Don’t mind that swirling potential death trap, kids. Just keep playing.

Parent Jamie Brennan posted since-viral on Facebook last week showing Little League players near Montezuma, Iowa, warming up for a game while a tornado lurks beyond the outfield, the Des Moines Register reported.

The National Weather Service confirmed the presence of a tornado in that area that injured a man and damaged a farm.

“I know the video appears careless, but there were many people there and no one was panicking,” Brennan told the Register, commenting on criticism she said she’s received on social media.

The Weather Channel also wasn’t enthused.

The station posted a video on its website, warning of the dangers of remaining outside despite a tornado being visible.

“When a tornado is looming like this one in Iowa, it’s time to take shelter,” a caption on the video reads.

The tornado was part of a wide-ranging severe weather outbreak last week that ravaged parts of the midwest and also slammed Western Pennsylvania.
