My coworkers think I'm crazy because I said I thought all the earthquakes I lived through in California (low magnitude, nothing serious) were cool and that I want to see a tornado (from a safe distance).

Assuming no serious injuries or major property damage:

heyooo, haven't been able to check out 911 season 7 yet because of life stuff happening too much lol. did they set up any interesting plot lines this time?

here's what i've got for you

potentially delusional bisexual buck arc, but we say that every season

almost certainly a buck jealousy/disliking being replaced arc with eddie when eddie makes a new friend (which is what people think will lead to bisexual buck)

hen interim captain -> full captain perhaps? i think that's the direction we're headed, people keep complimenting her on her captaining

brief athena/bobby marriage worries but they fixed that real fast, though i would've actually liked to see the two of them genuinely struggle for a longer period of time

christopher diaz is a player. which. i don't know if its plot but it was funny

eddie is not over his dead wife divorcing him/dying, even though it's been 5 seasons

literally nothing has happened with maddie or chimney yet

the first three epsiodes were taken up with the cruise ship disaster (which i actually didn't find very interesting at all, and all three episodes are probably some of my least favourite of the show so far) so nothing much has been set up at all??

hen and karen adopting has not come back up yet, nor has chimney and maddie's wedding. eddie and buck's season 6 relationships are footnotes so far this season

~ And The World Collapsed ~

When Robert "Robbie" Scott opened his eyes and tried to look around, he didn't know what had happened at first. It was pitch black and all he could remember was that he had been at work.

Robbie felt the familiar floor beneath him of a room that had once been his office. His office, where he had developed new projects and advanced technological progress on a daily basis. His office, which had been lovingly decorated with mementos and photos from his native Scotland. His office, which was now in absolute chaos and destruction.

An earthquake! Right. There had been an earthquake. Robbie had just managed to get up from his chair and he had tried to crawl under the desk, but he hadn't quite made it.

He coughed weakly. His body felt so incredibly heavy. As if a weight was pressing down on him. He carefully moved his arms and felt his dark surroundings. To his horror, the Scotsman realized that part of him was buried under debris from the fallen ceiling. He had only managed to get his head, arms and upper torso to safety in time.

He let out a low Gaelic curse and shook his head in despair. Not only was he buried alive in the confines of his office, but he was pinned to the floor by wreckage.

With great effort, Robbie tried to free himself somehow, but every movement caused him incredible pain and he eventually gave up. Why waste precious energy when he wasn't going to get very far anyway?

He closed his eyes and tried to imagine how long it would take for the injured and buried victims to be rescued. How many parts of the city had been affected by the earthquake? How severe was the damage? How many rescue workers were deployed?

Robbie knew that it was partly possible to beam victims out of their hiding places and shelters, which had been the reason why he himself had tried to get his body to safety under the desk, but if the body was not exposed, it was a big problem.

If they tried to beam Robbie out of his position, they would most likely beam debris with him, which was too great a danger.

So the Scotsman could only wait and hope that the rescue would proceed quickly and that he would be found very soon.

His thoughts wandered to Leah and Robbie swallowed hard. His girlfriend must have had her hands full tending to the injured who had been taken to hospital.

His heart seemed to stop for a moment when he thought about the unlikely possibility that even the very earthquake-proof hospital might have been damaged. What if Leah was injured? What if she herself was one of the victims?

"Nae... nae, she's fine," the Scotsman quietly muttered to himself, trying to chase away the dark thoughts. Leah had to be fine! She was safe at the hospital. She was doing her job, saving people's lives.

However, the thought of his girlfriend being injured or buried like him wasn't easy to push from Robbies thoughts. It lingered in his mind for minutes, hours, mixing with another fear.

What about his son? Was Chris okay? How safe was his working place? God, he couldn't lose his son! His only child!

Tears filled his eyes as Robbie gritted his teeth in despair. If only there was a way to contact his loved ones...

He thought of his communicator. It was in his pocket. If only he could reach it to check if it was still working.

Once again Robbie gathered all his strength and tried to move. He could feel the debris on top of him moving a little bit and for a short moment, he actually had hope. Maybe he could get his legs free. Maybe he could reach his comm. Maybe –

When the ground started to shake again, Robbie let out a loud cry of pain as more and more debris crushed him under its weight. One second the pain was unbearable, the next one it was gone. And so was Robbie's consciousness.

Boop!

I watched the new Twisters. Really good follow up for the first one. Also that make me think of a question. Have you ever seen something like a tornado or others natural destructive accident like that?

Personally for now I'm happy that no I have never seen that in real life.

Booooooooop!

I don't think I've ever seen twisters lmao. Should I watch it? What's the genre?

I live on the East Coast, and we get a lot of hurricanes! The worst one was hurricane fiona, we had now power for 4 days and couldn't leave our house!! It was awful, lmao!!
