsh. Glad you're safe though!

[–]BurntTheToast 0 points1 point ago

I was in Cleburne. One touched down a mile away.

[–]rogue780 -1 points0 points ago

omg, I hate Texarkana

[–]yaharon -5 points-4 points ago

Imagine George Bush's hilarious little Texas accent saying, "Texarkana, Texas".

HAH!

[–]bodaciousbilly 1 point2 points ago

Haha?

[–]yaharon -1 points0 points ago

It's so funny when I imagine it. heeheee

[–]everest84 3 points4 points ago

[–]Rhym 1 point2 points ago

For a second I thought the flag in the background was an action shot of someone with a sword.

[–]barleydog 1 point2 points ago

Meanwhile in Texas...

[–]tututitlookslikerain 1 point2 points ago

Jesus guide my bullets!

[–]GuyintheArmy[S] -1 points0 points ago

If this picture has made its rounds before I must say this guy is actually my friend.

[–]astronautical 20 points21 points ago*

If this guy is your friend, shouldn't it have been easy to find a copy of that image that didn't look like it was constructed by haphazardly clumping bits of dried mud dipped in coloured dyes together in order to create a poor facsimile?

[–]3lementaru 1 point2 points ago

Given the artifacts around the text, I'm gonna guess the image was fine before being edited. OP probably mashed it together in Paint and saved as bmp or something. Might need to call in my buddy who's an expert on low-res photos of shotgun-wielding flag aficionados.

[–]Kylskap 0 points1 point ago

I think the picture needs more compression.

[–]Kevin_Wolf -1 points0 points ago

No, it's been around since before the internet. OP found it on an image search, and it was just the latest in a series of re-pixellated versions.

[–]iamadogforreal 6 points7 points ago

Yeah.. no one says the angry guy with the shotgun isn't a friend.

[–]d46ron1337 3 points4 points ago*

Well he certainly isn't my friend.

Edit: He's right behind me isn't he...

[–]TheCodexx 2 points3 points ago

I'm pretty skeptical you actually know him because you could have easily cited who he is. Or at least dropped what he does for a living. Because I can link to a page of who this guy is right now but 90% of the reposts of this I see can't. That and the fact that he lives in the Midwest, not Texas.

And you definitely didn't take the picture yourself, because this has been around for years and this is by far the most compressed copy I've ever seen.

[–]GuyintheArmy[S] 1 point2 points ago

See where you're wrong is he lies in Houston Texas now. He was in nacogdoches Texas before that. His name is Tyler peppard. I've never said I took the picture.

[–]bodaciousbilly 0 points1 point ago

Checks out. I believe you.

[–]GuyintheArmy[S] 0 points1 point ago

He's a salesman for tempurpedic. how did you get midwest? and who do you think it is?

[–]curtissm0888 1 point2 points ago

GuyintheArmy is right. That's Tyler.

[–]TheCodexx -1 points0 points ago

His name is Geoff "incontrol" Robinson. He plays StarCraft professionally for Team Evil Geniuses.

[–]slayer8a 0 points1 point ago

Did you tie yourself to him? He ain't going anywhere.

[–]glutenfree123 -2 points-1 points ago

...what?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

This is what I yelled as I walked into the bar with my friend during a tornado warning today. No shotgun, sadly.

[–]lookieausername 0 points1 point ago

I'm getting thunderstorms out here in Louisiana. While typing this some lightning hit and it lit up half my wall.

[–]Smil3zG 0 points1 point ago

LOL this is awesome

[–]Cleffer 0 points1 point ago

Tornadoes. The only time Iowa gets to say "You like that??" to other states.

[–]dnmty 0 points1 point ago*

Where's the GoPro?

[–]namtrix 0 points1 point ago

I comment because i too am from the nearby Dallas area. That is all.

[–]Quietbetrayal 0 points1 point ago

All we got in Houston was heavy rain and hail. Luckily I was home at the time so I could just chill and watch it.

[–]MortonamisPrime 0 points1 point ago

When someone brings up the states or Americans I imagine something very similar. Except saying "murica!!!!".

[–]WeaverXIII 0 points1 point ago

It only rained for 25 minutes where I'm at. Didn't see hide or hair of any tornadoes. Wouldn't have even known if my friend hadn't told me.

[–]JigglyPrime 0 points1 point ago

DALLAS REDDITORS FTW!

[–]justplainjeremy 0 points1 point ago

[–]Sammyscrap 0 points1 point ago

The shotgun is a nice touch and good to defend against tornadoes

[–]ual002 0 points1 point ago

Grapevine here.

[–]acheronavernus 0 points1 point ago

I feel like the recoil would rip his dick off if the shotgun accidentally discharged.

[–]HammerStorm 0 points1 point ago

I'm just confused why you didn't save the real flag. ya know, the one that only has one star and two stripes.

[–]bodaciousbilly 0 points1 point ago

The experience for me was pretty silly. We all went from normal to RED ALERT FUCKING TORNADOES HOLY SHIT and back to normal within a couple hours.

Edit: not to downplay the tragedy that many lost their homes, etc.

[–]donttazemebro69 0 points1 point ago

IF THAT THERE TORNADO COMES NEAR MY HOUSE IMA SHOOT IT. THAT'LL LEARN IT.

[–]masterbatts 0 points1 point ago

I live in Fort Worth around TCU. My whole freshman class was told to go to the gym to take cover. I told my friends, "Fuck this, I'm going home and getting on Reddit!" So we all carpooled home.

[–]team_biggie 0 points1 point ago

That's how I feel every day

COMMIN' AGAIN TO SAVE THE MOTHERFUCKIN' DAY YEAH!

[–]moogoogaipan11 -2 points-1 points ago

EVERY TEXAN MUST FACE A TORNADO AND SHOOT IT WITH A GUN! 'MURICA!

[–]youngavlol -4 points-3 points ago

repost number 5. and thats just the ones ive seen.

[–]GuyintheArmy[S] 3 points4 points ago

which is the point of my comment. I haven't seen them but he's a personal friend, he's got a couple more with this shoot but this is the only one that got pooular

[–]Liface 1 point2 points ago

Was your posting of a horribly-compressed image a homage to your friend?

[–]youngavlol 0 points1 point ago

well if it makes you feel any better i didn't downvote. and at least you have a valid reason for reposting instead of just doing it because you dont see it on the first page.

[–]GuyintheArmy[S] 7 points8 points ago

My "you don't believe me" verification of friend status. http://i.imgur.com/0rjWH.jpg http://i.imgur.com/7Z6Y8.jpg

[–]liberal_texan 4 points5 points ago

That last image must have been at the dinner thrown for him after he defeated the tornado with his shotgun.

[–]ual002 2 points3 points ago

Sir defeats tornado. Dons suit. Classy dining tonight. Whataburger.

[–]liberal_texan 2 points3 points ago

Whataburger is fucking awesome.

[–]ual002 0 points1 point ago

Honey BBQ chicken strip sandwich FTW

[–]bodaciousbilly 1 point2 points ago

moar liek A1 motherfucking thick and hearty burger.

[–]youngavlol 0 points1 point ago

i believed you. thats why i said i didnt downvote and that you had a valid reason. i read the whole bit about him being a friend and sorry if it made rounds. i was merely saying yeah it has and that was the 5th post id seen of that particular picture.

[–]SouthernDerpfornia 0 points1 point ago

Verified? Ah fuck it, close enough for me.

[–]glutenfree123 -5 points-4 points ago

dude no

[–]tadowguy -1 points0 points ago

Replace "tornadoes" with "liberals" and you have Dallas the other 364 days.

[–]Wyrmshadow 2 points3 points ago

Dallas is incredibly liberal.

[–]tadowguy 1 point2 points ago

The city itself may be (for Texas), but the suburbs are not. I lived in Plano for 3 years.

[–]Wyrmshadow 0 points1 point ago

And I'm in FW... we're much more conservative than Bid D.. even though the Telegram isn't.

[–]Iamjebson -1 points0 points ago

nice repost you fuck

[–]lamester -1 points0 points ago

Save as: "Meanwhile in America"

[–]Howcanibeofservice -1 points0 points ago

Yes a 1000x

[–]Justintime233 -1 points0 points ago

Did you edit that photo with a ham sandwich?

[–]Nummy_Naan -1 points0 points ago

Murica

[–]Thebearshark -3 points-2 points ago

Obligatory comment about the photo being taken with some kind of vegetable

[–]lookieausername 0 points1 point ago

Dude it's old what the fuck do you expect? Not everyone can afford grade A cameras.

[–]tidux -2 points-1 points ago

I'm imagining a "fuck tornado" as an orgy in a windstorm, some sort of Dragonball Z finishing move, or both.
