I like that dinosaur photographs like this are intentionally black-and-white because it was before colour cameras were invented

creative thinking... I am hollaring ๐คฃ
They would still be pelted by debris and die very painfully
Its kinda weird that they havent found more dinosaurs underneath trailer parks.
Huh?
It brings up the question of whether and where tornados formed on ancient contents. If I recall correctly they're really not common outside of North America as they need a pretty particular set of geographical and weather conditions to form.
I don't think tornados are actually that uncommon. North America's tornado alley is special, but even Germany has roof-destroying tornados pretty much every year - they just aren't as big or as frequent.
Sauropods are kind of from everywhere but mostly Asia and North America (as long as what Jurassic World Evolutions III has taught me is accurate). I'm wondering if there'd even had been tornados in those areas back then.
I know NA's Rockies weren't formed until like 50โ60M years ago or so (same for most of today's ranges), and there were no polar ice caps as Pangea was splitting up, so air coming down "Canada" wouldn't have been frigid cold at all. I mean, they're cold-blooded reptiles with legs, but there's plenty found in Canada, even Antqrctica. So all those dinos from NA wouldn't have had tornados. The weather was probably very lush, warm, and chill, especially with all the inland shallow seas.
Would really need to check a map for the rest of them around the world in their eras, but I'm lazy. It'd be pretty easy to guess.
Edit: lol, Seropods... Sauropods* You can tell my knowledge on the Dino part here really is from JWE and that's about it.
Some grad student is going to get access to a wind tunnel for this meme
