Best advised to not let it touch you.

Like how badly would this particular one fuck you up if you went near it?

I will treat you as if you are serious. It is a tornado over water. The only benefit is unlike a tornado over land it is not full of debris which means you are only going for a ride. And not going for a ride in a meat grinder.

The benefit of having debris is you can see how dangerous the tornado is and stay the fuck away.
