deadman walking a native term for tornados???

Question

native term/deadman walking/where did it come from?

Answer 1

I've never heard it been used in weather but some most-known related slang terms to tornadoes are: twister ,whirlwind ,wedge , funnel , gustnado, landspout, willy-willy , or rope.

I hope thats enough.

Answer 2

I have never heard of that. I have always heard that term, Deadman Walking, to be for someone that has a hit out on them, like back in the old days, western days, like death row inmates or something. Never heard of a tornado being referred to as that.

Answer 3

Deadman walking? I think that's a term used more in conjunction with Death Row inmates heading to their execution...I've never heard it used with a weather term.
