    I am terrified of tornadoes and I have never even seen one in person. So glad I live in the most likely place to die from a massive earthquake instead.

      And I’ve never experienced an earthquake. I’ve read that it’s horrifying having the very ground move beneath you, and the sounds…

      Guess it’s like everything else in life, terrifying until you experience it, then, maybe not so bad.

      First time I saw my poodle get a catheter…

      “THEY DO THAT TO BOYS?!”

      (Hurts like hell for 3 seconds, over. Very nice to lay in bed and piss yourself when your guts have been opened and you can’t move.)

      Lul fuck if you’re not right. I’m in the same boat and at least I can pretend they built all the buildings here up tk code for earthquakes so we should be fine for the most part but I many if any building could survive a 9 or higher quake, that’s foundation shifting territory.
