And now, in my fucking-with-maps series of images to go with "Pennsylvania is not just Philly and Pittsburgh, people", I bring to you my response to anyone who in the past week has had the nerve to utter any variation of the phrase, "Well, if you live in an area plagued by hurricanes, you're asking for this to happen to you."



In other words ... nobody should be living in this country, at this rate. Sheesh.

And before anybody jumps down my throat for the Mormons crack, that was mostly just to fill up space. What I should have put for my own amusement was "dead from dysentery."

EDIT: Now edited to include the possibility of global thermonuclear war, like all good maps should.

NEW EDIT: Fixed the map problem. GRRR to Photobucket. *shakes fist at them*

Hah, apparently Virginia and West Virginia are the only safe parts of the country. :P

Dysentery! Hee!

(Did you ever play to see how fast you could kill them all?)

But yeah, good map.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

I was going to put an arrow pointing to West Virginia that said ... well, "West Virginia," just 'cause. ;)

Not only is North Dakota/Minnesota in the tornado area, you also get the blizzards and the pleasure of living on a flood-plain. Let's not forget the flood of 97 and downtown Fargo burning.

Shit happens everywhere.

Mormons, bwah ha ha!

Looks like Maryland and West Virginia are safe. Score! Though in Maryland we've got the worst drivers in the world. And in West Virginia...well, you know those mountain people...

Oh, the Big Fucking Caldera block covers over to here, too.

"Oh my god, why would you live somewhere that would be taken out within a few seconds of that explosion?!"
"Because the rest of the globe would be operating under end-of-the-dinosaurs conditions and the living would envy the dead."
"..."
"HA HA! I'M ON THE WINNING END OF THAT EQUATION, SUCKERS!"

So what's the orange box along the top of Idaho and Western Montana? I've been looking at it, and all I get is potentional erupting Mormons.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

It's an extension of "Gets nasty debilitating blizzards every year," since that pretty much covers up the top half of the country. But I'm working with Paint, so you know, it ain't perfect. ;P

[welfy.livejournal.com]

I'm in the nasty blizzards section of Western PA. Wahoo!

Can I see your Pennsylvania map?

The desert has problems with fires.

Don't forget, the entire planet is also at risk for a devestating impact with an asteroid, meteor or other space projectile.

[strix-an-stones.livejournal.com]

ROTFLMAO!!! We live on the WVa line and have 70 acres there. Beautiful place, but so true. *snickers*

[nonniemous.livejournal.com]

OH, well done! Bravo! Er, but you forgot Tsunamis off the Northwest Pacific coast! *g*

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Sure, it's right here.

I get really sick and tired of saying I'm from PA and having people go, "Oh, you're from Philly?" when I'm from outside of Scranton, for Pete's sake. Hence, the map. :)

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Yup. I say we evacuate to Jupiter. I believe it's a balmy -185 degrees there right now. :)

[xerne.livejournal.com]

Heh. Good point.

[wer-bin-ich.livejournal.com]

Aww the nor'easters in Maine aren't all that bad! Living in the freezing cold without power for a week just toughens you up! hehe.

Today, you are my favorite.

I get that all the time, too!! And I've never been to Philly in my entire life. I have been through Scranton and Wilkes-Barre though. I live an hour northeast of Pittsburgh, about 5 minutes away from the Ohio border. That = NOT PHILLY!

People don't seem to realize how big PA is.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

People don't seem to realize how big PA is.

Or how small Philly is, apparently.

[lousy-timing.livejournal.com]

Just so you know, I always think of Altoona first. Don't know why that is, though.

[kijikun.livejournal.com]

All I can think of looking at the map is: "hey at least I told live near the mormons!"

[topaz08.livejournal.com]

LMAO! I'm moving from Tornado Alley to Desert and Stuff!!! Beautiful.

[cmstephens.livejournal.com]

I know I'm saying this partly out of self-interest, since I did live there for a while, but... No Hawaii? It's ultra-screwed, when you consider that it could be hit by hurricanes, volcanoes, and/or earthquakes/tsunamis at any given time..

(And then there's Alaska, which you could call "Frozen Hell"...)

Or, were you just sticking to the contiguous 48 states and DC?

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

I just did what I could come up with for the first map I Googled, I guess. *shrugs*

Although you certainly have a point with both of them. ;)

[minisinoo.livejournal.com]

ROTFL! Best damn answer yet.
