Went to the Apple store to buy an ethernet adapter. BOOM! HAIL! Was waiting at the stoplight when suddenly the poor Crossfire got pelted. Made a u-turn and went and hid in the mall garage. Tried to poke out a few times, still hailing, meanwhile the garage was flooding. WHAT TO DO!

Trees fell, power lines were on the road.

Mustang needs pontoons.

Wow that could turn into some flood damaged vehicles pretty quick.

 

[The Tony Show]

That blows, Jesda. The poor Crossfire!

Don't buy a Mac

^^^^^ post of the day!


Sux for you Jesda.

Wow, that's pretty insane.

See what happens when you drive a Chrysler! :lol:

God hates Mac owners. Having a Chrysler compounds the felony.

...and own Macs.





Seriously though, sorry to hear that. Hopefully there was no hail damage to the crossfire.

You fool, you've killed us all.

Well luckily I don't believe in God, because I'm going to bite the bullet pretty soon and buy a MacBook Pro. Windows has just pissed the shit out of me with Vista as I've always been anti-Apple. Although I'll probably still go Windows for desktops, I won't be buying one until Windows 7 comes out.

That sucks Jesda. I wonder if there was a Tornado

Downgrade to XP.

But then I can't use DX10. Plus the fact that Apple computers are really good hardware-wise, there are very few viruses for them, and many PC programs are now usable on Mac have also fueled my decision

 

[Jesda]

In fairness I didn't buy a Mac, I just put OS X on my Acer.
And I didn't buy a Chrysler, I just took over Ian's payments.


But apparently the weather gods frown upon possession as if it was the same as full ownership. I guess the same is true of cocaine. "No officer, I'm just holding it for a friend!"

 

[Playdrv4me]

Speaking of posession... I keep reading this thread title as "I hate Jail." I suppose you did kind of technically end up in one too.

Just got an e-mail via the campus alert system that a severe thunderstorm warning has been declared for the two counties south and east of Corvallis, moving to the northwest at 25 MPH. Damaging winds in excess of 60 MPH and quarter-size hail are reported.

Sabrina already has what I'm pretty sure are a couple of small hail dings — on the roof and one on the trunk — I really don't want more. But at least if I do, it should be covered by my comprehensive insurance.

Storm is almost here. And it looks like Corvallis will get the rough stuff:

Just stepped outside and the clouds to the southeast are almost black. Some thunder rolling. The sky reminds me of what I grew up with in West Texas.

 

[Night Wolf]

WHAT TO DO!

Buy a Wrangler. The world around you becomes your playground, flooding included .

Storm just hit a few minutes ago:

Although Oregon is famous (or infamous) for rain, we rarely get strong thunderstorms, at least in the Willamette Valley. It was pouring buckets:

Water was pouring off the roof in our building, so much so that the basement, where our conference room is located, flooded with a couple inches of water.

Shot a quick video with one of our Flip cameras. If it's any good, I'll put it up on YouTube.
