Wild Weather

[xRyokenx]

Well, glad to see you're back and in relatively good condition. It hasn't been the same without you here... Take some pictures of the ship and all that, it would be interesting to see...

For some reason I'm jealous, I guess I just like insane weather so long as there aren't any tornadoes or any other massive hazards to my life, like storm surges. It just looks cool to me...

Wow, that's gotta suck... at least it hasn't capsized or anything. Any idea on how they're gonna move it?

Its a coal ship so it has gaint coal compartments. At the moment they have filled the middle compartment with water to way the ship down so it doesn't roll. They are also moving the fuel oil off the ship and to higher compartments. Then they will empty the water and drag it off with two huge tugs.

We just had 1/4" hail here in Great Falls. Nothing to wierd about that, but I thought I would share a couple pictures taken literally right outside my door:

Another shot of the ship on the beach:

Wow--hope you don't mind, but I had to save that pic. That's just insane.

Another shot of the ship on the beach:

They are forecasting another big storm tonight with winds up to 120km/h. So here's hoping they are wrong and it's not as bad as last time and we don't get flooding again.

Yeah 10m high waves. They are saying the ship might break up scary stuff. Thank god I am on university holidays as traffic is gonna be hell tomorrow apparently. Don't think I am gonna get out of bed tomorrow.

Oh man, that's gonna suck big time if another does hit. I hope to high heaven you don't get hit again. On the bright side, I believe that if you get over the nasty stuff now, the universe owes it to you for there to be good weather, just like me and going through a lot of crap recently, it now owes me some really happy times. My beliefs are more or less hoping and not so much religious based.
