Severe Weather
« on: April 29, 2014, 12:20:29 PM »



A display of all of the weather warnings issued yesterday, 4/28.

I'm shocked that we are still so helpless on our own planet.

No, not weather warnings, BizB.

That map specifically says "POLYGON WARNINGS".

My sister was taken by a heptagon. Since then I have devoted my life to finding the truth out there.

I'll start to worry once the polyhedrons start dropping.  Polygons lack dimension.

That's what makes them so dangerous.  Polygons, when they fall down edge-first, can slice through JUST ABOUT ANYTHING.
