#1 Article: Some bars I went to the night before on the beach are completely gone,. All of the palm trees were flatted or removed. How is water capable of doing that?

Mother Nature is a mother - f*****. We live in relative comfort in spite of the capriciousness and danger from the natural environment. Germs, natural disasters, predators, extreme temperatures, lack of water - all were conquered by man. Note that most of the casualties were in the areas that were closest to nature, and thus furthest away from medical facilities, roads, et al. Don't let the environmentalists fool you - Mother Nature is a bloodthirsty bitch.

#2 How is water capable of doing that?
Simple, it has a lot of mass. Rule of thumb is that one gallon of water is about ten pounds. Have a friend throw a gallon jug of water at you as hard as he can. Hurt's, don't it? Now drop a 55 gallon drum of water off a roof onto your car, bet that 550 pounds flattens it.
See the same thing here in Texas everytime it rains, some blockhead tries to drive across a low water crossing and get's swept away. They say, "I thought I could make it, it was only a foot deep!" Yeah, but it was moving at twenty miles an hour. Lot of force there, proven every hurricane season. Water is the biggest killer.
