Keep the ordinary moment recognizable
A person waiting beside an empty bus shelter gives the storm a simple contrast: an everyday pause interrupted by absurd weather. Choose a setting with one recognizable landmark rather than a crowd of competing details. A bench, path or fence can anchor the opening composition. Keep the person visually separate from that landmark, especially around their head and hands. The purpose is to establish who the scene is about before the imaginary tornado becomes the main attraction. A dramatic costume is optional; a familiar coat or backpack can make the joke more personal.
