In a bizarre twist of events, a husband from Alberta, Canada, has become an internet sensation after being photographed mowing his lawn with a tornado ominously swirling in the distance. The image captures the essence of dedication—or perhaps, a touch of madness—when it comes to yard work.
My partner has a penchant for mowing the lawn at the most inconvenient times. Whether it’s high noon on a sweltering summer day or right before a thunderstorm, he seems to thrive on making the task as uncomfortable as possible. I used to think this was just his way of achieving some kind of household martyrdom, but now I realize I’m not alone in this observation.
Cathy Johnson, who shared the now-viral photo of her husband, Greg, told local news outlets that she had just settled down for a quick nap when her daughter woke her up in a panic. “She was upset because there was a tornado in the sky, but her father wouldn’t come inside,” Cathy recounted. “It was a little unnerving, to say the least.”
Greg, unfazed, was busy tending to the lawn while keeping an eye on the storm. “It may look close in the photo, but it was actually a few kilometers away,” he explained. “Just part of the job, I guess.”
The Johnsons were about two to five kilometers from the funnel cloud and roughly 20 minutes from where it eventually touched down. “It was quite the adventure,” Cathy remarked, shaking her head.
This captivating image resonates with many of us who have partners that exhibit a singular focus when it comes to outdoor chores. My husband, for instance, can meticulously trim the grass but will conveniently ignore the accumulating dishes—leaving all the silverware behind. It’s amusing how yard work can bring out a level of commitment that often seems missing in other household tasks.
“I shared the picture with my parents in South Africa just to show them the storm, and now everyone is asking why my husband was mowing the lawn!” Cathy laughed. It’s a fair question.
Ultimate husband level: unlocked.
