Well that was boring!

A few days ago i made the decision to stay put and ride out the third strongest storm in U.S. history. I boarded up my windows, locked up my roof hatch (I uh......wont explain why I built one of those.). Stocked up on food, water, batteries, and gas. I cleaned, checked, and tested my Rifle several times over to make sure it was in working order, and I made about 100 rounds of .30-6 ammunition for it. I sharpened my Machete.

So, now I was ready for 150+ mile per hour winds (I dunno what youd call it for you metric lads), and I had an unnessesary amount of ammo for looters (and a sword....ya know..just in case). I was ready.

So what happens? The damn thing turns north at the last second and I get wind gusts of 20 mph and a rain so light, that I didnt even see a puddle on my street.

BORING! I want action! I wanna be the crazy old coot on top of his roof sniping poor people going house to house and looting the sweet rewards within. Urg.

Meanwhile...

In other countries, guns are still seen to be a bad thing. Possibly the line about sniping looters gives a clue :P

On the topic...it's 240km/h winds ( 150 mph). We get such winds quite regularly in parts of my country. Somehow noone thinks much about it apart of being mad at trucks that get capsized and blocking the road.

LOL, It's all fun and games until you're in the shit. Sitting in pitch black listening to the wind howling for hours on end hoping the roof doesn't get ripped off before your eyes...it's all excitement and adventure when they "might" hit you...when you finally get a storm that excitement turns to anxiety. One thing is for sure, i'm not going to stick around for the next one.

As far as shooting goes, only protect yourself, your loved ones and your property, everyone else is on their own...we don't want to see our Volly on the evening news now :-''

BTW...they're not looters anymore..they are "undocumented shoppers" :roll:
