Sharknado thought
I assume somebody has already thought of this, but just in case they haven't......
A tornado filled with live sharks is impossible, of course. It would puree the sharks as it picked them up, and they would then be plain old debris, doing the same damage as all the other stuff moving 150 MPH.
But! Not quite plain old. Bricks and boards and nails are hard uniform objects. When you get them spinning, they stay spinning. A viscous object like a liver or a cartilaginous skeleton doesn't behave that way. Viscous stuff is very hard to spin.
So here's an experiment that might be worth trying. Drop a huge pile of "simulated shark livers" in the path of a tornado and see what happens. Does the twister pick them up at all? And does it then Dynaslush to a halt? Maybe try a pile of silicone breast implants? If it works, you could build permanent liver-levees or bazoom-booms guarding the west side of doom-prone places like Moore.
.... Hmm. "Bazooms Versus Doom" would be a movie worth watching. Pam Anderson leads a gang of lady bikers who are terrorizing a small Okie town. Tornado approaches, and the title writes the rest.
