This past weekend, the U.S. Midwest was struck by some really nasty tornadoes. As tornadoes will do, they caused some very bad destruction in the areas and some even lost their lives. Tornadoes are pretty scary and they can destroy everything you have in just seconds.
As usual, in the aftermath, you could see people digging through the rubble that used to be their homes in an effort to salvage whatever they can. Sometimes that isn’t much and it is pretty heartbreaking. But if you just bought a PS4 and at least that survived? Well, that would at least be a bright ray of sunshine in an otherwise terrible outcome. At least you have something.
That’s what happened to this gamer. The house is gone, but his PS4 survived intact in its box. Yeah, things still suck, but that’s got to help you feel a little better.
Now all he needs to do is hope it doesn’t have the blue pulse of death when he fires it up.

Tornadoes ripped through the Midwest of the United States earlier today and the damage it left behind is absolutely tragic. These pictures of Washington, Illinois, the worst area affected, show how a community gets shredded by natural disaster. The path is violent, the ground is scarred and the homes are just gone.

Redditor HepatitisC posted this photo taken from his Facebook feed: "He lost his house in the tornado yesterday but there’s some light at the end of the tunnel…the PS4 survived!" Obviously, he can only be so happy if he has full home insurance.

LEGO Sharknado: Enough Said!
Posted in: Today's ChiliLEGO master Iain Heath rides the gigantic Internet wave carved by SyFy’s too bad to be fake Z-movie. Really though, concepts like that should only come from a child’s doodles and never go beyond this level. A LEGO toy. Perhaps a web comic. Maybe an animated short. It could work as an online series. Oooor…
Yeaaaah no. This is enough for me.

Live in Tornado Alley? Just generally afraid of being swept away by a cyclone? You may want to cast those eyes in the general direction of the La Crosse 810-163TWR weather alert radio. The walkie-talkie-like device is up to all of the NOAA standards, tuning you in to national weather alerts. You can set an alarm on the gadget that’ll turn radio alerts on any time there’s a national disaster. New this time out is a devoted tornado button. Click that and it will only trigger when faced with that specific disaster. The device is due out in April and should you around $50. Sadly the unit present here at CES was just a dummy, so if there are any tornadoes in the area, we’re all out of luck.

Italians. Good at pizza. Not so good at tornadoes. Just watch this video and judge by yourself. More »
