Aibu to wonder what will May bring?
So far we had
January - Australia on fire and little bit of "Is that WW3 starting?"
February/March - coronavirus
April - coronavirus with added bonus of Chernobyl exclusion zone on fire
May - TBA

Let's take guesses. I predict Kraken awakening in May.

I think Yellowstone explosion will wait till December to end a year with a bang.

Omg We've had many plagues of lice here in the past too. I thought they might be the death of me. Too bad there's no vaccine for them.

I think the animal kingdom will start taking over the country soon anyway. There have been goats walking down the streets in Wales, bold as you like, sheep playing on children's roundabouts in parks. On the news last night they were talking about hedgehog numbers going up because of the quieter streets and not being squished by cars, not to mention the other critters. Heaven help us all.Shock

If we're going all apocalypsey, can we do it Good Omens style and have David Tennant and Michael Sheen?

bettybattenburg · 14/04/2020 20:12

Earthquakes and hurricanes too.

Im looking at my twins differently recently.

Born Friday 13th 2019
GIggle in their sleep.

At 4 months they're in 6-9 month clothes and growing exponentially like all the scary kids in things like Supernatural
Totally gorgeous to disarm people

I think they're going to get us.

OmgThereAreNoPlanesAboveMeNow · 14/04/2020 20:15

I asked for thread to be renamed into "2020 apocalypse planner - the year of Kraken, biblical plagues, zombies and aliens" Grin

@YouTheCat liked Good Omens. Feel free to crack on with itGrin

That reminds me. Please people. Watch all the kids named DamienHmm Don't trust anything they say! We don't need them butting in with all their dark powers

Krakatoa errupted the other day. Obviously that would be big news in normal times.

I’m expecting my first, a boy, in July - would love to avoid cycling through the Biblical plagues as I feel that wouldn’t end well for him Confused

I wonder if this is a year antichrist is being born, hence the mess, or the year he or she comes of age, hence the mess😱

@MouthBreathingRage You have to watch WWZ, dont let the tedious book put you off. Watch it again and again and again.

OmgThereAreNoPlanesAboveMeNow · 14/04/2020 20:25

@Applejaxx it would. Popocatepetl did too afaik.
I will add volcanoes to apocalypse planner next.

So what do you all reckon about June🤔😂

The footage of it going is awesome. Would have been all over the news and social media in normal times.

I agree that San Andreas is long, long overdue. God help Californians if that happens under Trumps watch, hes not exactly covering himself in glory is he?

I had an article notification flash up on my phone and the headline was "Iron leaking from earths core" and I thought bloody hell now what! But after further reading, it turns out it has been happening for billions of years so should be fine.

YouTheCat · 14/04/2020 20:33

Flooding in June.
Drought in July.

FilthyforFirth · 14/04/2020 20:41

This has been the thread I needed today. Outstanding work everyone.

I especially applaud the poster who is sacrificing her asthmatic DH. Hard times call for hard measures. No judgement here.

SleepingStandingUp · 14/04/2020 20:42

I wonder if this is a year antichrist is being born, hence the mess told ya, Fri 13th 2019.... I even gave them angel names!!!
