Does SE++ endure the wrath of nature? If so, I pray thee do tell.

I have been stuck in my apartment for almost 24 hours because of Hurricane Dolly and some entertaining stories would be nice.

    We had a pretty big storm last night and the power went for a couple hours.

    No, hurricane, but Alberta isn't beachfront property or anything, so hey.

    Hey guys I saw a highspeed chase today.

    It was crazy, although it wasn't that high of speed, there were about fifteen cop cars.

    Everyone was in on the action, and the most inconspicuous undercover cars I have ever seen.

    Let's see, real story time.

    I went on Myspace to see what the rest of my grad class was up to. Of the seven pages of fellow grads, I'd say at least 25, maybe even 40% of them are married already or have kids

    I'm not even 20 yet for fucks sake, what's wrong with these people

    I like rain and snow. Hail can be cool, and tornadoes can be neat to watch from a distance.

    Never experienced a hurricane, so I can't say if I'd enjoy one of those.

    Fuck Hail, I fuckin hate hale after getting caught up in a hail storm with hale the size of baseballs.

    (They were not actually that big, more about the size of a large bouncy ball)

    Where I used to live, you had to drive if you wanted to go anywhere, walking or biking wasn't really an option

    driving in the snow is the worst thing

    i do agree that walking during snow is pretty sweet though, i just prefer warm weather

    I live very close to a fault line that hasn't had any major movement for around 100-150 years. When it does slip, it will be bad news. I also used to live right on a fault line and had about 4 or 5 earthquakes in 6 months.

    Driving in the snow is also fun... assuming you don't crash into the ditch or anything crazy.

    I remember the one morning, I had to drive into university, and once I got onto the highway I couldn't see more than a few feet in front of my car. There were points where I wasn't sure if I wasn't going to drive off the side of the road, because I couldn't see the sides.

    See, I find that stuff exciting, though. Could have been shitty if I was stuck in the snow for a couple hours waiting for a tow.

    This one time at my cottage lightning struck a tree and it dominowned about 4 other trees. And all these trees were at least 40 feet tall.

    Yeah, that was a fun fucking summer, all right.

    I tell you what was sweet

    When I was about 10, I lived on a cul de sac in central florida. We got thunderstorms all the time.

    There weren't any tall trees on the street, and nobody had a lightning rod. So, naturally, lightning would often strike the manhole in the middle of the circle

    Old Nissan something or another. It was towed the next day and hadn't moved in years, but had a solid 300k miles on it.

    Everybody has pussy storms compared to Florida.
    I have seen lightning do things that seem impossible.
    My computer was fried even with a surge protector and what seemed like clear skies.
    It managed to blow out our phone line/internet, two tvs, and sprinkler system.
