Boulder to the Bedroom!

Hopefully this wasn't anyone on the forums but I heard about this incident this morning way out here in Cincinnati Ohio!

Looks like Old Wyl-E-Coyote was hard at work with his Acme Boulder Launcher! Definitely a rude awakening!

Houses being built where perhaps they shouldn't...

Not that they shouldn't be built there, it is a nice area below the mall and easy access to everything. It needs to be put into perspective though. How many house are built on the cliff edges, and how many are built at the bases of the cliffs. Few thousand at least just here in St. George. I've been here for 15 years and this is only the second time that I remember it ever happening. Better chance that home burns down than gets hit by a rock, so using that logic everywhere is a place that a house shouldn't be built. How many homes in the last 10 years have been flooded in St. George. Probably 200 or so. It is just bad timing and luck, such is life sometimes

New meaning to.... getting pounded in the bedroom. :lol8:

Typical of society nowadays, that when the renters of the home were interviewed, his response was "what is the city going to do so this doesn't happen again?". Way too many people are wanting the government to protect and take care of them.

Funny!

All I could think of when I heard this story was that there was some guy trying to dislodge a big rock to use in his garden and he got more than he bargained for.
