in the sacramento valley we had our first tornado in 30 years in 2010. it touched down, and rampaged solely within the confines of a 5 acre mobile home park, leaving the heavily built up suburban areas surrounding the park untouched.They must not have laid enough trailer parks as decoys. Bad planning. cn
In 2000 I lived in the Peninsula. We had a twister, Fujita Scale "oh maybe a little", touch down about a mile from my then-house. I remember some ripped-up rooves, a coupla rearranged trees, and a Tahoe that had been nudged sideways a ways. It was intense. (For there.) cnin the sacramento valley we had our first tornado in 30 years in 2010. it touched down, and rampaged solely within the confines of a 5 acre mobile home park, leaving the heavily built up suburban areas surrounding the park untouched.
i loled a little.
Yeah, cause that's real funny.in the sacramento valley we had our first tornado in 30 years in 2010. it touched down, and rampaged solely within the confines of a 5 acre mobile home park, leaving the heavily built up suburban areas surrounding the park untouched.

tornado humor can be twisted.Yeah, cause that's real funny.
that's actually what building codes are for.Ban tornadoes.
They wipe out who classes of kindergarten children...
Saw that on the news tonight, it was a grim scene with at least 50 dead. (so they tell us)that's actually what building codes are for.
for all the pissing and moaning about california and all their regulations, at least the fact is that most of their buildings can withstand an earthquake without falling over.
Nope, fuck that shit.Saw that on the news tonight, it was a grim scene with at least 50 dead. (so they tell us)
California law sucks much less to be imposed on the rest of the country.
It's like paying for shit that doesn't happen but all the tax payers have to give to others living in stupid places.
The earth moves under your feet - Get The Fuck Out!
The wind blows faster than 100MPH each year - Get The Fuck Out!
If you live below sea level - Get The Fuck Out!
Your house has ghosts - Get The Fuck Out!
Move to safe ground.
Dangerous places should be taxed much higher, like humans with their dangerous addictions and health.
Tax them more for living in a danger zone.Nope, fuck that shit.
Why tax them more? Tax them EQUALLY but if something shit happens then tell them to fuck off.
Why do bad decisions have to be subsidised?
disasters can happen just about anywhere, it is all but impossible to not live in some sort of a "stupid place".It's like paying for shit that doesn't happen but all the tax payers have to give to others living in stupid places.
actually he was talking about taxing a bad decision, the opposite of a subsidy.Nope, fuck that shit.

never thought of it that way."it's not THAT the wind is blowing, it's WHAT the wind is blowing. If you get hit with a Volvo, it doesn't matter how many push ups you did that morning."
Those pix are amazing.with a tornado of this magnitude, you could build your house out of jesus and it would still be gone. the house could be made of whatever you want but once the 200 mph winds rip off your doors and windows the pressure will literally rip the roof off, and that's BEFORE the actual tornado hits the building.
not that i care much for the guy, but ron white put it pretty well: "it's not THAT the wind is blowing, it's WHAT the wind is blowing. If you get hit with a Volvo, it doesn't matter how many push ups you did that morning."
also, a tornado of this magnitude is extremely rare. even houses with reinforcing clips would be rubble in something like this. i find it obnoxious how every time there's a catastrophic weather event people always pipe up with the "that's what you get for living in x" comments. there's fucking no place in the entire US that is safe from some kind of shit like this whether it's earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, volcanoes, blizzards, wildfires, whatever. people talk shit at the south when there's a hurricane, people talk shit at the north/northeast when there's a death blizzard/nor'easter, people talk shit at california when there's an earthquake. where the fuck SHOULD people live? it's not realistic for everyday people to build their houses out of the most expensive materials and in this kind of storm it wouldn't matter anyway. there was a guy on their local news who had his heavy ass steel door ripped off his storm shelter. i'm way the fuck up in massachusetts and even we can get tornadoes. nothing like this shit since '53 but it's absurd to assume that there is anywhere in the country that's "safe" from nature, especially when we're talking about such a rare event as a 2 mile wide f5 tornado.

fuck that.
