Proof that Orange cabs are built like tanks

Tornado aftermath at a Joplin Missouri music store in 2011.

[eyeprod]

cool. Looks like they were used a couple of years practicing and gigging....still very useable, just a little beat up with a story to tell!

[everdrone]

true dat, totally useable   I love my Orange 212!

[Omlet]

OMFG...

Holy Shit

[RAGER]

Oh my heck!

[liquidsmoke]

Orange needs to start building houses! Your choice of orange or black exterior tolex and symbols instead of a street address over the front door.

Of course they would be $500,000 for 800 sq ft.

[JemDooM]

Haha amazing!

[Jake]

This is the point where someone points out that new Oranges are nothing like old Oranges, and an old Orange cabinet could have withstood a5x more powerful storm.

[RAGER]

No need to now.

Despite the overall burliness of those cabs, I'd say it was more a "luck of the draw" thing.

If they had taken a direct hit from the tornado, they'd have been turned into matchsticks.

I thought Rx couldn't see pictures.

Conclusions based on assumptions.

I thought Rx couldn't see pictures.

Not unless I click on 'em.

What can I say? I clicked.

[jibberish]

I have to agree. those could be stcking out of a telephone pole or something


however, that was dead center enough to dis-assemble a cinderblock building. look at all the block

here is the thing: certain objects are not as vulnerable to tornadic chaos

the less surface vs weight vs sealed volumes, the less effect a tornado can have on something

orange cabs have small lift to weight. no sealed volumes to explode. nothing to break getting tossed around vs a wall or something that just gets caved in or lifted away

so that type of object has a better chance of surviving chaos. hell there are roadies rougher on gear than that wimpy azz twister

[RacerX]

I'd also guess the air inside a closed-back cab with no ports would find a way to equalize pressure, most likely at the weakest point: the speaker cone.

[jibberish]

ya, like it's own pressure relief just by the cone being able to move.

if you watch the videos, air pressure inside the sealed buildings blows many of them up when the tornado makes its mini-vacuum nearby

or school busses. sure they weigh 5 tons, but they have such surface area, the wind force is enough to offset the gravity force and away they float. that one video of the busses from the security cameras at the school building was so freaky.

tornados are such a trip, that just air can do all that

im not sure what you consider a direct hit, but it looks like they sustained one to me. unless someone 'placed' them there for the picture..

[jibberish]

that dude in the pic by the cab and car is Swedish descent. I don't know why I believe this, but yeah.

[Danny G]

I would totally buy those as motherfuggin scratch n dent

He looks more Kraut to me.

[RacerX]

Kraut Swedes are the worst.

Except for those fucking Swedish Krauts, that is...

[jibberish]

he looks like buzzo too. heh
