Yep. Born in New Zealand, moved when I was one, came to America, lived in Missouri for a year, came to Texas. So I refuse to say "Ya'll" or "Howdy" (which by the way, most Texans don't).

Anyway, back on topic.

Re: Earthquake in Southern New Zealand

The biggest natural disaster I've expierienced weas a servere flash flood in July this year. Me and my family were driving home from a mall in Milwaukee when all of a sudden, it started raining REALLY hard, and then the water became 7 inches high. We made it home safetly, and no damage was done to my house. And right now, I hope Chrischb and his brother are okay!

Lucario and Riolu ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  smile

Hmph enjoy your fall - I get a lovely spring... without pans of new leaves.

Re: Earthquake in Southern New Zealand

It's interesting to see our amount of concern for other Scratchers :')
XD
Anyway, I've been in a hurricane before. But it was a wimpy one, so I hardly even remember it. (Then again, I was only around seven  tongue )

Kentuckians don't do much more than leave the "g" off words unlike some beliefs. XD

Seriously, the press picks IDIOTS when they show us on TV.

Is that sarcasm?

And we don't ride horses to school either.

Anyway, we need to keep this on topic. We don't want mods closing it.  neutral
