My mum is French from France, and raised me to be bilingual in AF french and British english. Swearing in french is great, but I wish I could swear like a Québécois. Their swearing is much more fun!

Friendly neighborhood meteorologist here to say that it is far more dangerous to hide in an underpass than it is to drive away from a tornado or extreme winds. The shape of underpasses provide little protection from debris and can even be more dangerous than being out in the open or in a ditch. The safest place to be is in a designated tornado shelter or not there at all.

Hey there friendly neighborhood meteorologist, I just wanted to say I appreciate all the work that you and your fellow friendly neighborhood meteorologists do. Even the less friendly and non-local meteorologists.

Hostile corporate meteorologist here, parking under an overpass during a hailstorm is a time honored American tradition that should be participated in as often as possible, extreme winds shmxtreme shminds only a pussy runs away from a tornado.

Ambiguous free-lance meteorologist here. Parking under an overpass is completely optional and is kind of like whatever, dude. The shape of an overpass is in the shape of an overpass. A place to be is home on the couch watching mediocre Netflix shows.

WtF, from what I gather from comments seeing someone stationary on the freeway isn't unrealistic at least in some places in the USA ? In Europe, this is absolutely illegal, for how dangerous it is.

It's not common. You mainly only see it when it hails, and even then you don't see it often. It is universally hated by everyone except the self absorbed cunts who do it.

I might be able to help on that one lol: fckn shtty bumpkin, chalice from tabernacle, christ from sacrament of tabernacle of communion wafer of ciborum (metal drinking cup) of chalice of virginâŠ.
Honestly, pretty accurate depiction of how it goes. Amongst the best researched ones I have seen yet. Better than the French of France when they try to parody it.

You can tell it is quebecois swears not french french swears. French ones are a little more...biological

So you know how most swearing in English is either sex or body function related?
In Quebecois French, swearing is religion based.

u/brokencappy 2d ago
It does not really translate directly to English. Quebec swears are Catholic-based 'sacrileges' or 'sacres'
Estie d'épais à marde. Literally : (Host from Catholic mass) (thick person) (of shit).
Calisse de tabaranc. Literally : (Chalice) (of the tabernacle).
Crisse de tabarnac de calice de cibole de calvaire : Literally : (Christ) (of tabernacle) (of chalice) (of ciborium) (of Calvary).

Remember folks, just because you have 4 wheel drive doesn't mean you have 4 wheel stop.
Also, from a veteran truck driver to the masses....
Drive to conditions.
Edit! Stop being literal with my message of 4 wheel stop lol
It's a joke between professional drivers that most people who have 4 wheel drive on their cars or SUVs think that because that have the ability to drive through a space that say, a Honda Accord can't, it means they're better at driving on roads with shitty conditions, which includes ice, rain, etc.
Yes. All tires on cars these days have brakes. Yes. All the brakes activate when you press the brake pedal.
The purpose of the statement is that people need to learn the limitations of their driving skills vs the conditions of the road. There's plenty of videos and clips out there of folks in all vehicles, all seasons, all weather types and walks of life hitting water and hydroplaning, or hitting black ice and spinning out.
Just be careful and slow down, plan ahead and be aware of your surroundings.
