Current Events > People who live by the sea or ocean are so lucky.

(+) Yeah! (+)

They can basically swim, bodyboard, surf, sunbathe or just look out over the water whenever they want.

No they can't.

And get rekt by hurricanes.

Go away

Being near Lake Michigan is pretty damm nice during the summer, not going to lie.

It probably would be really nice if beach towns weren't all overpopulated

Yeah...

Boy do you need to see how much work goes into fighting roach infestations at beachfront property.

Only on the east coast. California is a paradise that never gets them.

They always have nice weather, too.

and then watch their house sink into the ocean in 10 years because of the rising sea level

4 out of 5 cougars prefer to live near water

Well the city of Los Angeles isn't too far from the beach. So I can do all of that after a 30-40 minute drive.

But most of the houses on the water front are $2 million+ for anything decently sized. I wish I had that kind of money >_>

How many more alts you gonna bring out before you go outside and touch some grass

not if most of the buildings are made out of some thick concrete like in okinawa. been through so many typhoons in my 14 years of living there and the worst outcome was 3-day-long power outages. that said I know some of the older folk there live in very fragile-looking houses in isolated villages which i assume is where most of the death count happens (outside of people being outside during typhoons)..

i remember seeing a video of a photographer being swept by a rouge wave a few hours after a typhoon had just occurred. he was sitting on top of a coral. cliff. video has been deleted since then.

pretty sure it was typhoon jelawatt. https://www.deccanherald.com/content/282257/powerful-typhoon-kills-two-hurts.html
1 killed in okinawa. 1 killed in japan. i used to have the video saved on an older pc but sadly its gone. the waves didnt even look that rough at first.

As someone who lives close to the sea, that shit is fucking cursed. I'm staying on land thanks.

Not in a couple of decades.

that's hot

oh nevermind i found a site that has screenshots of the video im talking about

also i got the man's hobby wrong. i thought he was a photographer but he is an angler.

here is right before the man got swept by the wave and then when he got swept. see the bottom right.

Michigan's summers in general feel amazing, I've been to most states during then but MIs was among the best in my opinion.

It took 20 years to get banned? That's kinda a sad tale, of a dude who wasted his life on an internet forum for 2 decades and to ultimately just get banned for it

once was a 6-7 day power outage. boring as hell. had to rely on food donations and cold taco bell bean burrito's.
3 nasty storms back to back in 2007 caused that (fueled by typhoon remnants).

End goal for me is NE coast, considered Maine for a long time now.

i should just move to Jamaica and live out my days there. no more winter.

If that ocean you live by is in Alaska, you don't get most of those things very often. At least not at comfortable temperatures.
