So, I have four 6 foot windows across the wall by my desk. I'm sitting there fucking with xenforo and I notice the wind is picking stronger than normal. I don't really think much of it, until the wind starts coming through the damn windows and blowing my curtains all over the place. I'm like wtf?

All of a sudden, a huge gust blows the window farthest from me down and it lands on my couch and shatters.. Scared as hell, I get up and go into the hallway, and within a few minutes of that, the one right next to my desk comes crashing down on top of my cpu. Fucking rain rushes inside my apartment like I can't even describe.. I see my cpu, hard drive, brand new $500 monitor, $200 headphones, etc.. getting fucking soaked.

So I threw on my motorcycle helmet and mx body armor and go in for the save... By the time I get all of my shit, it's pretty damn soaked, not as bad as I would've expected but still, wet as hell.

Luckily, some Nostradamus of a mother fucker posted this shit yesterday or I would've done the exact opposite of what I should've.

Too late now...maybe.....but for future reference.......anytime something like a Cell Phone, Ipod, Ipad, or whatever that's electronic gets wet.......TURN IT OFF IMMEDIATELY!!!!!!!!!
REMOVE THE BATTERY AS WELL!!!

Then if possible open up the case and use a hand held blow dryer on LOW HEAT to dry it out.

Then let it sit open OVER NIGHT or 24 hours before putting the battery back in and trying to power it up again.


Anything short of that and you chance SHORTING IT OUT due to the moisture on the components.

Of course, my dumb ass doesn't have renters insurance. Fuck. If all my shit is ruined (including my back up hard drive), I really don't know what the hell I'll do. I have my passwords and a few programs I keep on a thumb drive, and my tablet PC from which i'm writing this.

This fucking sucks.

Cool story bro.
 


Step 1: Get born with a birth defect
Step 2: Choose a stupid, disaster prone location to own a home (because you're a retard)
Step 3: ???
Step 4: Bitch on wickedfire when your idiocy comes around and bites you in the ass


Must be "niggers"/Obama's fault.
 
Damn that sucks man. Sounds nuts. I mean there couldn't have been that much rain to mess with your PC could there? Either way the rice shit sounds like the best idea.
 
I joke, I joke I kid I kid, If I offend I sorry, I did not mean

(srs)Sorry man, that blows - literally.

That's the craziest part... the rain and how it rushed inside like a damn vacuum. My desk is literally on the wall by the windows. We'll see. I doubt both my hard drive and pc got fucked... but it's a laptop so the water came down on top of the keyboard and straight into the computer, and the hard drive was thrown to floor.. that's the only reason I'm really worried.
 
If its a decent hard drive, it ought to be ok from being dropped. Many higher-end ones have sensors in them to protect the disk from falls.

It's cheap as hell, and I always refuse it. Lol.

This is my once in a blue moon catastrophe so no need for renter's insurance now right? I'm good for another five years bro.

^^ gets some popcorn for anticipation of thread's sequal "just went through a tornado bros Part II."
 
First of all, how in the fuck does wind BLOW your window down? Did thew windows not get fucking screwed/nailed into the 2x4's when installed? How does a complete window until just fall off the wall and down onto the couch?

Did you mean to say the fucking glass broke everywhere, or the whole unit just popped off the fuckign wall and fell on the couch. If not the former, you got a fucked up apartment bro and need to step up your game and move to a better built one.

Both. They are the windows that fold down from the top.

They are somewhat older apartments, but they are in a really cool, old, historic building, right in the best part of downtown. The farmers market is literally my neighbor, and I'm also next door to the coolest bar in town where all the college chicks hang out. Ain't no way I'm leavin.
 
^^ that makes a hell of a lot more sense. I have those windows too and didnt even think of that being the case though.

The real question though, do you bang any of those hot college chicks, or just leer from a far?

I gotta admit, it seems less and less all the time. The more I work, the less I get. I'm hoping the trend will reverse itself after some success, or else, I may have to reconsider my sig.:girl:


**EDIT the first part of it homos
 
Another Downtown getting hit with a tornado? Which city you in bro?

I'm going to start calling Bullshit next time I hear someone say "The only reason that there are more tornado damage is because there are more people and property."

This is the fourth downtown tornado I've heard of in the last few years, and before that it was completely unheard of for tornadoes to come into a city at all.
 
Hot Springs, Arkansas.

Previous home of Bill Clinton and Al Capone. The Rockefellers, Morgans, and a few others used to all come here as it was one of the main hubs for moon shine and gambling, and supposedly, they believed the water had healing properties. Idk, but I drink that shit everyday... I figure if some of the richest bastards in the world used to make an effort to drink it, I'll sure as hell walk down and fill up my jug for free.

Cool stuff here. In high school we used to go sneak into Al Capone's old mansion and look for his long lost treasure. You can still get into these tunnels that traverse downtown and there are still old ass cars from the fifties, or whenever the hell it was, down there trapped in time. Also, ran into Alex fucking Jones downtown about a year ago. Tripped me the hell out, nobody else even knew who he was.

I actually live just outside the scope of these aerial pics, I ride the shit out of those mountains on my enduro. This story just gets cooler and cooler bro.
