What's the worst natural catastrophy you ever faced?

-For me, it was an earthquake.

mud.

5.9 richter... But i guess you can't really consider it a
major.
It is the most terrifying thing i ever experienced.
Since then, whenever there is a small one. i totally freak
out

"4" is freaky... But ok. I experience these quite often
where i live.
the scary thing, is that you can expect a bigger one after a
small one in some cases.

there were two big earthquakes (in time of four years) in a
region about 100kms away from here...and apperantly where i
live there's a high risk for that as well..hmm, still
nothing like japan or california..

why do some natural disasters have names and others don't?
they should really start to do this just to help us remember
them better. earthquake ernie or plane crash terry.

Do you live somewhere on this map?
'cause these are the main countries and places for
earthquakes in The Europe/Africa continent.

I dunno. A power outage? Those things feel horrific. I'm
positioned globally in such a way that nothing bad could
ever possibly happen to me. We're in a sweet spot.

We get dorky little hurricane tails, sometimes.

If everr the powerr goes out in my house I always get verry
frrightened. That's rreally the only negative effect
horrrrorr films have had on me. Oh and the rrandom
horrrrific killings I commit.

yeah... it's only the very south. Because these are only
the "active" quake lines. :)
But anyway, Quakes are bad. And nobody wants to experience
them :)

i went to Yellowstone National Park and smelled the
sulfurous bubbling mud cauldrons

I lived in Halifax during hurricane Juan. The residence I
was in was very tall, and the top floors were leaking like
crazy.

yeah, yellowstone's kinda depressing nowadays. the
explainations of every attraction now goes kinda like this:
the dragon's mouth geyser was really a beautiful site
until the earthquake of 1982 reduced it to a bubbling
fartpit.

of course the worst natural disaster of modern times could
come from Yellowstone too.

when i was little i thought it was called Old Fateful. my
whole family makes fun of me still.

in wisconsin we have bad snow storms occasionally, but i
love them. no school! but now that i'm older, nothing ever
gets cancelled. you still have to go to work, etc. it
sucks.

in 1993 there was a pretty bad storm here that left my whole
family stuck in our house for 9 days without power.

it was kinda neat at first romping about in the two feet of
snow, but after a few days it started to really suck. we
ran out of firewood and had to bust up some really old
furniture we had in the basement to burn.

my sister was in the girlscouts, and my parents had bought
schloads of boxes of cookies that they were planning on
selling to their co-workers. we ended up rationing them
shits out. i think that may be one of the main reasons i
still don't really dig on sweets.
