MOST OF THE AREA WILL BE UNINHABITABLE FOR WEEKS...PERHAPS LONGER. AT LEAST ONE HALF OF WELL CONSTRUCTED HOMES WILL HAVE ROOF AND WALL FAILURE. ALL GABLED ROOFS WILL FAIL.
THE MAJORITY OF INDUSTRIAL BUILDINGS WILL BECOME NON FUNCTIONAL.
HIGH RISE OFFICE AND APARTMENT BUILDINGS WILL SWAY DANGEROUSLY...A FEW TO THE POINT OF TOTAL COLLAPSE. ALL WINDOWS WILL BLOW OUT.
POWER OUTAGES WILL LAST FOR WEEKS...AS MOST POWER POLES WILL BE DOWN AND TRANSFORMERS DESTROYED. WATER SHORTAGES WILL MAKE HUMAN SUFFERING INCREDIBLE BY MODERN STANDARDS.
I've been busy all day and havn't been watching anything on TV. I somewhat ignore the news media when it comes to natural disasters because they overhype shit to sell newspapers and get ratings. Everthing is the worst something ever to happen to something. It really hit me when I read the quoted NWS release. The people who wrote that don't make any money by being sensational. They are very dorky scientists with massive computers who do thier best to predict the near future. I don't know why their press releases are always in all caps like a cmoney post.
The short, absolute sentances are crazy, particularly
"ALL GABLED ROOFS WILL FAIL." and "WATER SHORTAGES WILL MAKE HUMAN SUFFERING INCREDIBLE BY MODERN STANDARDS."
David, if you can still read this, let us know what's going on where you are.
