4. Oh hell, there's a storm headed this way now.

Is there such a thing as a fire-hurricane?

[getagrip_already]

6. a furricane? A hurrifire?

Is this a current event or something that already happened and ended?

[Haggard Celine]

10. I'm gonna be an optimist about this.....

[sarisataka]

7. Is that the plot

For Sharknado 8?

[Haggard Celine]

11. It's begging for a sequel.

Blackened seafood falling from the sky.

[JanMichael]

13. Got me. Laughed at the thought of that...nt

16. Maybe Elsa will put out the fire.

If not, just nuke her.

[Haggard Celine]

22. Yeah, a good old-fashioned nuke should take care of it.

Why have those nukes if we're not going to use them, right?

24. That's what TFG says and we know we can trust him.

28. LOL! n/t

5. Drilling for oil, and piping it from place to place, under the ocean, what could possibly go wrong?

[Phoenix61]

8. I hope they've evacuated that platform. nt

9. Again? nt

12. When the Cuyahoga River caught fire near Cleveland, it helped spark (sorry) the environmental

movement in the US. Maybe this will help wake some people up.

19. The Cuyahoga River runs throuh Cleveland.

Opposite side of the state from Cincinnati.

[tblue37]

20. My bad. Relying on old memory from 1969.

[tblue37]

21. Fixed it. Thanks.

[wnylib]

23. I lived in Cleveland just a few years after

the fire. Otherwise I would not have known.

[hatrack]

14. Gosh, things are just going so well lately, aren't they?

Still, nothing that a good dose of PR, greenwash and some oil executive blog posts can't cure, I'm certain!!!

[Blue Owl]

15. Not again!

WTF is wrong with these oil drillers -- can't they see they're playing with literal fire and their underwater wells (along with their land wells for that matter) are gonna ruin the food chain and the natural environment???

[FelineOverlord]

17. It's under control now

18. That's no small rupture! nt

[Mr.Bill]

25. Where is this exactly?

As a lesser of evils, isn't it somewhat better to have it burn off than spread and do more damage just by it's presence?

[magicarpet]

26. Is this something that happened on Venus ?

[PufPuf23]

27. Good that humans have never (as of yet) set off a similar uncontrolled

nuclear reaction that started burning up the Earth, no end in sight. That would be a disaster movie to literally end all disaster movies.

[Duppers]

29. We're killing our planet's life, yet...

there are still people who say, "just how are WE doing that?"

[smirkymonkey]

30. Wow, we are really going all out here to destroy the planet it seems.

Pretty depressing.
