That whole scenario really sucked. In the Midwest, we have an ice storm. But damn, to be an Asian right now. There hasn't been a disaster this horrible in a long, long time, and it seems people aren't as concerned as they should be. Good ol' American disconnection. Isolationism kicks ass, even in wartime.You must be logged in to add your comment. Don't have an account yet? Sign up for free!
