"Again! Why?"

"Maybe because you chose to live in an area which regularly has big tornados passing through and has done throughout known history. Don't you think you should stop filming for social media clout and protect yourself?"

"Don't tell me what to do! Oh shit"

And where do you live, jet199? I ask, because I have not found a place on earth that is immune from all natural disasters of one form or another. Did you find a secret place?

The majority of the UK. Like the guy said, if you build on a flood plain and get flooded that's not a natural disaster because 100m yards down the road you never have a problem.

The majority of the US is the same. Yes, natural disasters can randomly happen. But the most people in the world simply aren't having natural disasters happen to them every year around the same time. That's a minority thing. Americans might think it's normal but it isn't.

There's a documentary on netflix about the Nepal earthquake and the locals all say they didn't even know what an earthquake was before it hit even though they aren't uncommon in that area. You guys have disaster porn, you actually love that shit really. That probably makes you think it's more common in the rest of the world than it is.

No, you guys live in places which in the old world would be near wastelands inhabited by just the odd goat herder every few miles. Why do you think much of Africa is still like that?

I have ancestors that left Ireland around the time of the potato famine and came to the United States. People literally starved to death there. It happened before... and it will happen again. But I would not point the finger at the people of Ireland and tell them they should have moved. I would tell them, and tell you: Repent. These disasters are the judgments of God falling on unrepentant man.

The UK will not be spared, either. The land is cursed because people trust in men, instead of trusting the Lord. You have a king? The only way to be saved is through the King of kings and Lord of lords, and his name is Jesus. America has also forsaken Him and is now falling. No place on earth will be spared God's judgments.

There's places in the uk that are built on flood prone areas, and every couple of years there's a story about people being flooding and getting annoyed.

You bought a 3 bedroom house for 50 quid and took that gamble. Bugger off.
