Alberta's "Lawnmower Man" Had The Best Float In His Hometown Parade

He's still keeping an eye on it.

Remember Alberta's "lawnmower man" who kept cutting his grass even though a giant tornado was swirling nearby?

Theunis Wessels of Three Hills, Alberta, just kept doing his thing when most people would have run inside for safety.

When asked about it later, Wessels told the Canadian Press that it looked like the tornado was moving away from him, so he figured he might as well finish the job.

"I was keeping an eye on it," he said.

He threw on his blue shorts and orange shirt to re-create the scene for a parade in his hometown, and it was just perfect.

The float, which identified Three Hills as the "home of the lawnmower man," also included a miniature tornado.

Wessels is going viral again after Twitter user @treesfjnale shared photos from the parade.

The Twitter user, who asked only to be identified as Michala, told BuzzFeed Canada the parade was part of the Three Hills celebration of Canada 150, held on July 8.

There were even a couple of people following the float on foot with their own lawn mowers. 😂
