Pardon my lack of earthquake precaution measure knowledge but what good would being in a bath be for protection? Glad you're fine though. :thumbs: Link to comment

Glad you're fine though. :thumbs: Apparently its cos if the ceiling falls you are in a safe little pocket. apparently the best place though is in a doorway. washington monument is apparently tilting and 2 nucleur plants have been taken offline as a precaution Link to comment

Oklahoma 1903 Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 They say if you get caught up in a Tornado and don't have a storm shelter then get in your bathtub. Same principle for earthquakes then I guess. Link to comment

Ke1t Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Was in an Earthquake when I first got here... sitting at my desk and a truck goes by just as it hit... honestly feels like you're tripping balls. You stand up and sh*t's kinda moving around, and you tell yourself no more mojitos at lunch time.... just stick to the beers. I should point out it was a tiny wee earthquake, nothing like the thing in Virginia... I would imagine being close to the epicentre of a 6.0 would be considerably scarier than the dinky f**ker that I felt.. Was actually quite fun Link to comment
Admin Bebo Posted August 23, 2011 Admin Share Posted August 23, 2011 I would actually love to experience an earthquake. The Japanese and New Zealanders had a great laugh during their earthquakes. Link to comment

ollie1903 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 They say if you get caught up in a Tornado and don't have a storm shelter then get in your bathtub. Some sound advice, of which Dorothy should have paid attention too. Glad you boys are a'right Link to comment

Bobby Connor Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I was in an earthquake when I lived in Manchester. About 4 on the Richter scale. No big deal - don't know what all the fuss is about. Link to comment

Ke1t Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 And on Saturday I'm gonna be in a f**king hurricane... damn you Irene! Sometimes I wish I lived somewhere less close to the Arctic Circle.. usually when I'm shovelling 5 feet of lake effect snow off my drive.... then, later, I see people who live in the warmer states having their sh*t flooded, blown away, earthquaked or burned to cinders in wildfires... and suddenly snow doesn't seem so bad any more. I remember flying out of South Carolina as Katrina hit... we were getting the edge of the storm. Didn't think the flight was going to go ahead, but all credit, they took off and flew us right through that swirling f**king vortex of f**king nightmares and terror. The wife was actually crying with fear, and she wasn't the only one. I was putting on a brave face for her, but underneath I'm going "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" So yeah, bit of snow and rain in MI.. not so bad. Link to comment

Here in SW Oklahoma and Texas were now in our 90th day this year of 100 degree or over temps, an all time record. Link to comment

Not so bad for us up here, right next to the massive freshwater lakes. But NM, TX and CA.... not going to be so good. Still, anything bad that happens to Texas is fine by me. I'd give the whole state back to the Mexicans. Link to comment
