All we have is 122mm Grad missiles raining down from time to time, and that's no fun. :(

And uhh where is this? Doesn't exactly sound like general residential housing.

Areku, those are here too. Except the earthquakes. None of those here.
The experience of the very ground shaking or even being unstable is just inconceivable to me.

Hurp de Durp, its Israel! :D
Not only that it is a dump, it is also filled with dirty Jews. >_____>'
FYI I'm not racist, I hate them cause they hate me. Being Ukrainian in a country full of racists bitching ♥♥♥♥ is serious business.

And i'm exaggerating, its about 30% reinforced concrete (In the placed where 122mm rain daily), the rest is regular concrete with a layer of thin iron rods in the middle of it.
My city was actually only bombed once, but ♥♥♥♥, that was some crazy ♥♥♥♥.

@ Areku

Pfffft.... 42? We have like 35 on a good day, and 39-44 on a bad day, which is every day.
There was a drop in temperature these past few days though, ♥♥♥♥ yeah!

Me wants a tornado kthx. Am willing to trade a sandstorm for one.

I live in New York State. If a tornado happens here, then Mother Nature is recreating The Day After Tomorrow for giggles.

Might be so, but at least there you don't have to stand 2-4 degrees on the following morning, with hailstorms and everything. Crazy weather my lil' town has been having...
Not to mention the occasional weird stuff that rains around here. Coca-cola cans (mainly when I decide to use my spudgun), crazy neighbors ( Yes, my 40-year old neighbor actually climbed into my house's roof for no apparent reason and then fell. She's kinda crazy. ), and, once, a cat fell into my other neighbor's roof. Apparently, it jumped from a nearby building. (They took a few days to clean up the roof.)

Though we have no sandstorms here, at least not in the town where I live. Up north, although, the sands ravage the wasteland. (Yes, it's pretty much a wasteland, even though it's a very cool one.) I would trade a tornado for one of those, if I had one.

Why aren't tornadoes more deadly? This forum would be a better place.

Tornadoes are extremely deadly, there just also extremely fickle, and picky about who they kill.

A selective storm as imagined by Thor would probably be an insanely hardcore way to die. It'd probably be fun if not for the bit where it shifted my spine two feet upwards, without a clutch.
In all seriousness, I thought that tornadoes were relatively non-dangerous because they often hit in rural areas with a lot of big, empty fields, as opposed to hurricanes, which affect both a larger amount of people and can have long-term consequences.
Well, ok, having your house thrown to the four winds is a long term consequence, but it isn't a city flooding.

Forget all my previous posts. I've just been through a freakin' tornado. I was lucky enough not to be on its way, but I saw the trail of destruction it left. Destroyed houses, light posts cut in half, broken trees everywhere. Half of the city is pretty much flooded. Luckily, it seems to have ended.
Wait... Is that a hailstorm? Heck, it has come back! Gotta go now!



EDIT: The storm just ended. I understand your plan of unleashing the fury of nature on some forum members, THOR, but why did you start with me?!

Nah, it was raining too much, and the trunk of my car was already full of spudguns, coilguns, fireworks, gas masks, an old vacuum cleaner, a crossbow, empty fire extinguishers, and so on. I usually carry a lot of junk wherever I go. :P Also, most of the houses were mere shacks, and I had no hopes of finding anything valuable.
