Tornado Selfie: Fearless or Fake?

In 2014, a selfie featuring a man casually posing with a swirling tornado in the Australian outback sparked a mix of awe and confusion. At first, it seemed like the kind of fearless Aussie stunt you’d expect from someone with nothing but adventure on their mind.

Turns out, the selfie was just as real as your average Hollywood special effect. The tornado was digitally created as part of a clever marketing campaign for Into the Storm. But the internet, ever gullible and amused, went wild. The “Tornado Selfie” quickly became a meme sensation—proving that even fake danger can make for viral gold!
