Tornado Doesn't Stop One Fortnite Player From Playing

Fortnite Battle Royale is on top of the video game industry at the moment thanks to consistent content updates and entertaining gameplay that has captured the attention of millions of players around the world. However, the massive rise in the popularity the game has seen in recent months has led to concerns that people are playing the game too much to the point where some schools are posting warnings about the game to parents. One instance of a player who probably should have walked away from his attempt to get a victory royale was Anton Williams from Greensboro, North Carolina who kept playing Fortnite even as a Tornado was destroying his neighborhood. 

In an interview with news outlet WXII 12 that he kept playing the match he was currently in even as the door on his next door neighbor's house was ripped off its hinges by the tornado. Williams had hoped that he would have been able to finish the match, as he was one of the last surviving players, but he ultimately quit playing when powerlines began to be tore down and took his sister and nephew to a safe place. "Honestly, I was thinking about the game, but I was hoping everybody was ok around me," Williams told WXII 12. 

You could say that this was an extreme example of surviving the storm that Fortnite players know all too well. It also could be an example used to point out the negative effects the popular game is having on those who play a tad too much, especially when a tornado is rampaging through where you live. However, Williams and his family were not harmed, and now the avid player can claim that he has survived a tornado in real life and a storm in Fortnite at the exact same time, but we at Twin Galaxies would highly advise you to step back from your match and seek shelter if you find yourself near a tornado while playing.
