Ice eating a house

[Maggot]

This thing is moving fast!

"It's going right through their fucking house! You need to call somebody!"

That shit happens nearly every year on Mille Lacs lake.

It's a big lake and fairly shallow.

A strong wind will start blowing the ice and you've seen the result.

You should tell us these things ahead of time, you just never know.

[Cynical Ninja]

You have some fucking scary ass weather over there.

You don't experience extreme weather in the UK?

You don't experience extreme weather in the UK?

It happens sometimes (like the current flooding in the south west) but its pretty rare.

But ice doesn't eat houses, we don't get any hurricanes, tornados are extremely rare and feeble compared to the ones in the US, we get the occassional earth tremor but they are pretty feeble. We don't really get any extremes of hot and cold either.

Where I live its a few degrees colder than average and it can be a bit breezy but that's it really, not a single snowflake has fallen anywhere near where I live this winter. I have never personally experienced a hurricane, tornado, earth tremor, volcano, ten foot snow drift or tsumani and probably never will. The weather here is pretty dull but changeable sort of sums it up really.
