:rofl he's sorry for the trouble he caused is what he meant to say.

Yes, because I'm the one who posted saying how 'pissed' I was.

Perhaps I might suggest how its odd how i'm the one who's been positive this whole time, despite you calling me stupid and such. I'm not the one breaking rules here. Read the rules that Skuzzy made for this board, you might learn something. Especially rule #4

Meatwad, I'm sorry your thread was hijacked. I suppose it's officially squeaker season, yeah?

Either way...

Doesn't sound like bad advice!  :aok
funny how people abuse the word "squeaker" against any group of people that might disagree with the original persons views on a think.

When I started out on this game a few years ago "Squeaker" meant a kid with a high pitched voice.  :confused:

Tornado in California:!???? :O
http://www.kcra.com/video/28028033/detail.html

Two or three, including that one, came down today just a few minutes drive from where I live. Apart from this past month, I don't remember ever having any tornadoes in the 14 years I've been here.

There's a few orchards of Almonds that had all their trees uprooted or simply snapped in two. I guess it's tame compared to what some of the country sees, but a little frightening for us.

With these F4-F5 tornadoes roaming around how come every house doesn't have an underground shelter already? You'd think that would be mandatory like having reinforced structure on earthquake zones.

My guess is that for this area is that it isnt in the building code for storm shelters. Not 100% sure about the earthquake one either. By seeing new construction here and there in this area, I assume it is a no also.

It also depends on the water table in the area of where the house is to be built.  If the foundation is saturated all the time, the water can eat it away.  Then you have the EPA and all their concerns about mold and such.

I'm not sure I'd take this kids advice.

Any neighbors with underground shelters??

With nowhere else to go that is the suggested defense.

I don't think those two reporters have seen many either :D

Your seriously starting to piss me off, keep to yourself. I'm telling him what I have been told and its what my family does.

Bah, don;t worry about it.  Most old people even though they will not admit it, hate kids.  You got what they don't and they got what you don't.  But no one wants what they have lol

Perhaps you should change your tone to 'this is what my family does' from 'do this or you'll probably die'.

I think hiding in the baththub is the last thing I'd do if an F5 tornado rips my home appart. For me it sounds a bit like the "Duck and Cover" video during the cold war. Finding a neighbor with a basement and become good friends with him is the best idea to prevent you from becoming hazardous debris...

You saw the destruction after the last devastating Missouri tornado? I'm sure the closet you would be hiding in will be a couple miles away from your home there...
Don't underestimate the power of these things.
