"The winds are 7 to 12 mph in Portland. Doesn't seem like a lot but observing by all the "delicacy" in my yard, it is rather destructive and stressful. I look up at the tall pines in the distance and listen to them shake, rustle, swoosh, and dance with only them knowing when they'll fall. It's just a matter a time before Mother Nature has the final words."
"It happens all over the world from time to time, natural disasters. It's just a matter of time before mass hurricanes, tornadoes, rising tides, tsunamis, earthquakes, wildfires, eruptions, flooding, extreme cold or extreme heat destroy human nature. "Man" thinks the world was made for them. How naive and entitled. On a small scale, I see all these complete worthless and total oblivious humans at work tossing cans into a garbage can."
Steady 7–12 mph winds in Portland cause delicate yard items to suffer and make tall pines shake, rustle, swoosh, and sway, indicating vulnerability and potential collapse. Natural disasters such as hurricanes, tornadoes, rising tides, tsunamis, earthquakes, wildfires, eruptions, flooding, and extreme temperatures threaten human environments on larger scales. Human entitlement and naivety foster disregard for ecological limits. Everyday behaviors like careless littering and idling cars with occupants contribute to cumulative irresponsibility. The aggregation of small negligent actions and ignored warnings increases the likelihood of widespread consequences and eventual environmental reckoning.
