What, was the grass supposed to cut itself?
A particularly diligent man in Alberta, Canada, was recently photographed mowing his lawn as a tornado swirled menacingly in the distance.

His wife, Cecilia, said she snapped the photo to show her parents in South Africa, who rarely see tornados.

She later told Mashable that the photo's viral success "has been strangely wonderful, overwhelming, crazy, super fun, exhausting, highly educational, and just superb."
"At best, we are happy that we could share a huge smile on people's faces for a weekend," she said in an email, adding, "Keep an eye on your goals no matter the storm."
Wessels wasn't the only resident of Three Hills, Alberta, to capture the two-toned tornado as it swirled through the small town last Friday.
Videos cropped up in recent days showing the 31-mile-an-hour twister rattling trees and ripping across the grass.
No injuries were reported from the tornado, though some photos show downed trees and a barn with its roof ripped off, the Canadian Press reported. Other images showed driveways slick with tiny spheres of hail.
Just 27 minutes after the first tornado alert was issued, Alberta emergency officials reported the tornado threat was over.
UPDATE: June 7, 2017, 9:55 a.m. EDT This story was updated to include Cecilia Wessels' photo and comments.
