When a tornado comes you get to the lowest point possible, so if you’re outside near a ditch, jump in it. Clearly you’re better off in a storm cellar or basement…but if you’re outside that’s your best bet. Coming from an Arkansas lady who has experienced many a tornado.

@@kabirconsiders they are fascinating to see. If you have a chance to see the damage after, have a look. When my aunts house was hit, a small bottle of lotion was stuck in the wall, perfectly shaped hole, like someone had carved it out just for that. I’ve seen splinters stuck in trees 6 inches deep. I’ve seen the whole bottom of a mobile home stuck in trees, each room outlined by carpet and tile and the hallway. And it’s amazing how one house is destroyed and the next house still has flowers in their flower beds, nothing touched. So random, but the force is amazing.

[@benrast1755]

Hiding behind a tree is a bad idea when a tornado is coming. For one thing, those storms often bring lightning too, and it's a bad idea to be close to a tree if lightning hits hit. Second, tornadoes can rip trees out of the ground or blow them over. If it's impossible to get to a sturdy building for shelter, the best thing is to get down into a ditch or other depression to get out of the highest wind/debris blow.

Talk about snow, Big Bear, Southern California, received 45 inches of snow in 72 hours. That was just one of the storms. They kept coming, trapping people under an additional six feet of new snow for two weeks. People were trapped, completely trapped. They finally were dug out this past week. Lake Arrowhead received a total for all the storms of 110 inches. The weight crushed some cars and collapsed roofs all over the mountain.

That restaurant covered in ice looked like a scene from the old movie, Dr. Zhivago. There was a house in that movie that very much resembled this restaurant and remarkably, people were continuing to live in it, though it was totally encased in ice. It looked terribly cold but it also was incredibly beautiful! That ice castle and the haunting musical score are two things about Dr. Zhivago that are the most memorable.

Buildings in Japan are built on a unique system called a earthquake prevention system. It basically dulls the impact of earthquakes by changing the movement from up and down to side to side. It’s a sort of floating system that barely makes a building move. High rises and temples use a different approach as a central beam (wood or steel) absorbs everything that an earthquake does leaving the building stable and combined with the sliding system building are not even phased by earthquakes. It’s actually part of building code to have these in place. Liquid ground does happen and often insurance companies will test the ground in advance to be sure if it could happen and not to build on top just in case.

[@kabirconsiders]

Very clever innovation from the Japanese. Must increase the cost of construction, I would imagine

[@mildredpierce4506]

@@kabirconsiders earthquake prone places like California also have building codes that require that a building needs to be built a certain way to minimize the damage of an earthquake. I was on the 12th floor of a building in Los Angeles during an earthquake. It was barely noticeable (you kind of feel queasy). The building was built on rollers so instead of collapsing the building moves with the earthquake this preventing damage. Of course if the earthquake had been severe, no amount of building codes would have prevented the collapse of a high-rise building. Even during the 1994 Northridge earthquake, no high-rises collapsed. There were severely damaged buildings and freeways but the high rises remained intact.

[@HyperWolf]

@@mildredpierce4506 yeah. I think even large houses and apartment buildings, not just high rises, that are being built now in California sometimes incorporate some of these things as well. It’s expensive but worth it if you can afford it.

Back in the late 80s there was a tornado that went through Raleigh, NC. A place I was working brought in the head of the fire department's paramedics to teach us first aid and CPR, and he told us a story that I had heard rumors of before. One apartment complex had the second-floor entirely ripped off of a few buildings but left the first floor completely intact and undamaged. When the First Responders arrived, they saw a brass four-post bed in the middle of the parking lot like it had been gently placed right in a parking space, and was still made up. Under the covers they could see two lumps, and he was thinking, "Oh f***, I really don't want to see this." He pulled back the covers to look, and a woman's eyes open sleepily and then she reached up and pulled the covers back over her head. Then he could see her nudge the shape next to her and she whispered, "Honey, honey, there's a man in our bedroom!" It turns out that both of them had slept right through the tornado, didn't have a scratch on them, and we're completely unaware that their bed was now in the middle of the parking lot with their apartment debris strewn for a mile around.

That was a sheet metal roof, we have one on our house. They are tough as nails as long as you can keep the wind from getting up under it. We had a massive ice storm here and trees went through the roofs of numerous houses, but while ours had a couple small leaks it never gave in in spite of a whole night of limbs and trees hitting it hard enough to make the house shake. Wind is the only real enemy of a sheet metal roof. Ours has no overlap, nothing hanging to give the wind a chance to get under it.

I believe that restaurant in Buffalo experiences that same issue every year. They are right on the lake and its such a cold place every winter. I think most places near the Great Lakes experience this lake effect snow (an ice in this case). They are probably a seasonal business, so it didn't cost them much in revenue.

You ought to react to a national news story that is legendary near where I live in Western Washington. There's a video about the Tacoma BBQ shootout between the notorious Crips gang and a group of military Rangers. I've seen a couple of reaction videos and one where some douchebag basically ripped it and obviously knew nothing about the story or this area. A member of my one of my Grunge bands was the little brother of one of those Rangers. It was so insane, like an old western legend, the story quickly garnered national attention. What they don't tell you is that not long before the shootout, a bunch of Crips were hassling a group of Rangers at the Tacoma Mall thinking they were Skinheads because of their mohawk like haircuts. Nobody was armed that day and a Crip took a swing, but the Rangers beat the crap out of the Crips who had no idea they were trained military special forces. But the BBQ incident made that story seem like child's play. Very fun to watch!!

When my husband graduated from Basic and AIT (US Army) at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, it was January 2006. My sister in law and I rented a car in South Carolina and drove out. On the morning we started back home, there was a little snow and ice at our hotel in OK but as we drove east, it got heavier and worse visibility. When we got to Atlanta, the interstate was at a dead stop from multiple accidents. As we got moving again, we had to stop every few miles to scrape ice off the wiper blades until it slacked off at the state line. When we finally arrived back in Charleston, people were staring hard at us. Had no idea why until we got to my mom's house and tried to get out. The doors wouldn't open! We had to kick pretty hard and heard a crunch. They'd been iced shut! And the car was *covered in ice that froze into a scale like pattern!* We were driving an ice dinosaur 😂😅

I lived in Arkansas for 5 years. The rice crops there, in water, gained MORE water as they moved through the plains. One gets in the lowest position possible.

You may think they should jump out of the car and grab some of that tastes fish; however, by the time they are spawning, the fish are dying, so the meat isn't good. It's really fun to watch them jump upstream when they need to climb up a small waterfall or step in a stream or river. Bears go nuts! Can you imagine your dinner jumping towards you?

That's happened to Hoak's Restaurant on more than one occasion during a big winter storm. They've learned just don't touch the ice and everything will thaw out and be just fine. There's been more than one occasion where a car in their parking lot meets the same fate. This stretch of road is notorious for this happening to homes and vehicles, and during this particular storm they actually issued an evacuation order to the residents nearby because they expected that this would happen.

[@newgrl]

"Imagine you're just on a jog, like just running in the park and this happens. What do you do?" - Well... not get behind a tree that's about to be ripped out by its roots and go for a ride. What you really do is find the lowest ditch around you and climb in, even if it's full of water. If there's anything at all around you that you can cover yourself with, do so. This is the safest practice if you're caught unaware and unable to get away from a tornado. It's not the wind that's dangerous, it's the stuff blowing in the wind that is. A ditch offers you some protection on your sides from the crap blowing around that will kill you and gets you as far away as possible from the sucking vortex coming at you. Good luck! You're going to need it. -signed Kansas (about 100 miles away from Bonner Springs)

Unusually the ice palace has happened before in Chicago but for totally different reason. A building caught fire and well it was bitterly cold that day. The firefighters sprayed water as per standard but when it hit the building the water froze without putting out the fire so the water kept coming until the building froze completely yet the fire still burned inside. The firefighters were completely at a loss at what to do as they were forced to wait it out and basically fire won burning the building to ground yet the ice shell was still intact and yeah it stood for a week before it finally melted. this was in the 1900s I think before modern tech so they were seriously stuck.
