Dark Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 I live on the eastern coast of America and I just took a vacation to another part of the eastern coast of America, and the bullshit I have to deal with is actually quite annoying. So first, there was an earthquake with its epicenter in Virginia which had aftershocks that were felt from Georgia all the way up to Massachusetts. And I was less than 100 miles from the epicenter when the damn thing happened. Now, there is a category three storm that just ripped apart the Bahamas and is threatening to hit pretty much the entire eastern coast - it's expected to still be a category one or two by the time it makes its way up to Massachusetts, and is hitting New York with a category two. This is really annoying. I don't really care about the earthquakes in California and I believe one in Brazil (or somewhere in South America), I care about the random crap that's being thrown at me and everyone on the eastern coast.

Lunar Origins Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 I hope to god the hurricane floods my neighbors house. It'll be funny, and I will laugh. That earthquake felt like more akin to a fat person jumping around in my house, [i]it was nothing.[/i] And the only thing that bothers me about the hurricane is that I might miss my card shops tourney on Saturday.

I-dreezyAFG Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 i see the storm right now. im in ajax, ontario, canada and it looks scary. plus, for the past 3-4 months we've had storms which is scary weird, and annoying. like just 2 days ago a tornado hit a town close by toronto. http://www.torontosun.com/2011/08/21/tornado-hits-ontario-town Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raine Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 Oh, I'm sorry the east coast has to deal with a GASP! magnitude 5 earthquake and a, god forbid, category 2 hurricane. I'm sure, people in Bangladesh are feeling for us as they deal with yearly monsoons that ravage their land. Georgia and Armenia are weeping tears for us as they are stuck in drought and fast running-out of water in the Aral Sea. Central Africa is wishing us the best after they walk 10 miles for disease infected water. Yes, God hates t he East Coast. Shut it, and take your natural disasters like a man.
