:bowdown:

Oh look, Bastard carries a torch for me with his sig how cute! ;o)

Naw, it is just such a funny phrased thing. I was going to use the "I want to know why" because it made me laugh more, but I thought that it wouldn't make much sense by itself.

I imagined that like Cindy Lou Who looking at the Grinch when he stole the presents.

Like someone standing next to a Tornado and saying "Why tornado, why do you destroy our land" only it wouldn't reply with the fact its heart is 3 times too small, it would just say "cause I am a tornado motherfucker!"

I just find the idea of someone wanting to understand a tornado funny.

LOL, yes, I have got the reference to Cindy LouWho before!

I saw a tornado once appx 350 yards away from me but it was about an F1 to an F3.

On my 18th birthday one hit down around here, my step dad was on Search and Rescue and got the call. It was actually really weirdly time, cause I blew out the candles, like "oh, make a wish" and the phone rang right after. he looked at me and said "jesus, what the hell did you wish for".

Natural Disasters are a scary thing, but I never try to understand why they happen, I just accept they do. I mean, I am sure in terms of climate change and other factors, there are some contributing factors as to why they happen more frequently than before. But I do not know enough about that subject to say anything that would resemble an educated opinion on that subject, so just leave it there.

But regardless of those changes, they happen.

I agree. When I was in Christchurh earthquakes that killed 160~ people I absolutely saw it as natures movement of the tetonic plates. Twisters are created bye the atmosphere another form of nature as high and low pressure systems move through with different types of fronts and changes in air pressure.

Just for the record... I never said I didn't believe in science or nature! Just wanted to open minds to the possibility things happen for reasons we often don't know right away. :rolleyes:
Usually what I find it is (oversimplified) is to help us grow and learn in some area.

I just have a hard time believing that this God character would call people in that way. Wasn't the whole point of the flooding of the arc to say that no disaster after would happen by him?

Maybe that is just exclusive to floods.. I dunno.

But even I did believe in God, my first response to that would be, why would he take children? why not take someone who lived their lives, not someone who was just starting theirs? doesn't make sense to me.

But either way, that is not a possibility at all. That is just something I feel people say to try to take reality away from, well, reality. There is no deeper meaning to any of this.

okay?.....

did I miss something.

Thats what i was trying to figure out, Bastard. I dont have time to decode cryptic comments from the psychologically deformed and for him to do so on a thread like this shows no respect for the dead. FYI he showed pics of an old lady drunk, followed by Rambo. O.0

She was replying to a post that had been deleted, so it looked like she was refering to you.

Yeah. I do not get people who show no respect for the dead on a forum. What a psycho.

Oh, I knew it was not for me. I was just wondering what it was about. If comments get deleted, I think so should the ones directed to that comment.

The comments were deleted by the person who posted them, not by a mod.

True true.

More craziness today. My sister keeps regretting that she didn't move to Oklahoma instead of Ohio because of this weather. She loves severe weather and wants to become a meteorologist, but I don't know how she'd react when seeing it in person.

I have a guy mate who is exactly the same, he flips out over extreme weather! I'm sure its some kind of condition. But I get pretty excited about weather, I flip out over hail, snow and thunderstorms, I can't imagine how crazy tornadoes are?

Oh I love extreme weather, but I think a tornado would be terrifying. Well, unless I knew I was completely safe while watching it (of course). I remember a few times where we were experiencing severe weather and she freaked out. It reminds me of how I was as a kid about Halloween. On the one hand I loved it, but on the other hand I was completely and totally terrified by it.

Well the other day I was in my house and all of a sudden squally thunder and lightening was so loud and terrifying its shook the house and send me to the floor. It felt like what I was going through again with the earthquakes. I had to run down the hill after because I was afraid of getting hit. It can be a bit like Halloween, but a tornado would be petrifing. I am a big fan of really heavy rain lashing done it certainly makes me excited. The problem with a tornado is you don't know the direction its going to take or where its coming from!

I remember staying at my cousins with my brother when I was a teenager. And we heard there was a tornado warning so we went out side to see. My uncle pointed out the witch's finger forming and then my aunt yelled out us to get into the basement. They didn't touch down where we were at, but further north, closer to Pittsburgh, which I was surprise to find out that there can be tornadoes in the Pittsburgh area. But what I saw that day compares nothing to what they get in Texas and Oklahoma & the Mid West.

That sounds rather frightening. I couldn't handle living in those places in America, I'd be always afraid of being blown away.

Oh before I got to the end of thst story. I was like what? Houses down south are allergic to basements. You'd be hard pressed to find one. I can't deal with tornados. I've been through numerous hurricanes and one was f@$#ing Hugo. It sucked having no water and having to get meals from Red Cross trucks.

The reason the houses are "allergic" to basements in much of Missouri and elsewhere throughout the Southern Midwest is because the soil is largely clay, the practical implication being that variations in moisture cause significant contractions in the soil. Hence the phenomenon of those with basements watering the foundation of their house, :P

edit: oh, and the whole water table thing... but whatever.
