(WWJ) - Would you just keep on mowing?
A photo of a Canadian man has gone viral as, throwing caution to the wind, he tends to his lawn with a tornado in the background.

According to reports, Alberta resident Theunis Wessels — who calmly continued cutting as the ominous twister passed by the house — told his wife who snapped the picture he was "keeping his eye on it."
Cecilia Wessels told the Times Colonist that mowing the yard was on her husband's to-do list; and, although the couple's 9-year-old daughter was reportedly concerned about Dad, he refused to come inside contending that the tornado was further away then it appeared.
Trying to mow the lawn while a tornado rages behind you is about as "life in 2017" as it gets
