Title: Welp, looks like I'm in a bit of trouble.
Post by: Zaner-Boy on 2012 Oct 26, 14:40:16
A hurricane is coming this way. It'll be hear by Monday, I've heard. There's a chance it'll miss us, but that chance is slim. I'll probably lose power, and since I live close to the water, flooding is a possibility. I might be gone for awhile.

It'll seriously only hit the east coast's coasts, so if you live further in your fine. My dad is like "Seriously, the news is just trying to get everyone all worried up, probably by the time it gets here it'll be weaker  >:/" But yeah, be careful if it's coming near your area. ^-^

Edit: Herp Derp, I need to stop skimming messages, your near the coast. So be careful.

It's completely not a fortress, though only two rooms in the house are level with the street. The rest are a few feet higher.

I'll be hit by this storm as well. Luckily, we live on something of a hill, so flooding's not really a problem.
The problem is the nice, big tree that can easily fall on my house.  :/

Same here, but I live in the mountains so the chance of us getting hit by the storm is very low X3

Just heard that my school will be closed Monday and Tuesday.
The other side of the highway (not where I live, but very close) has been told to evacuate.
I don't normally get nervous about the weather, but I'm a touch frightened.  :I

That's how I feel sometimes when we get a tornado warning. One night, we actually ended up with two reported in our city.

If people built houses like they used to (y'know, brick houses with a sturdy foundation), weather disasters wouldn't be as bad. They'd still be bad, but not as bad. My grandpa lived in an old brick house in the countryside, and a tornado once actually passed over his house, but his house was completely fine after the fact. Meanwhile, part of his neighbor's barn roof got pulled up, and a bunch of trees got knocked over by their roots.

Sadly, I'm not entirely sure what may have happened to his neighbors' horses or the stray cats. I assume they were fine, though. Cats can sense weather (and have been shown to predict earthquakes), and they probably vacated the area when they noticed a bad shift. The neighbors likely made sure their horses were safe. Pretty sure all their dogs were indoors during the tornado, too.

I get nervous in tornado warnings where I live since we don't have a basement, and I lack a drivers license so I can't drive anyone to safety and my grandma can't see in rainstorms that well so she's afraid to drive in them. One of the reasons I wish I could get a drivers license before next spring. As sometimes we get tornado warnings on our county itself.

Missouri and it's random weather.

We hide in the hall, since we don't have a basement either. You'd think basements would be standard issue in houses in Tornado Alley, but they're not. It sucks.

Yeah it is pretty sucky.  :s  We live in a valley that's in direct paths of tornadoes. My dad eventually wants to get a house with basement if we ever get enough money for one, so he doesn't have to worry when it storms in spring.

Usually when we get a tornado warning we try to drive to our Aunt and Uncle's house in the next town over which is only a few miles since they have a basement or we head there ahead of time when we know the storms are going to be bad. Whenever I get a house I'm making sure it has a basement.  :c
