For all of you who are unfamiliar with a comet collision, I will make this brief.

The comet with hit earth. Fragments may break off into the atmosphere, possibly causing multiple collisions. Six teratons, was it? Twenty-five megatons would flatten reinforced concrete buildings in a radius of five miles around ground zero. This would be four-hundred thousand times the force. And the worst they're worried about is a few tsunamis? It's enough to knock the earth from its axis. This tiny island, if not already obliterated by the impact, will be at the bottom of the ocean before it hits.

If we somehow do manage to survive the impact and its immediate after-effects, we can look forward to a post-impact winter. The comet should have enough force to knock enough dust into the atmosphere to make it bone-chillingly cold until the turn of the next century.

Classes will continue as scheduled.

I'm gonna make a prediction about this being one of the calmest, but also most terrifying reaction posts to this whole thing. I'll take bets.

Wait, no. Given this place that's probably not a good idea, right? Nobody bet with me.

[morsporta.livejournal.com]

We'll see if it follows through.

[choosefight.livejournal.com]

You think it won't?

[morsporta.livejournal.com]

Either way it's out of our control.

[choosefight.livejournal.com]

It's probably about to get a lot worse around here, anyway.

[morsporta.livejournal.com]

We'll see how desperate people can get.

WOW

[morsporta.livejournal.com]

You have quite a lot to look forward to.

[reanimated]

Yeah yeah I know. You've been through this before?

[morsporta.livejournal.com]

I have.

[reanimated]

And?

[morsporta.livejournal.com]

And what part would you like me to expand upon?

[detectivewonder]

I may have to ask to be excused, Sifu.

[morsporta.livejournal.com]

I don't tolerate such behavior.

[detectivewonder]

I won't be slacking on my practice. Depending on what's happening in the city, I may need a change of venue.

[morsporta.livejournal.com]

And what will you be doing that's so horrendously important?

[detectivewonder]

Keeping the streets safe.

[morsporta.livejournal.com]

You're an idiot.

[tenbeefsteaks]

Is that...

...I mean...

...okay! I'll be there!

[morsporta.livejournal.com]

Good.

[johannamason]

Cold's not so bad.

[morsporta.livejournal.com]

If we survive.

[johannamason]

I'm pretty good at that.

[morsporta.livejournal.com]

Did you know that they've evacuated all the government facilities?

[johannamason]

Sounds interesting.
