Cue Emergency Alert System end tones
As the tornado sirens wail across Canterlot, Celestia, Luna, Cadence, and Twilight take cover in the royal castle underground bunker with a weather radio, and brace for the inevitable as they can only pray that the monster does not cause any of their citizens or friends caught in the path of it to pay the ultimate price as it ravages the landscape above…
Trust me, I’ve seen the carnage of the 1999 and 2013 Moore, Oklahoma F5 tornadoes. I know what I’m talking about.
Same here. I may be scared of them, but I respect them as well since they are, as Preacher called them in the movie Twister, the Finger of God.
True. In the immortal words of Doctor Howard Bluestein: “When people ask me if I am afraid of tornadoes, I always tell people that I have a healthy respect for them.”
Yeah, I’ve seen the footage of those tornadoes on The Weather Channel or the series Storm Chasers with Reed Timmer from TornadoVideos.net, IMAX filmmaker Sean Casey, and Dr. Joshua Wurman from the Center for Severe Weather Research. The carnage those tornadoes leave behind makes one believe you’ve walked right into a war zone where your neighborhood used to be, and the possibility of finding people injured or even deceased weighs heavily on your heart.

And you can hear it roaring and howling as it tears along the ground. Though as for Canterlot, since it’s on a mountainside, it would be vulnerable to the debris the tornado is chucking out like missiles as it tears across the ground in the valley below.
