Pathetic Fallacy is the poetic practice of attributing human emotion or responses to nature, inanimate objects, or animals.
Classic Example:
In Milton's "On The Morning of Christ's Nativity," all aspects of nature react affectively to the event of Christ's birth. "The Stars with deep amaze Stand fixt in steadfast gaze"
My Example:
The Heavens with violent desire Maul spirits with hail-storm and fire
Proof:
THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HAS ISSUED TORNADO WATCH IN EFFECT UNTIL MIDNIGHT CST TONIGHT
It's February, folks. This shouldn't happen until at least March!

Tornado season starts in November, yo ( I think). But it's usually the one's that strike out of season that are the truly messed up ones.
Ask Jamie about the one that hit a subdivision just North of our parents over Thanksgiving at like 5am... that was no bueno for my psyche!
Keep a watchful eye! -
