ONTD Original: And Now, The Weather - Natural Disasters in Movies

Hi, everyone! If you're on the East Coast / also in Florida, I hope you're prepared to stand against Hurricane Dorian.

• Have water; Enough to last for 7 days per person. Trust me, this shit can wipe out your water infrastructure for days. Fill your bathtubs and clean containers with drinking water. You may also need that to flush your toilet.

Lived in montreal during the massive ice storm in the mid 90s. Natural disasters are no joke. Stay safe Floridians and have a battery operated radio if you can so you are able to get up to date communication. During the storm we couldn’t access our car because there was a thick amount of ice on it and we didn’t have a garage and our power was down so we didn’t know where any of the shelters were until we had access to a radio

Omg that’s scary! But understandable, I would’ve done the same. I live in a small Ontario town now where we get slammed with snow and high winds every winter. This last winter was horrible. The winds and snow shut down literally every access in and out of the town for three days. I live alone and don’t know anyone there. I was so scared and ready to crawl out of my skin because I felt trapped. I had food but was running low so if it lasted longer, I don’t know what I would’ve done. Thankfully the power stayed intact so I had netflix lol

Don't eat all your hurricane snacks before the storm hits.

failed step 1

I'm totally bugging honestly. I keep calling my mom, who is fine but is mainly just relaxing which is helping a little but my snacks and cold cuts are how I've been distracting myself. I've also been stress sleeping. It's the waiting that leaves room to worry and be paranoid. it looks like we'll be ok where I live but who can never be sure?? All this WAITING!!

The storm will wreck my work week/hours so my end of september payday will be short but better that than my house gone honestly, which is also how I'm feeling about having to move all my dolls to my backroom because my cousin - if the need arises - is coming and bringing her cat and I'll be damned if any of my little expensive things get lost or eaten

I stress sleep too. Whatever works. Just hang out here, watch tv, whatever you can do while you have power. Hopefully everything will be ok! I wish we could do some kind of role call for y’all. Check in on ya.

one of my favorite "natural disaster" films: Earthquake, from the 70s.
and Sharknado of course.

Points if you don't mention Day After Tomorrow.

oh that's how it is, eh.

Natural disasters are my fav type of action flick - Twister (and Night of the Twisters? obvi), San Andres, 2012, any sort of volcano movie, Poseidon, Armageddon (to an extent... an asteroid is natural). Geostorm was fucking dumb though.

Geostorm was fucking wild.

same, and two of my favorite podcasts are about real disasters. 2012 is a godawful film but the cgi is so good

[arainymist]

What podcasts?

[delfintaka]

VERY Cute post and OP!

I have not seen any of the movies mentioned; what I am I doing with my life.

My fave disaster movie of all time is Dante's Peak. I watched it as a child and liked it for real, and then as an adult and really liked it becouse of how ridiculous it was.
