Today, I had to explain to my boyfriend that a tornado is not the same thing as a hurricane. I couldn't convince him, and he still won't talk to me. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I had to explain to my husband that the Earth is not flat. He didn’t believe me. FML
Today, I went to help a friend move into her new apartment. We were half-way through when it started to rain, and in my anger I yelled that it's like these things happen just to annoy me. Then we heard the tornado sirens. FML
Today, my house was damaged by a tornado. I called my mother to see if I could stay with her for a few days. Her response? "I warned you not to move in with a man. This is God's way of punishing you." I've been married to said man for almost a year now. FML
Today, in Tennessee, it stormed like crazy due to Hurricane Harvey. I brought my boyfriend home safely to his parents' house, but it rained harder once we arrived, so I started to wait inside. He's an adult but has a curfew, so they kicked me back out into the storm. FML
Today, my boyfriend refuses to talk to me because of a misread text. FML
Today, my dad thought it would be a good idea to show my 5-year-old son a documentary about Hurricane Katrina. My son is now terrified of hurricanes. We live in Utah. FML
Today, I had to convince my 20-year-old boyfriend that not only is his aquatic turtle a reptile, but that it's also cold-blooded and thus can't regulate its own temperature just by going into its shell. He still thinks I'm the stupid one. FML
Today, my boyfriend keeps trying to convince me that the hickey on his neck was from his friend attacking him with a vacuum cleaner. FML
Today, I had to explain to my boyfriend that no, my period arriving several days late doesn't mean I have AIDS. FML
Today, I told my long-distance friend about the flooding in Florida due to the Supermoon. He's a Flat Earther and despite proof, denies the coincidence because he believes the moon and gravity aren't what we're taught. FML

Well... I guess a hurricane can be considered a tornado that forms over water... They are actually both very similar with Hot and cold air being the creator... Just one over water, one over land.

They are COMPLETELY DEFFERENT PHENOMENA. Look them up and then realise how silly you feel for saying that.

Tornadoes are a vacuum. So to dumb it down for you. They suck. Whereas hurricanes blow. Both are cyclonic....meaning they rotate clockwise. Typhoons (hurricanes in the southern hemisphere) are anticyclonic. But, in rare cases tornadoes can be too. Now go hang out with OP's boyfriend.....dumbass.

Actually, it's the other way around. Tornadoes and tropical cyclones (hurricanes and tropical storms are techcnially tropical cyclones) rotate counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern. And they are completely different. Tornadoes form over land, are fairly small, and last for minutes. They move relatively quickly over land. Tornadoes are rather unpredictable and hard to gauge where they are headed because they move so fast. Hurricanes form over water, require warm water to strengthen, are hundreds of miles wide--did you not watch ANY coverage of Irene? That thing was HUGE--and weaken and break apart over land. Hurricanes can last for days, usually for about a week from formation to dissipation, although some storms have lasted two weeks. They also move relatively slowly, giving meteorologists plenty of time to chart the course so officials know whether or not a region can be evacuated.
