Destructive force of nature...
Found these photo's.
A before and after shot of Joplin, Missouri after a massive tornado on May 22.
A monstrous dust storm (Haboob) roared through Phoenix, Arizona in July.
An aerial shot of the damage immediately following the Japanese tsunami.
A mother comforts her son in Concord, Alabama, near his house which was completely destroyed by a tornado in April.
Chile's Puyehue volcano erupts, causing air traffic cancellations across South America, New Zealand, Australia and forcing over 3,000 people to evacuate.
Cars are abandoned on Chicago's Lake Shore Drive during the "Snowpocalypse" in February.

Dis presies vir die rede wat hulle meeste van die groot storms na vroumense vernoem. As sy klaar is met jou het jy nie n kar, huis of boot oor nie!

Amazing how we live in our own comfort zone and underestimate the power of nature :!: And only when it affects us personally we re-act. Selfish...really

A 4x4 is merely a machine that enables you to get stuck further away from civilization.

Re: Destructive force of nature...
I remember that! A four-storey block of flats didn't, as far as I remember.
I remember travelling from Klerksdorp to Welkom one day when the wind blew. This created a sand storm of such intensity that visibility on the road was restricted to two or three metres at best. I had to turn back, was no use trying to travel further.
