While a raging tornado in Nebraska is an unconventional and decidedly risky backdrop for a proposal, for X user Juniper Blake it became a powerful symbol of her love for her girlfriend. Well, the couple gave new meaning to 'whirlwind romance' after they got engaged in front of a huge tornado.
“I also proposed to my partner today!! We stopped so we could see the tornado that was 40 minutes away from us. We both love storms and chasing storms so I wanted to propose before a storm. I never thought I would actually get the chance to do it in front of a tornado,” Ms. Blake wrote on X and also posted a video of their adorable moment.
She shared further details, saying it is “literally” a dream come true for her. She added: “I've been wearing the ring since April.” It is indeed still April, I meant since the beginning of April.”
“The tornado when I proposed kept disappearing and landing again,” she wrote on X.

Meanwhile, powerful tornadoes ripped through the US state of Nebraska this week, damaging several homes.
Videos and photos on social media showed massive black tornadoes streaking through the sky, turning over soil, dust and materials in their path.
The National Weather Service (NWS) has recorded more than 70 tornadoes in the US, most of them around Omaha, a transportation hub in Nebraska. About 11,000 homes were without power when tornadoes struck Nebraska.
Tornadoes, weather phenomena that are as impressive as they are difficult to predict, are relatively common in the US, especially in the central and southern parts of the country.
