Natural Disasters

[Hippopo]

When I lived in Hawaii, I remember we had a tsunami scare, but it never hit.  In Montana forest fires are the major threat.  Currently we're swamped under a giant cloud of smoke due to fires.  This picture was taken right outside of the town a few days ago:

I kind of find them beautiful....

We also get floods and the occasional weak earthquake, but nothing major.  I guess we get multiple avalanche kills a year as well, but I've never seen one.

well the recent earthquake, floods in the past and are probably going to occur again here in the next few days, and hurricanes

dat 1998 ice storm

[YPrrrr]

I was in a tornado zone before... the sky turned green and everyone had to head to the basement, but I never saw it and it didn't hit very hard or in our immediate vicinity. That's about it though

A lot of tornadoes and accompanying freak hailstorm conditions in MN, that's it though.

And massive blizzards if that counts.

well the recent earthquake, floods in the past and are probably going to occur again here in the next few days, and hurricanes which you somehow forgot

LoL oops

And I experienced a couple of them too.

[Samus Aran]

i've had several tornados nearby, but never seen actually seen one with my own eyes

driven though a couple floodzone areas but that was only seeing the aftermath, not seeing it actually happen

so i guess i'd just vote tornados

[Nyerp]

i have never been in contact with a "natural disaster"

An earthquake, which was not more than the slight tremor we experienced a few days ago.  I don't even think that counts.

[don't let's]

Drought that lasted years, couple ice storms, tornadoes but nothing real major or particularly close, some small earthquakes, hurricanes but nothing that really affected this far inland, and I think there have been some forest fires in places that far away from here.

Tornado.

During the outbreak in the spring.

[Andria]

Tornadoes though I haven't seen them

hit by a couple hurricanes through my life

earthquakes, forest fires, and whatever else I clicked happened too

[?????]

Earthquakes because I live in California.

[applesauce]

I've seen maybe 4-5 tornadoes in my life. Nowhere I've ever been has been hit, though there have been several pretty close. In 2009 several tornadoes beat the fuck out of some blocks within a mile of my house, but we were good. Have had trees go down (and crush our car) to straight line winds. Also damaging hail, streets/freeways flooded over 6 feet deep from super rain.


But never any serious disasters. Like I said, other than some closeish calls, all we've ever had was my mom's car being crushed, losing some trees, and some minor basement flooding.

This was less than a mile from my house, and happened regularly. I've actually been planning on exploring that drain sometime soon.
