O/T California Storm Watch 2004

[Rekd™]

With all the news lately about the sub-zero

weather and snow that the east coast has been

experiencing, we shouldn't forget that Southern

California has its share of devastating weather

also. Attached is a photo illustrating the

damage caused to a home from a west coast storm

that passed through the San Diego area a couple

of days ago.

 

It really makes you cherish what you have, and

reminds us not to take life for granted!!!

'Rekd teh barely made it out alive!

[Brendan P]

Ooh Wow...

A wet tipped over chair.

I hope that storm never passes this way.

[Hardmill]

That is truly awful. And we wonder why insurance

rates are so high.

 

PEACE

[Harryman]

LOL

 

Moment of silence please for the fallen flower petals.

 

Yeah you got it rough.

 

Not bad here today, high near 40... Heat wave!

 

Biking weather soon

[Jimmy Wakeford from Barefoot CNC]

Rekd,

 

Strange how the storm has the same effect as too many rum and cokes on plastic chairs.

I had'nt noticed them, this is very tragic.

 

PEACE

[dinoracer]

ya gotta realise that the news channels in So Cal will call two sprinkles on the windshield stormwatch 04!! Besides some people freak out when there is a light sprinkle and start building an ark

[Harryman]

Think Flinstones pet.

 

dinoracer goes to the pet store and says "this dino has blisters on his feet, I want a new one." The store owner looks at the little dino, and sure enough, it's feet were severly blistered. The owner wanting to keep the customer happy hands over a new dino, and dinoracer runs out of the store.

 

Walking home that afternoon, the store owner sees a group of boys playing with their HotWheels cars, or at least that's what he assumed as he saw the boys tearing around making motor noises, Vroom, vvVVVrooommmm, pushing something, on their two knees and one hand... Suddenly he recognizes one of the boys

 

Welcome to the forum dude Hope that was OK. an old joke suddenly popped into my head

 

Edit: Oops, I see you've been around a lot longer than me Hi, I'm Harry.

[Keithm]

I hope that nobody was injured

[mayday]

I'm surpised

 

hasn't your insurance co. recommended cast iron deck furniture must be tuf to get it without showing an effort to fight the elements.

[Philcott]

Matt,

 

That was a mean, callous, underhanded, low, unfeeling, dispicable, uncaring and deplorable act of making light of someone elses misfortunes.

are you sure it wasn't a localized phenomenom

such as suggested by jimmy at Wakeford.

[A-ron1286490684]

A mighty wind indeed! I always have to buy extra hairspray this time of the year and it bothers me to no end.

 

Not to mention we've gone through two, -yes TWO sets of windchimes in the last three years

When the storm hit our neighborhood it was devastating. One of our neighbor’s homes was damager even more severely. Two chairs were knocked over and the limb of a tree actually fell on to their deck. Of course they have contacted their lawyers and are filing the following lawsuits:

 

Wal-Mart for selling the defective chairs.

 

Georgia Pacific because the wooden deck was so easily damage by the falling chairs and tree limb.

 

Georgia Pacific again for not harvesting the tree from which the limb fell.

 

Mother Nature for sending such a devastating storm into Southern California when she should know we are supposed to have perfect weather 24/7.

 

The family has sought emotional counseling and is accepting donations to help them through this difficult time.

 

[SledGeek]

Now , Rekd...how many times do i have to tell you

NO leaning back in the chairs !!

 

Rekd teh one to many rum and cokes

[Scott Bond]

Rek'd seeing how your contribution to Mastercam programming is staggering, Is it possible you might be over reacting a little.

 

Scott the’ it's not even wet underneath the table?

Yeah it tastes like chicken.

[P_Scott]

Gosh Rekd,

 

By the time that storm makes it across country, we'll have to make sure the cocktail napkins are weighed down with an ashtray or something. Better get to the store and buy more coasters. I've gotta make sure the sliding screen door is shut when I get home. Quick, call the fire dept. How'd you ever survive that natural disaster?

Actually Jack it's Aaron with two A's but that's quite alright I intentionally misspell it on a regular basis myself with each posting.

 

-And no I haven't tried moose. I have a hard enough time catching those feisty little sheep. Moose seem like another challenge altogether.

 

But seriously I may have to consider moose, (or maybe even gel), since the devastation in Rekd's storm picture shows the chair may have even been dragged a few inches after it was ripped from it's place there on what remains of the deck.

[A-ron1286490684]

Sometimes it's even necessary to close the patio umbrellas here in California from time to time to avoid damage or the risk of flying debris...

[P_Scott]

After careful reevaluation of the digital photo of the devastation provided by our illustrious colleague, I have concluded my original estimation of the damage to have been grossly inadequate. Notice the skewed angle of the secondary flower bed on the rail of the deck. This prooves beyond a shadow of a doubt that the magnitude of force necessary for such a dislodging of the fixture exceeds the capabilities of our equipment to measure.

 

Rekd I hope you're well covered insurance wise.

id call the public adjuster rite away
