Yeah it seems the others have become quite obsessed with the anal.
Well; it sucks to hear the weather bureau over there fails to give warnings. It's pretty much the same thing everywhere: bureaus of meteorology and other weather-related shite fail so badly. There were these bushfires over here where 200+ people died (earlier this year) and there's now an inquest into why the BOM or CFA (weather and fire brigade) didn't issue enough warnings beforehand.
For a second when I was reading your original post, I thought you said there's no basement/ gathering place in your apartment anymore b/c it got wrecked by the storm. xD So everything's OK? Except for the Tornado heading there.
