It's Cananada, there is no sense in asking, they have many freaky ways of expressing themselves, eh!

I've seen some pretty shameless clickbaitey ads in the past, but this one from tonight takes the cake:
First off, there is no threat of any tornado or any storm in Knoxville tonight. It is 83 and partly cloudy with a decent chance of a plesant sunset. So the whole "tornado alert" part of this isn't even remotely close to being accurate. Creating false panic for ad clicks = Strike 1.
Second, the visual is of a hurricane going across some ocean. We don't have oceans in Tennessee. Failing elementary weather knowledge of the differences between hurricanes & tornadoes = Strike 2.
Not knowing proper geography = Strike 3.
That's 3 strikes.. you're out. Worst advertising gimmick I have seen in quite some time.

I think you have it wrong. The Tennessee Ocean is in Tennessee. And Hurricane Dolly is coming through tomorrow. You better prepare!

That's not good. Hurricane Dolly is forecasted to be a cat. 9 - 5

True. Reminds me of when our farm got a direct hit from Hurricane Jolene years ago.
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene... I'm begging of you, please don't take my land.
Sad memories. I remember Hurricane Jolene's last words as she left your cherry farm...True. Reminds me of when our farm got a direct hit from Hurricane Jolene years ago.

Tennessee, cherry trees
That is all I am taking with me

Sadly, the storm smashed some of the cherry trees into the stables, getting juice everywhere.
That's how we got our goat of many colors.
I hope Dollywood be a kinder hurricane to your trees and goat.

For those of you just tuning-in and are very confused, we're doing a salute to Dolly Parton's hits tonight in the corniest of fashion. Feel free to sing along if you wish. @JenniferS is serving fresh, hand-cut fries in concessions. Please practice safe social distancing in the aisles. Sorry, no refunds after the show.

Bacon burgers too.
To be fair, we threw a lot of stuff out, but we didn't actually clean our house. Just got rid of some of the unclean stuff and let the other unclean stuff remain. But it's a step in the right direction, I guess.

Three of them are wallowing in their filth. One of us is about to lose her mind.
Their filth is encroaching into my space. No bueno.
I’m going to text my cleaning lady tomorrow, and see if she’s in a position to come back. Her rate is $20/hour cash. I’ve always paid $22. I may even offer her hazard pay. I just don’t know if she has anyone to mind her kids.

It rained really hard yesterday, with winds and thunder. Last night out power was out for just over two hours. Trees came down all over. Glad that storm is over, LOL

Like @PUSH we got rid of things. This past two years has been a journey in minimalism for me. It takes me about a half hour to clean my house now.... an hour if I'm doing a deeper scrub. The less stuff you have, the less time it takes to clean.
You seem like you've been giving yourself a pretty hard time this week for how quarantine has treated you. Maybe put "give myself some grace" on that lengthening to-do list...

Nah, the house is a tip, it needs to be cleaned. No excuses.
I have no problem chucking stuff. The menfolk are hoarders.
