"Tigernado" took the web by storm.
After exotic animals were reported missing from an Oklahoma safari Wednesday night following a tornado — which ultimately proved to be untrue — the real story on social media became "Tigernado," a meme that went viral faster a panther pounces prey.
The uproarious meme played off false reports of AWOL animals escaping due to a tornado that hit central Oklahoma Wednesday.
Within minutes of the news breaking, Twitter exploded with the "Tigernado" hashtag as users created posters, GIFs and even a t-shirt for the imaginary disaster. A "Tornado Tiger" parody account also popped up.
