Here It Comes Meme Template

This is the Tornado Selfie / “Here It Comes” image, not a generic unidentified tornado encounter. Know Your Meme traces the source to a staged August 2014 viral video by Australian creator Terry Tufferson, created with VFX by The Woolshed Company as promotion for the film Into the Storm. The image later circulated as a reaction and object-labeling meme; KYM describes a 2019 variant pairing “People Born in the 90s” with a tornado labeled “30s.” Its dramatic expression and approaching dust devil signal alarm, impending chaos, or an overwhelming force. The contrast works especially well when an everyday problem is framed as an approaching disaster. The CSV description correctly identifies the reaction and dust devil but presents the source as uncertain and calls the still high-definition; the active asset is 250×138 and the origin is documented.

The active 250×138 image is a low-resolution still of a man in a dark shirt, close to the camera with his mouth open and face tense, while a tall brown dust devil rises in the barren landscape behind him. There are two generic caption areas: one at the top and one at the bottom. No caption is baked into this active asset.

Use the top caption to establish a plan, expectation, or person who thinks things are under control; use the bottom caption to reveal the approaching disruption, consequence, or next escalation. The man-and-dust-devil composition supplies the impending threat, so keep the text concise and connected. The two lines can also label a person and the looming force, echoing the object-labeling variant, but the editor’s text fields themselves sit above and below the image. Use fictional or low-stakes chaos rather than making real disaster victims the joke.

1. Top caption: establish the person, plan, or calm expectation before the looming disruption.
2. Bottom caption: reveal the approaching problem, consequence, or escalation; make it connect to the setup above.

• A small work or school problem is about to become a bigger one
• A calm plan is interrupted by an obvious, looming complication
• A familiar deadline, bill, or routine task is approaching with exaggerated menace
• Labeling an age group or person against an impending life stage or change

• Do not claim the source was a real unscripted encounter with a tornado; the video was a VFX marketing production.
• Do not write two unrelated lines; the lower line should be the looming disruption or consequence of the upper setup.
• Do not put actual caption text into the image itself; active text fields are above and below the still.
• Do not make real disaster victims or injuries the punchline.
