We've had 4 tornados across the state today that, on a scale that was supposed to be 1-10, all exceded 10. They were 12, 15, 17, and idk the other. There have been 5 deaths reported so far. The worst one that rated 17, went just south of my city, and just exited my county.

And there's warnings/watches throughout the state. My area's under watch - we seem to get missed by the bad ones... hopefully that continues to be so, and hopefully Z's area avoids tragedy as well!
/me has modem + router on a 750VA UPS...
Wow... I'm supposed to be going there mid may to play in a golf tournament. Hopefully they slow down. Stay safe man.
Jesus...that's insane!

It did, but Tuscaloosa and Cullman have had major damage from the tornados that hit there. Thanks k0nane. Hope all goes well for your area as well.

Me too. I still can't believe we had this many tornados in one day here. And the fact that they were as bad as they were makes them even more unusual.

I watched these storms today, cause I live in South Carolina. This storm was massive. My condolences go out to the family's and people who have lost much cause of this storm!
I'm not sure what tornado scale goes from 1 to 10

They said that they had been using it for 3 years. Idk what it was called, but if it helps, i was watching ABC 33/40. I say that cause you might be able to find what that scale is on google if you are interested.

I'm glad things missed you. I'm keeping everyone involved in my thoughts. So far they have reported at least 32 dead from this storm. It is headed toward my area now, we're under a tornado watch at the moment.
Here's hoping for the best!
for anyone wondering, there was an F5 in Alabama, I believe.
EDIT: death toll now up to 64 and rising from one storm system. The rain just started here in NE Atlanta.
I'm feeling a bad weather year.. we've been getting tornado warnings/watches here at the beach, which isn't ordinary..

Alright well I had these opening on the side of my epic form dropping it so much and one day I had it in the bathroom while the shower was running and I think the steam killed the screen. it slowly "Faded to black" literally it took like two days lol. It's been two weeks and Im finally calling it quits and getting a new one. Im considering sending it out if anyone wants to play with it, if you fix it I may be able to buy it from you at a reasonable price. But my main question is, does anyone want it?
stop!
Just wannna make sure you know how assurion works:
1. report a phone as broken
-required to send in device
-100 dollar deductible
2. report devices as lost
-phone blacklisted from all further sprint services, bad esn
-100 dollar deductible
3. report device as stolen
-require police report
-100 dollar deductible
-black listed esn.
I have a screen laying around. I'll totally grab it from you and fix it. PM me if your serious buddy.

I have one of these too. But I don't have insurance since the phone isn't worth the deductible. Just bought another. And it was cool watching it fade.

Eh I think I toasted it now, don't dip your phone in 91% rubbing alcohol? Lol I figured I'd try it since I was getting a new phone anyways. Now theres a blotch of rainbow in the middle lmao. Thanks for the offer though.
I replaced basically my whole phone for 48 bux.

And, new screens can be had for $37.50.

On another note, I would love to take the phone, i'll even pay shipping!

How bad is this? Am I likely to get a better one if I RMA? I'm actually not terribly anal about these things, but this I can actually notice in daily use if my brightness is higher than 25 or so. First pic is 100% brightness; second pic is 10%.
Definitely.. I have a little on my status bar but its barely visible. That's ridiculous

I've been putting up with it for about a month but finally got annoyed enough tonight to take it into a dark room and see how bad it really was. Needless to say I was disappointed. Oh well. Will call to Rma tomorrow and will do my nexus 7 at the same time. It just won't even charge for some reason.
Pitiful google. You are alienating your most loyal customers with this $h!t.

Considering LG makes it it's more so them. In either case it's unfortunate you didn't do it earlier, I think Google handles it first 2 weeks whereas now you'll need to go through LG. Hopefully this isn't the case though as I'm sure it takes a bit longer.

wow that is pretty bad. i just have a bit of light bleed in the top right corner which seems to be a common issue and a tiny bit in the lower left hand corner.

Its almost completely fine, there is a tiny scuff on one corner (amazingly) anyway I was just asking in case there's anything I should worry about. The phone appears to be OK and has been used since then and is typing this, but I'm worried about any damage happening inside the phone or any damage to the battery. Will my phone be OK? Thanks

It's pure luck that your phone survived such fall. I think you should bring it to store and check.

Reminds me of the time I was out on my mountain biking and got cold hands so pulled my gloves out , at the same time my phone also came out.
Hit the concrete did at least 30 flips and slid across the floor 10 to 20 feet.
I walked over to it expecting the worst. There wasn't a single scratch on it . The case had stood up proudly.( cheap one )
Then I read on this forum that folks have smashed the back glass just by putting it in there jeans pocket.
Seems like some devices maybe have a better build quality then others.
We must be the lucky ones.
Also from the U.K maybe they ship better phones here . Ha ha
