This is the second comic about tornadoes, a [[:Category:Tornadoes|recurring subject]] on xkcd, but it was the first to actually show a tornado. Storm chasers hunting tornadoes was also mentioned in the first comic about tornadoes [[402: 1,000 Miles North]] and they were also shown in [[752: Phobia]]. | This is the second comic about tornadoes, a [[:Category:Tornadoes|recurring subject]] on xkcd, but it was the first to actually show a tornado.
