      No sir! I live a good 10 miles away but this is where I grew up and I have friends that live in the neighborhood. I lived right down the street from these houses in high school. The newer houses down the street didn't fare too well. The second story of one house was ripped off and parked buses were flipped. The mayor said this morning that this is the worst damage High Point has ever received. The raw power this earth creates still amazes me.

        Wow. The worst weather I've been in was an earthquake. I think it was a 3.4...4.3...I don't know, something like that. ๐Ÿ˜• You have any other shots?

          Hmmmmm, do I? or don't I? Oh what an epic internal battle. I think I don't...

          Lately you've been tan, suspicious for the winter.

            An earthquake! I experienced a little shake when holidaying in CA in '86. 4.3 sounds like a bad one! Where was it?

              I've never experienced an earthquake but I've had my fair share of hurricanes and those are no fun. Here are a few more shots from yesterday..

                David,

                I notice in the first pic (above set) that the house behind the uprooted tree seems untouched! I understand that these hurricanes can take a narrow path but thats amazing.

                  Mike, these are pics from the tornado that passed through. The house was untouched. The older brick homes didn't have as much damage as the newer homes down the street.

                    ๐Ÿ˜ฒ Wow. Hurricanes? I haven't seen one. or been in one.

                    Don't worry, this shot was taken with water dyed red, not vodka, or alcohol... ๐Ÿ˜†


                    I took this one to help my sister with a model which was to have this pic in a frame.

                      Who worries about alcohol? ๐Ÿ˜†

                      Seeing so much destruction gives me the creeps as I think what could have happened to someone out in the open when the hurricane passed. ๐Ÿ˜•

                      Two shots from my city. I took these photos back in 2005.


                      River Guayas, seen from Malecon 2000.


                      Cerro Santa Ana, again seen from Malecon 2000.

                        It may well have been a 3.4...I may word it better by saying, I heard I slept through it... ๐Ÿ˜† I only eperienced the after shock. I think that on was a 2.5, but I'm not too sure. ๐Ÿ˜•

                        Still need to get around to resizing my photos so I can show them here.

                        Nice shots, Ecuadorian. I like the last one. Very nice...

                            Don't confuse hurricanes with tornadoes. (I imagine Bubba knows both, being from that area.)

                              I'm just lazy. I have Picasa, just haven't got around to changing the resolution. ๐Ÿ˜†

                                      I live a bit North-West of High Point and we missed those. I hope your house was spared that mess.
