I can't get a break. Mother Nature needs a sedative. :( - 11-29-04

My town had a tornado. My truck is fucked.

http://www.al.com/news/mobileregiste...2346654700.xml

"Authorities estimate that 38 homes were either destroyed or badly damaged. One mobile home was upended. In a short stretch of East Hamm, two homes were knocked from their foundations, one had gaping holes in its roof and another's concrete walls were cracked. "

Guess who lives at 109 East Hamm in Summerdale, Alabama!!!! GUESS. GUESS.


I just can't get a fucking break. One natural disaster after another.

That's shitty, the worst we get around here is power outages from too much snow and ice. No one's ever had house damage or any of that jazz.

How much do you think damages will be?

Don't know about the damage yet. I know that it doesn't sound like much as far as volume goes. But there's only about 700 people that live in Summerdale. Right on the tale of Ivan.

But dudes.. I was peeing. And I have the flu. And I ran out of the bathroom with no pants on, grabbed my cat, and got in the hallway. WITH NO PANTS!!!!

Of course. He survived Hurricane Ivan. And now he's survived Nameless Tornado #1.

I was a trooper. I even helped save an old bed-ridden lady whose porch collapsed. We ran out of the house and she was screaming. And a whole bunch of people on my street carried her on a blanket to someone's carport. The ambulances and fire trucks came about 45 minutes later.

You were running because your houses were collapsing or because the tornado was getting closer? Where did you run to? With?


Have you not learned from the corpses of your bretheren?

No. We were running because we heard someone screaming. The older woman was bedridden. Her house was collapsing, and her gas lines were leaking. Ambulance and fire trucks nowhere in sight.

Christ that sucks Wicked. It's awsome that you were able to help other people out though.

That cat's gotta be tough as nails. He's probably good at predicting bad weather now.

Story please Phage.
I remember the time a few years back when we had a Tornado warning in New Hampshire of all places. That was great fun, we took refuge at my grandparents house when the sky turned a green color.

My house is umm... still there. Mostly. My back porch is flattened, some shingle damage, and there are holes in the brick. Debris was smacking the side of my house.

And Denalay, you're a dink. I didn't think there was anything fun about what happened Saturday.

It's still habitable, right? How much will it cost to repair it all?

It's habitable, yes. Not like September natural disaster, where my house got flattened.

Not sure what the cost will be. I rent. My landlord's wife is my boss's brother's wife's cousin. He's a good guy. With his insurance settlement, I'm getting a deck built.
