You think that's bad? Some dickheads next door set off fireworks and hit my car. There's a ding in there the size of a golf ball, that poo poo'll never come out.

That's the kind of explosion that condemns a whole lot of the outlying buildings as well.

I wonder how far away from the blast people's windows got obliterated. Even if your house/apartment is intact and not completely leveled I can't imagine just having every piece of glass around you spontaneously explode.

cda posted:I would be making GBS threads. heh. I would calmly and coolly regard the incoming shockwave over the top of my Blade shades, go "not today, Satan," and as the blast wave touched my body you would all realize it wasn't me but a log wearing my clothes. I am already in the basement, safe and sound thanks to my kawarimi no jutsu.
