Default This is pretty bad....

Before you view the photo of some of the horrible damage caused by the current strom raging in Southern California, we should all take a moment to reflect on those we hold near and dear. This reminds us all how fragile life really is and how everything we have worked for can all be gone in an instant.
Please think good thoughts for those of us in Southern California who are at the mercy of nature's rage during this relentless storm.

I had a chair just like that once. Woke up one morning and it was gone. Turns out the wind flipped it into the campfire.

Well, whoever it is that sustained that horrible storm trauma can take comfort in knowing that some poor SOBs had it worse than that.

I just fished my swinging double chair with awning out of the pool WHILE IT SNOWED ON ME!!

This is a joke, right? A chair turned over at your pool. Are their missing pics?

Oh but it will be Bush's fault if you can't repair the chair, it wouldn't have anything to do with the storm being the worst on record to hit CA would it?

When hurricanes miss us or are downgraded to tropical storms, the news stations take the opportunity to whip the public into a frenzy thinking we're about to get hit with a Cat-6. The feeble-minded panic and rush the grocery stores/gas stations.

I pray for the day a major hurricane blows through here and only takes out the newscasters.

Looks to me like one of his legs is broken, the only humane thing to do now would be to put him out of his misery.
