god damn that's going to suck. i was in southern luzon in 2009 when a typhoon emong smashed the island... i caught the periphery and it was still insane. the bus i was taking from manila to legaspi (largely to escape the maelstrom) ended up getting caught in washed-out roads and i found out the next day that entire bridges and roads had been swamped, with other buses dragged out to sea.

 

and that will pale in comparison to this.

The story I heard about that military base was that the Phils wanted us gone. Badly.

When a volcano was showing signs of erupting, we moved all our equipment out.

The volcano eventually erupted and destroyed what was the naval base. The powers that be saw it was destroyed and said "yep, you can have it. as is."

I didn't think it was the 80s, but I I thought I remembered a story about some of our military raping or killing

a young teen and they wanted us out completely but I'm not sure.  

 

Regardless, this is being ranked as one of the top 5 storms in recorded history.  I was in Myrtle Beach

when Hugo hit, and I can't imagine a 230 mph wind gust

:lol:

 

i have lucked out when it comes to natural disasters. i escaped the brunt of emong, and nestled comfortably in legaspi for two weeks next to mayon, an active volcano that holds the distinction of being the world's most perfectly-formed cone... and a month after i flew home it blew its top and half the province was evacuated. then last year i drove across upland ecuador, took a picture in front of snowcapped chimborazo, and saw on the news the next day that it'd erupted out of freaking nowhere and the country was mobilizing to evacuate the surrounding communities.

 

i'm starting to rethink this russia thing

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
