because i care about you all

[Talmina]

ok im not sure how many of you have heard about it yet, but there was another fatal car accident this afternoon around 1:30. i know this because my mum and i were on our way home and were one of the first cars on the scene. a friend and neighbour of mine and her little sister witnessed it.

in the car was a 19 year old boy, he died. there wasnt much hope for him as the top of the car was pretty much flattened. according to my friend, he was speeding.

i live in a small rural community where almost everyone either knows each other or someone they know knows them. there is a good chance i knew this kid, although no one recognized the car.

please everyone, DRIVE SAFELY THESE HOLIDAYS.

[Rilla]

They said that there was a good chance of a tsunami hitting aus as well.

[Timm]

Um, I think that would be in the north...and besides, there's warning systems here

But yes, don't do anything stupid/harm-y these holidays!

[Miska]

timm dont count on it! there was a warning system for that one too, but no one bothered to tell anyone! plus is could easily it the east coast! to make it worse there is no plan of attack if it does....but i dont want to get started on that topic cos im really bitter and twisted about it!

[Rilla]

*hugs miska*

[Miska]

awwwwww thank u rilla! *hugs back* ur hugs are sooo good! dont ever stop them!

[Ceirwan]

Oh dear, Talmina, how distressing! Have you found out whether you knew the guy or not?

Thanks for caring about us.

[Monster]

everyone be safe

luckily in ireland we don't have tsunamis, earthquakes, volcanoes or twisters.
we do have some small flooding and edges of hurricanes

creature wise the most dangerous creature is the rat because they carry diseases

so need to worry about me

i hope everyone is safe and well in this new year and every year afterwards

because like everyone else here i care too

i can't imagine the horror and tragedy of a tsunami and hope i and no one here ever has to experience it

i didnt know him, but it was still pretty sad, and to make matters worse, i found out that a friend of mine was in a serious accident on christmas day and spent a week in hospital. if the car had rolled the other way he wouldve ended up off a cliff.

i think im going through a bad run with this sort of thing atm

[~Dani~]

You poor thing Talmina!

In Japan they have earthquakes, tsunamis and cyclones and floods. Also people are really bad drivers and I have to pay lots of attention when riding my bike as lots of people are in a dreamworld

[Monster]

its kinda strange
i've seen people cringe at the thought of going in lifts but never even think of the dangers on the road

Omega

[Miska]

poor thing jes! *huggles*

and omega i no wat u mean...i no ppl like that and i just dont get it!

[~Dani~]

Lifts are heaps safer than cars
Swimming at the beach is safer than driving a car!

[Monster]

i can't swim

Omega

[Miska]

u poor thing omega! i seriously couldnt handle not being able to swimm...and i competely agree dani!

[Monster]

the lift in our library is really old and creeks

i love it

hey im sorta new where are you guys all from? are you mainly austrlians?
also about like the tsunami and stuff do you reckon that we could ever get a fire storm? cause my dad reckons that there are fires torms but obviously not like in obernewtyn

[Elspethseeker]

Hello nice to meet you! I am actually American. You know I think there are fire storms and like when lightning strikes a dry area or somethng and starts a ton of fires that is what it is *sigh* and yes there are almost all australians on here

[elspravekrush]

thats kool my friend is over there now with skool.
i reckon that the firestorms in obernewtyn r like acid and have all that nuclear stuff in them cause everything stays so dead for ages not like with normal fire

[Elspethseeker]

yep. but that is about as close as you can get here. YOur friend is an exchange student i take it? Where is she?

[Talmina]

yeah my bf hates lifs, hes really claustrophobic.

and omega, i cant swim either, well i kinda can underwater, but i cant float. then again metal does tend to sink...

i agree with the firestorm theory. i think that the nuclear poisions from the great white transformed simple thunderstorms into something much more fearsome that could only be extinguished by the acid rain that falls with them.

the bushfires in canberra 2 years ago (woah it was two years already since mordor visited canberra) were started by lightning strikes. i guess thats the closest you can get to a firestorm these days though, unless someone can tell me something

[Monster]

i think but could be wrong that a fire storm is when it gets so hot that the air itself is on fire

it happened in dresden in world war 2 when the allies held a major bombing campaign on the town

but fire storms are not normal or natural

i agree in ober it seems to be something similar to acid rain but it seems different
