Four things I've learned this year: 1) don't have pet cobras; 2) don't drive through lion enclosures with your windows down; 3) don't get in the water with sharks; and 4) don't dive into a lake where there's a sign that says, 'Alligators, Do Not Enter!'Jonny Mnemonichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06516458612879773986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4388504906915444063.post-76346221614191458252015-07-19T10:42:48.895-05:002015-07-19T10:42:48.895-05:00Hey taproot, great story!

Please let us know if there is any follow-up to this (or even how long it takes for them to renovate - or close up shop). There was a "suspicious" fire at a relatively nice, stand alone restaurant right on the main road in my town around 3 years ago and the place sat vacant until about two weeks ago, when we noticed the building being torn down and construction fencing put around the site. <br /><br />Similarly there are vacant businesses and lots sprinkled all up and down the pike (main road) all the way down to Philly (about 25 miles). One place has had a "coming soon" sign in front of it for so long it was laughable - like 7 years, before the sign was in such bad shape, it was removed. Nothing since, place remains vacant. <br /><br />Couple mid-day stories:<br />Flash floods wash away buildings and vehicles in Wickenburg, Arizona <br />http://www.sott.net/article/299181-Flash-floods-wash-away-buildings-and-vehicles-in-Wickenburg-Arizona<br /><br />Up to 3,000 home and businesses were left without power as more than 50 electricity poles were knocked down, according to the Arizona Public Service. <br /><br />Confused Australian animals struggle to cope with freezing weather <br />http://www.sott.net/article/299179-Confused-Australian-animals-struggle-to-cope-with-freezing-weather<br /><br />[this is really bad, and so sad]<br /><br />Roads closed in snow-covered Eastern Cape, South Africa <br />http://www.sott.net/article/299178-Roads-closed-in-snow-covered-Eastern-Cape-South-Africa<br /><br />Waterspout filmed in Virginia Beach, Virginia <br />http://www.sott.net/article/299174-Waterspout-filmed-in-Virginia-Beach-Virginia<br /><br />Waterspout spotted offshore in Sarasota, Florida <br />http://www.sott.net/article/299173-Waterspout-spotted-offshore-in-Sarasota-Florida<br /><br />85-year search finds massless particle with promise for next-generation electronics <br />http://www.sott.net/article/299169-85-year-search-finds-massless-particle-with-promise-for-next-generation-electronics<br /><br />[heh, too bad there won't be anyone around to use 'em]<br /><br />Surfer attacked by shark, punches it in the back<br />http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/the-turnstile/surfer-attacked-by-shark--punches-it-in-the-back-141444813.html<br /><br />TomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4388504906915444063.post-81566011585497028772015-07-19T09:26:41.783-05:002015-07-19T09:26:41.783-05:00Wow the pics are something!

Tell the insurance company to send out an adjuster and see how it works out (hey, at least THEY'LL be paying for it)!<br /><br />Lots more fires (and larger ones too) in populated areas now.
