A committed dad mows the lawn even though a tornado is swirling behind him. Theunis Wessels had to complete his chores for wife Cecilia last month despite the extreme weather. But as he continued to stride around the lawn, his nine-year-old daughter spied the funnel in the field behind their home. His wife then took a snap in Three Hills, Canada but he still refused to stop cutting the grass. Theunis said: “It looks much closer if you look in the photo, but it was really far away. Well, not really far, far away, but it was far away from us. I was keeping an eye on it.”
