@HaseosAtoli It's difficult to imagine anything, basement or whatever, surviving an EF-5. O.O

@HaseosAtoli Well would it have been worse if I was on the bottom floor?

[HaseosAtoli]

@MrShy125 You'd also likely be dead if you'd been in there.

[MrShy125]

I would be scared If I was in there by myself

This bank looks like it was made out of recycled paper!! Paper mache? Egg cartons? Bread boxes? Good thing no one leaned their bicycle against the wall it probably would have fallen through!! What happened to intelligent design? Uhhhh.....what does that mean? Uhh??
