    Ground moving under you is a very eerie feeling. I've only felt very minor stuff and that was enough.

    I haven't experienced a tornado or an earthquake. In New England, they happen, but barely. Like a tornado here takes out a 3 foot section of fence and it's gone. An earthquake is a minor vibration.

    Yeah, but...

    Tornadoes: "I will rearrange your county."
    Earthquakes: "I will knock all the shit off your walls and rattle some dishes."

    Nor'easter: "Let's add ice and snow to a fucking hurricane."

    If you build a house along any shoreline you're an idiot.

    True that living on the shore can be risky, but the pictures above aren't near the shore at all. Those were taken in Vermont

    The bottom picture is East Haven CT which is on the shore.

    I googled Vermont :notsure: I remember hurricane Irene stalled over Vermont and did some crazy damage. Even thought I'm closer to the ocean, my area wasn't hit quite as hard.

    So let me get this straight, this dude is supposedly a badass, decorated spec. ops guy:

    Silvercorp’s website describes Goudreau as a “highly decorated Special Forces Iraq and Afghanistan veteran.”

    But gets caught by fishermen:

    The group was “caught by popular force, by fishermen,” the anchor said.

    Am I missing something? :notsure:

    I'm not sure how much of the story is actually true. There's a picture of the weapons are gear supposedly taken off of them. Look closely...there's an airsoft rifle in there...

    So...what you're suggesting is that the Venezuelan President, horribly unpopular in his country for ruining, well, everything, fabricated this "coup attempt" in order to justify further authoritarian control measures?

    What do you think this is? Some South American paradise turned shit-burg ruined by foreign investment and western ignorance?

    That doesn't explain the other dude claiming responsibility.

    :notsure:

    Maybe someone ain't right in the head.

    Maybe there's a huge payday in it for him.

    Maybe they're all just giant idiots.

    I see it now. Add "$15M bounty" to "Florida-based" and we have a recipe for a Netflix documentary.

    This is where I live, my house has been standing on the same piece of ground since 1978 (42 years). Never been wrecked by a storm.

    Millions of people live along coastline all over the world, sometimes you get hit. So do the people living in tornado alley and they aren't by a coastline, some of them have lost there homes multiple times and here I am living on the coast and never have (knock on wood).
    What about people living on the east side of the Sierra's? They aren't going to get hit by a storm, but they get earthquakes that can tear your house down. People live in mountains and they get their houses burned up by fire.
    Not really sure the point you're trying to make. :notsure:
