I did that reversed. I watched the Avengers and learned that I don't want to see Captain America, but I do want to go watch the Hulk again. Because of the smashing. *smash* Sent from my EVO 4G Shift using Tapatalk 2
So. Commence speaking of the weather. It is beautiful over here. The sun is rodiculously bright, and despite the fact that I usually don't like the sun, it's nice to see it again after months of bleah. I mean really, we hardly got any snow even. Just a bunch of gross weather.
It's ridiculously humid in my part of the world or country. Judging by how we skipped Winter, Summer is going to metaphorically castrate us all. Oh god why
This is true, but take into consideration just how used you guys are to the heat whereas we are used to the cold. If it gets above 80 here, people complain endlessly. If it snows even a little there, everything shuts down. Also take into account the fact that my town was recently ravaged by a tornado (a unique occurrence in New England) leaving us with no trees, and as a result, no shade either. This horrifies me thinking about it.
We get atleast 40 or or so tornados a year.People complain if it gets above 100 degrees.We rarely get a decent snow*Cries a little*.
Aye, but while our houses are built to withstand massive snowstorms and blizzards in response to such high amounts of snow, your houses are built to better withstand tornados. This single tornado destroyed 3 entire neighborhoods and large sections of stores in between because they weren't suited for extreme winds.
Better withstand tornadoes? I'm afraid I'll have to disagree with that. Every time there's a rash of tornadoes, there is MASSIVE damage everywhere. Hell, last year Alabama got some and they didn't recover for like 6 or 7 months. And I don't know what this "you" you're talking about when it comes to being used to hot weather. I most certainly am not used to it, and I work out in the sun all day.
Biggest disaster around here as of late was lots of lightning. LOTS. But not really as bad as a tornado. :/ The last time we had a tornado was about 60 years ago.
It's actually a proven fact that houses in tornado areas are better built to withstand them. I don't know the details but a converse example would be how houses in New England have extremely steep rooves to avoid snow buildup and caveins, less effort is put into the stability of the supports in the houses and so a small tornado actually managed to dish out significant amounts of damage relative to its size and average amounts of calateral damage for normal tornados. By 'more used to hot weather', our definition of hot are noticeable different. As Sparky said, people there complain endlessly if it's over 100, while people here complain endlessly if it's over 80.
I love how I expected Testy to comment on our usage of the Imperial system rather than the metric system, and he did. This is a success for me 8D
In tornado alley, maybe. But we're not in tornado alley. Even a simple EF1 tornado tears though us like nothing. Also, you don't know my definition of hot. And Sparky's greatly exaggerating. Like, hugely. People here complain endlessly when it gets to be around mid-80s. People start dying when it's over 100. It's more about the humidity and UV intensity here than heat, though.
I think it's all relative. Down there, snow is a big deal because it rarely happens. Up here, tornadoes are a big deal, because they rarely happen. I think to some degree, yes, buildings are built differently in different areas based on what disasters frequently occur there, and when something out of the ordinary occurs and it causes a lot more damage than it would elsewhere, it is even more of a big deal. And I think that, like Zephyr said, we all have different definitions of "hot" and "cold". Perhaps Yami is a bit less tolerant of heat than everyone else around him.
