    i think it all turn out to a be a police state city and the "looters" have to start a underground faction againest the police and re-claim the city as their own. Then finally the looters win the war and push the police back...soon the looters will find the nuclear war head under the city, foolishly the citizens of the new built city now with nuclear atomic bomb power.. destroy america's capital to take over the country by going from city to city recuirting members to join them. stay tuned for the rest of the story. i might write a book

    You never hear of any Inuit settlements getting decimated by hurricanes.

    Sure, you say that they don't live anywhere near the tropics but I say it's more to do with aerodynamics and the low centre of gravity of an igloo.

    Ah, but they would get decimated by a heatwave...

    It's all in how hard you freeze the snow and ice. If you do it right, the breading will crisp up nicely without melting the igloo at all.

    No time to work out? Try Folding instead.

    I will be interested to see how they rebuild.....if they comply with their floodplain ordinance and their mitigation plans. In order to be a member of the NFIP (National FloodPlain Insurance Program) they would have had to pass an ordinance which sets very strict, expensive-to-comply with regulations for any new structure build on a floodplain. The City's Mitigation plan, which is an addendum to their Emergency Preparedness Plan lays this out and even states they are responsible for maintaining any levees. FEMA would be responsible for overseeing compliance of these ordinances, though. By the time they rebuild......FEMA may be long gone. ;-)

    things are quiet until hitler decides he'd like to invade russia
    so, he does
    the russians are like "OMG WTF D00DZ, STOP TKING"
    and the germans are still like "omg ph34r n00bz"
    the russians fall back, all the way to moscow
    and then they all begin h4xing, which brings on the russian winter
    the germans are like "wtf, h4x"
    -- WW2 for the l33t
