i also wouldnt mind seeing photos of the superconducting supercollider when that was abandoned, but all i seem to be able to find at the moment are thirty year old women with bad haircuts being stripped by bare by her bachelors and not being able to work out the flash.

I actually thought that was real for a second atoga. I was thinking "damn, I guess they weren't joking about that storm."

Ghost towns are pretty interesting things to look at, somewhat similar to urban exploring I guess. I think there might be a few abandoned mine towns in California I'll have to look into it.

A tornado visited my town a few years ago, really fucked stuff up. I tried taking pictures of a gas station that's roof got ripped off and beams all twisted (reminded me of Fallout), but didn't have camera on me. They cleaned it up before I could make it back. Bastards....

Other peoples photos of said tornado, fun stuff though.

This always puzzles me about America. Why do you build wooden house in areas that have floods, tornados, earthquakes and another houses destroying disasters, but brick houses in places like NYC or Baltimore, where there is less need for such strong houses. We're the worse in the UK of course, every houses here is made of brick, or stronger stone, and we have pussy weather xD

Most of the homes that got totally fucked were trailers from a trailer park down the road. All but one of them got destroyed.

As a result, the taxes on my house doubled. BRING THE SKANKS BACK!!!

A weak old man builds a 'castle' out of pieces of stone with inferior equipment, and it's the only man-made structure in the entire area to survive hurricane Andrew.

You need it in the UK against this perpetual cold. It's like Greenland in here. We've got to get some booze, it's the only solution to this intense cold. I must have some booze! I DEMAND TO HAVE SOME BOOZE!
