If the ocean ever disappears DONT GO LOOKING FOR IT… go in the other direction

i know this sounds like a shitpost but isn’t this like, real advice regarding tsunamis

Yes this was about hurricane Irma it is not a shitpost

This is actually really good advice so let me elaborate a bit: if you notice the tide is retreating very quickly at a very odd time of day, get as far away from water and as high up as you can. I live along the ocean and a long time ago we had a small tsunami and a relative of mine tells me how her father saw the tides retreating so he just picked her up and just ran, which probably saved their lives.

 

So yeah DONT LOOK FOR THE MISSING OCEAN just run away

ocean not lost, ocean is actually winding up to kick you very hard in the nuts.

“And now, the weather. There’s a winter storm coming in, and it’s going to be a doozy- no snow, this time. It’s just 100% hail, accompanied by a dense layer of fog that’s going to make driving more dangerous than usual. Everyone is recommended to stay inside, or at least go out with a warm parka and a sheet metal umbrella.

That’s it for the weather today- apologies for the unusual format, by the way. Just to summarize, the weather is going to be: All hail; thick, low cloud.”

It’s snowing. It’s the fifteenth of May and it’s fucking snowing.

Fuck.

It’s not even November yet, dammit. “First snowfall that sticks long enough for me to put a footprint in it” is supposed to be November ~5th around here.

On the bright side, it’s supposed to be back up to double-digits Celsius tomorrow, so it won’t stick too much longer than needed to put a footprint in it.

(But still.)

californians: every time you complain about it being somewhere in the neighborhood of 50 degrees, i add a dollar to the fight jar. eventually i will have enough dollars in the fight jar to purchase a plane ticket to california and fight each and every one of you individually

I was nodding along with this post at first, but then I remembered:

Natural disasters Ontario is prone to: basically nothing except ice storms.

Natural disasters California is prone to: basically everything except ice storms.

(Pretty sure living in Ontario, CA does not let you have the best of both worlds. Alas.)

It is currently colder in Canada and in the northern US than on Mars!

Thanks to the polar vortex, it felt like -35 degrees Celsius with the wind chill at our headquarters near Montreal, Quebec this morning (January 8th, 2014). That’s colder than where Mars Curiosity is roving in the Red Planet’s Gale Crater!
