I'm the high priest required for reafirming the covenant of the sun God Yah. These things can get better when people get behind me to get the reafirming ceremony done. It's in your bibles for a reason. I put it there in a past life to make sure I had a copy when I needed it. You're all standing against me. So what's going to happen is you're going to experience greater and greater severities of desolation, caused by the sun. Let me know when you want to find out what it was like for the Israelites I led into the covenant long ago. You all absolutely need a miracle to stop the day of the Lord in this time. I can lead you to that miracle. Or, as in the days of Noah, my Heavenly father enthroned in the sun will initiate the wash cycle when your time's up to reafirm.

@@StevenHargis-sp1vm most insurances will cover “acts of god” and natural disasters depending on location. Where I’m at for example, earthquakes and tsunamis are covered, oddly enough volcanos are not even though I’m in the lahar zone of 2 volcanos. Anywho, a tornado would most definitely be considered a natural disaster and an act of god. And if the insurance company won’t pay, you can always sue for more for breach of contract or false advertising.

Tornados can damage steel and cement structures too. Depends on the strength and path of the storm.

[@pswire1117]

@@happyfence6340 I mean, I'm not an engineer but steel re-enforced cement geodesic domes do a lot better in a tornado than tall wooden boxes. I'll take 20% of an area destroyed over 100% destruction any day.

[@melissaarispe1551]

Your talking about some homes that withstand strong winds and earthquakes.makes sense I agree with you.

[@melissaarispe1551]

Their dome shaped absolutely correct

[@blackhole9961]

The dome houses in Marco island/ cape Romano were absolutely devastated by hurricane Andrew in 1979 and are still abandoned to this day. Andrew had peak wind speeds of 165 mph which would be roughly the equivalent of a high end EF3 nearing EF4. Im pretty sure 2 of the original dome houses were destroyed in Andrew, and although most of the structures remained "intact" the insides of them were completely destroyed. There is no guarantee that a dome house will protect you especially since tornadoes tend to have the tendency to completely annihilate anything that lies in their direct path.

Inshallah as the world crisis progresses the smartest thing people do lately is building a strong investment that isn't controlled by the government. Like digital currencies.📌

CERN.. STOP SCIENTISTS FROM DRILLING TO CORE OF EARTH

[@Bobbylee-hv5tk]

Everyone said if we don’t do anything about climate. This was going to happen. That’s why we keep having insane hurricanes and now tornadoes and droughts

[@willcox4561]

Some world famous climate change predictions that never happened: “We don’t have 12 years to save the climate. We have 14 months,” the now-defunct ThinkProgress predicted 43 months ago. Former French prime minister Laurent Fabius warned 3,239 days ago that the international community had only “500 days to avoid climate chaos.” Earlier, in 2009, Gordon Brown, the U.K.’s prime minister at the time, said we had “fewer than fifty days to save our planet from catastrophe.” Also in 2009, former vice president Al Gore declared that “there is a 75% chance that the entire north polar ice cap, during some of the summer months, could be completely ice-free within the next five to seven years.” In 2013, mid-melt, the Guardian ran the following headline: “US Navy predicts summer ice-free Arctic by 2016.” The ice is still there. “NASA Scientist: We’re Toast,” reads the headline of an Associated Press report from 2008. In 2007, the IPCC predicted the Himalayan glaciers would disappear by 2035. The U.N.’s chief climate science body retracted the claim in 2010, explaining the prediction wasn’t based on any peer-reviewed data, but on a media interview with a scientist conducted in 1999. In 2006, Gore claimed that unless world leaders took “drastic measures” to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions, Earth would surpass the “point of no return” in ten years - a “true planetary emergency,” he called it. The year 2016 came and went, and now we’re being told the early 2030s are the real point of no return. The Guardian, citing a “secret report,” warned in 2004 that “major European cities will be sunk beneath rising seas as Britain is plunged into a ‘Siberian’ climate by 2020.” The year 2022 was the U.K.’s warmest since they started keeping records in 1884. The heat was, of course, blamed on climate change. “U.N. Predicts Disaster If Global Warming Not Checked,” the AP reported in 1989. The report’s opening line reads, “senior U.N. environmental official says entire nations could be wiped off the face of the Earth by rising sea levels if the global warming trend is not reversed by the year 2000.” Like Charlie Brown and the football, some folks (too many actually) continue to believe this doomsday nonsense no matter how many times they are proven wrong. I guess it is true that it is easier to fool people than convince them that they have been fooled.

[@pmo8135]

How many billions or trillions in taxes is it going to change 1°. How is anything that they are proposing to change the climate actually going to succeed. We will always adapt that's what we have always done.

Instead of giving billions to other countries, that money should be going to our own citizens.

[@batsonelectronics]

it does. We send older arms and pay American companies to replenish our stockpile, so our stuff is always fresh.

Maybe you should be complaining about the corporate payouts of trillions.
