I'm trying to imagine what state of mindset it takes to laugh as nature's catastrophe destroys peoples' property... and possibly worse. It appears as though you likely have the means to quickly replace stuff that was damaged. Is it that simple? As for me, as I watched the same scene via your video, I was near tears as I realized the extent of damage likely done to a large area. I haven't read any reports yet... just this one post... but, I imagine there are many people out there who aren't laughing with you.
