Yeah me to....!



Well we dont get them that bad here , or actually we do , but i think it's cause of the architecture that we feel it less. The biggest one i felt was 7.8 , and it was 250 KM west of us....that one we felt pretty strong but i never hard stuff falling of my shelves. This is weird cause the 7.8 one , the door started smashing but nothing fell of the shelves...isn't that weird. But yeah , we have earthquakes everyday here cause there a 3 ehm...plates ? Earthplates ? comming togheter underneath Japan.

And Typhoons aswell. And last time there was a Tornado but that was in the north of Tokyo and i live in the south...Tokyo is big! It was just extremely windy and rainy here...!

You gotta hand it to the Japanese! They've always worked diligently and effectively at adapting to the elements which are most always beyond their control. Nature has dealt them a few awful hands - and they've learned well. I've seen a lot of shows where they've demonstrated some of their architectural achievements when it comes to handling earthquakes. It's fascinating, and genius.



I think the earthplates you mean are tectonic plates, and yeah, Japan is in that "ring of fire" as it's called - where the plates shift and set off a horde of natural disasters from earthquakes to tsanumis to volcanoes.



But man, a 7.8 earthquake. That's insane! That's enough to do some serious damage around the epicenter. Actually, that 9.0 that hit Indonesia last Christmas was absolutely unreal... I nearly fell out of my seat when I read it was a friggen 9.0!!

Thankfully, I live about as far away from any fault lines as is possible. We get the odd tornado in the southwest of the province, but never that close to the city.



Unfortunately, we get enough snow EVERY winter that it basically is a natural disaster all its own. Just not as instantly traumatic as an earthquake, typhoon, etc.

Yeah the 7.8 one had a LOT of damage near the epicentre....They are still raisning money for it here on the streets. And me to Whirly , when i heard 9.0 i was SHOCKED. Really.

Another thing i'm facinated about are tornado's....for some reason they facinate me so much. Nature disasters in general facinates me. There's nothing more powerfull than nature. I think i would have liked to become a meteo ehm i dont know how to write it , but somebody's who observes the weather and stuff.



And i've found something really cool on http://www7.national...ture6/index.htm

A team of stormchasers have managed to capture a tornado from 7 different angle's , your almost INSIDE the Tornado , it's really scary but great to watch!

This one is pretty good to

no fault lines near ireland thank god. saw sin city brillant movie

Damn, those storm chasers have serious balls. No really - balls of friggen steel! It's like they put their survival instincts on hold while they chase down storms. I've never lived where there are tornadoes but on a very rare occasion one will turn up - but it's usually not big enough to do a lot of damage. Out over the ocean we get the occasional water spout but it's pretty rare too.



On a side, I always thought it was such a shame that the movie Twister was so lousy, because it had such potential.



Anyway, Darkstar, it's funny you mention all the snow in Winnipeg and how it's like a natural disaster on its own. No doubt!!! In the winter of 1998, 'stash and I tried our hand at living in Minnesota for a couple of months. The coldest fuckin' winter of my life. We decided not to stay. The early morning we high tailed it out of Minnesota, there was a break in a blizzard so we had a small window of opportunity to get the hell out of there. My car got stuck in a gas station parking lot and we had to wait for a snow plow to push it out of the snow. I seriously don't think my car's heater worked properly until we were in Kansas, and I was driving down the west side of the Colorado Rockies before my wiper fluid defrosted. Southern Californians are weather pussies. I swear, it gets below 68 degrees and people start talking about how bone chilling it is outside. Compared to a place like Minnesota or Winnipeg, California doesn't have cold's address!!

Sin City is fuckin awesome!!! Glad you liked it.



I just loved the way that movie was filmed, it was gorgeous to look at, the stark images and the splashes of color. Plus the acting was fantastic - well done.



I also heard Robert Rodriguez is getting to work on a follow-up if he hasn't already done so.

I live on some fault line, i forgot which, though. Strangely enough we havent had an earthquake in, i think, about 70 years.

MOEHAHAAAAA It's fucking 6 in the morning man. I'm not so drunk that i cannot type anymore....but i have to share this

My friend Jasmin told me today "I dont know anybody who loves music more than u do" and a girl i met , she told me " u look like somebody who lives for music " Fuck...i was like 8O This girls , they know me so quickly! and just know i am in the cab fucking drunk and i tell my friends " i need beats , i need chemicals and beats" and now they think i'm on drugs or whatever hahahahaaha X-D They dont undrstand!

1998 was a brutal winter. That was a bad year to try moving up north. A major ice storm hit Quebec and the military had to be called in to provide relief through La Belle Province and some of Southern Ontario.



Living here, I don't think I'll ever drive a car that isn't all-wheel drive. My car may be a little sportscar, but combine turbocharger with AWD and there isn't a snowdrift out there that can stop me (although some came close). New Years' Eve, my car was almost the only one on the road in the morning, except for a few 3/4-ton trucks. The car was buried up to the windows in the morning and I didn't even bother shovelling my way out. Shift into reverse and clutch drop at 5K RPM...... heheh, no more buried car.



Still, I'll take snow over other disasters any day.



Ironically, yesterday, there were tornado sightings throughout the province. Coincidence?

Hahahahaha X-D Well , the thing of why i said " I am so drunk that i can't type " is basiclly cause 2 weeks ago my posts were unreadable , so that's why i said that ' But NP Flaming dead , apologies accepted ;)



And Whirly , u stupid American , hahahahaha X-D Nah , u know i love you 2 (((Huggs))) ....



back to the intresting subject ( i LOVE talking about the weather hahahaha ) When i was in NY in January , that was the coldest i ever felt. I was like -15 Celcius , but the reason that it was so painfully cold was the wind. In Manhatten u have all the Avenue's and crosstreet , like a raster. it's perfect for the wind to bloooooow trough....So when i had to go to like 8 or 9 castings , and at the casting pretend like you're not dying and try to look good....yeah. That sucked hahaha X-D And in Canada was pretty cold to , like -15 but there was less wind..but we were shooting and than u have to try not to look cold! I'm telling u , my acting skills were improved from that day!



Last time in Tokyo , we ( why do i keep saying we ? I'm turning Japanese! ) had the biggest typhoon in 10 years , and u may think i'm crazy but i was SO excited , because well i was save in my appartement and it was raining SO MUCH , i can not explain , it was like a curtain of water....and thunder and wind! Yeah that wasn really exciting. So i'm sleeping and the phone rings at 4 am....my dad. " Jeanie r u okay , we are watching the news here and there showing like flying busses in the air and stuff..." Turns out there was a Tornodo in North Tokyo , we didnt know....Tokyo is so HUGE!



Yeah. Intresting information right

DELETED

hehe, i leave this thread for 5 monutes and your all bantering about the weather!! X-D



anyone would think your british or something ;)



oh and stash, if your in the country when the next party's on you and whirly are on it man 8)

I think the coldest it got last winter here was, with the windchill factor, -54 Celsius. 8O
