ThrobbleServ back from Christmas Vacation
« on: December 27, 2006, 07:23:27 PM »
We were having power outages due to earthquakes (three in four days!) and storms, so I brought down my computer, which hosts ThrobbleServ, while we were out of town.

Now that we're back home and it looks like the natural disasters have abated for awhile, Smith Hold and The Tavern of Doors are back up 24/7.

Why do people continue to set up camp in storm allys and on shifting plates.

I keep thinking about those people who always have there houses washed away by floods and then there like "Damn it... Now we have to rebuild..." MOVE FOR THE LOVE OF TOD!

Granted its not so easy for you 420, but if these people have enough to rebuild im pretty sure they could get a mobile home and move 100 yards away from the flood site to higher ground.

Find me a plate that's not shifting!

Well the volcano in Montreal has been extinct for millions of years. I feel safe :D
On the other hand, when global warming (har) melts Antarctica, Australia will be drowned.  Hope you're a good swimmer! Good news is the great whites won't go hungry. mmmmmm Xen...

Yeah, It only takes a decade for the planet to shift .1 of a degree. I better get my bordies on because where 1 solid degree away from total devistation. I hope I can find something to wear in 100 years.

Oh don't worry! We're all screwed because a major polar shift will happen eventually and there's no predicting who will live and who will die then! Meanwhile, the remains of Atlantis will be revealed by the melting of Antartica, and we will finally have found it (those of us who survived, anyway) and know the truth about who built the great pyramids of giza, the sphynx, and all of the other very large pyramid like structures in South America and Cambodia! *babbles on, having listened to the story too often from his eccentric history teacher*

No, just listening too attentively in history class. My history teacher's an eccentric.

You're closer to the Yellowstone supervolcano than I am. Of course, seeing as it will wipe out a third of all life on this planet I suppose that doesn't really make much difference.

Only people with enough money and social status can afford the title "eccentric", your teacher is just a run of the mill nut-bar.

The storm thing is fairly rare and comparatively mild in California. The biggest problem with the last one was the wind speed (tore a tree up by it's roots in Throbble's parents yard). But this damn global warming seems to be giving California some strange weather. We actually had tornados near the state capitol last year.

Dorthy, I don't think we're in Kansas any more...

As for earthquakes, those are the cuddly puppies of the natural disaster world. I'd take an earthquake over a flood, hurricane, fire or war.
