We need a global standard for tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, and floods.
It’s 2023, cmon.
Whoa, pal. Sounds like you want Big Government. Be careful what you ask for. Next thing you know, they be delivering food, water, and medical care as a so called “human right”. A government big enough to give you those things can take them away, too. No thank you. On this planet we die like men, without seatbelts or safety standards of any kind.
Holy fuck, I’ve been watching this go from less than 10, to 160, to 1000, and it keeps growing. This is a major.

The epicentre was in the High Atlas Mountains, 71km (44 miles) south-west of Marrakesh - a city with world heritage status which is popular with tourists.
It is believed that many simple mud brick, stone and timber homes in mountain villages will have collapsed, but the scale of devastation in remote areas will take some time to assess.
But such places are hard to reach, with mountain roads strewn with rocks and other debris, making access difficult for the emergency services.
The king ordered the armed forces to assist rescue teams, and Moroccans are donating blood as part of the national effort to help victims.
The UN said it was ready to assist the government of Morocco in its rescue efforts - and similar pledges have come from several countries including Spain, France and Israel.
