That much forced air means Ron's cigar burns down to a stub in ten seconds. Impairing his enjoyment.

Where the Australians failed, the British succeeded by making their flood waters too toxic for crocodiles and exotic poisonous snakes to inhabit. A feather in their cap. Every cloud has a silver lining.

The first 4 mambas aren't a problem, it's Mamba #5 you have to watch out for...

Flooding in Snaith, East Yorkshire.


According to a report on the radio this morning, the occupants of this bungalow expect to have to demolish their home.

According to the Met Office, we should have some respite from the rain this week, but how long it will take for the flood waters to subside is anyone's guess.

There's proof right there that solar panels cause floods.

Just like a wild animal. Curious.

So going green (ie solar panels) is also like going back to nature?

I guess when they said they wanted to get closer to nature, that was not what they meant.

A violent storm system skipped/skimmed us last night, and went on to tear east Nashville a new asshole w/fairly destructive tornado. I think the storm system killed like 21 or so ppl across Tennessee.

We got lucky.

I saw reports of that tornado on the TV news last night.

There was one large building shown that had sustained an extraordinary amount of damage.

I think it might be the one briefly shown at the beginning of this drone footage.

Pleased to hear that you avoided the tempest.
