That Elblag Canal video was amazing, Brett.
Get's even better when you look it up: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elbląg_Canal

Rube Goldberg must have been born before the lock was invented.

The article linked by Stig states there are a few locks as well but the difference in elevation precluded the use of locks for the entire canal system.

Probably the clearest, best tornado I have seen.

That would get your attention.

I'd move ASAP!!!

Meh...no matter where you go, I think, there are the low probability but with high negative consequence destructive natural events that might occur.

Here in western Oregon for example, tornados are rare indeed...but the likelihood of a Richter scale 9+ quake and probable subsequent tsunami within the next 20 years, historically speaking, is very high...long overdue, many experts say.

On Big Island, aka Hawaii, tornados are even rarer than here...but lava flows are a real risk on a good portion of the southeastern part of the island day in and day out.

No free lunch.

B, i respectfully have to disagree. Here in the midwest tornadoes are incredibly common. While they don't hit everyday, they hit often enough to be considered more like the current wildfires out west. In the last 10 years or less, at least 2 surrounding cities by me have been completely leveled by them (i think one was even mentioned on here for storm work), and another hit a weld shop with an f4 (they made tshirts lol). On my way to work, i drove through a town that had one go by, over a mile of powerline was on the ground and the poles blown apart. Box trucks were laying on their side. Due to the advances in weather tracking, fatalities are becoming rare, but the storms themselves are not.

I think the point he was trying to make is there is no completely "safe" place to live.

Looked like it was rigged without the climber having any climbing gear.

I'm not locked in here with you....YOU are locked in here with me....mofo.

This is pretty cool. Matt Hughes, former UFC 2x welterweight champion. He was known to be a serious douche by those that knew him and also as indicated in his autobiography. And also known for freakish physical strength. Then he got hit by a train.

Well. Here on the scenic Cumberland Plateau.......

LOL

We are way past due for an earthquake.

But......flooding ain't a issue, tornadoes are rare, wildfires are unheard of......same for mudslides. We are in a great location really.
