Now remember, if you see a funnel cloud and then wake up in the middle of a field with your pants around your ankles and a 5 dollar bill pinned to your shirt, it probably wasn't a tornado.

CP can start a storm chaser group and try to get a metal garbage bin full of empty popcans to be sucked up by Tornados

Not to sound racist, but I really hope a tornado would destroy several cultures within Calgary.

Still not true... in a high precipitation supercell, nearly the entire bottom of the storm can be shrouded in rain, leaving no gap or calm between the rain column and the tornado.

Those are harder to get a hold of. People take those inside right away because left out, they can be a glaring signal for thieves to rob their homes

Still not true? Actually the picture and my experience says otherwise, and your explanation as well. "Can be" doesn't mean "always is".
If you ask anyone that's been through a tornado, they'll tell you about that silence, I promise you that.

Exactly, "can be" doesn't mean "always". There is NEVER always a calm before a tornado, it's a "can be". Saying it always happens can be dangerous as people may purposely look for a calm before thinking a tornado is on the ground.

Here is a pic that shows a supercell. The storm would be moving from left to right.
