vamos scorcho Posted May 9, 2011 Author Share Posted May 9, 2011 Massively terrifying storms driving through OH last night. Miles of visibility every time lightening struck. When there was no lightning nothing could be seen. The highway was flooding. I was praying for my life the whole way back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braintree Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Why are american houses made from timber if they're prone to tornadoes. I dont think theres any urban irish houses made from timber. Err, unless you live in a massive apt. building, it doesn't really matter what your house is made of. A tornado can still throw it into the next county.

Guest Sprigg Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Apparently a massive fucking tornado annihilated the town of Joplin a few hours away from here (Kansas City). Like 3/4 of the town is just debris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delet... Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 You've really gotta change the building code for houses in tornado alley. Not only does the timber framing splinter, but it then gets picked up and thrown around like missiles, impaling anything and everything around it.

patternoverlap Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 LOL building code. Same reason why people build wooden houses on stilts on the beach here: no one seems to care or think that anything will happen to them. If I lived in tornado alley I'd have a low concrete house with a nice storm cellar with very strong and secure doors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delet... Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 +100 exactly concrete with double glazed small windows. Or at least steel framed normal houses. I'm sure we'd be happy to sell your country some steel. ;-] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jules Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 if an asteroid hit the same towns every year, I wouldnt live there. if a sea monster crawled out of the ocean and terrorized the same areas every year, I wouldn't live there. if the rapture happened every year in the same area, I wouldn't live there. and if tornados hit the same area every year, well I wouldn't fucking live there either.

If I lived in tornado alley I'd have a low concrete house with a nice storm cellar with very strong and secure doors. A friend of mine lives in an in-ground home that I'm pretty sure is safe in a tornado- the back wall is exposed but the rest of the house is built into a hill. Pretty sweet, but they have really bad mold problems. I, on the other hand, live in a shitty suburb miles away from anything... but the tornado in my neighborhood a few years back spared my side of the street, so all is well.

delet... Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 RE: Joplin. i was watching the tuesday NBC news bulletin, and they were showing debris and pointing out that the brick and concrete structures had survived. Sure the windows had blown in but that's a design issue. Made me feel warm inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
