...on it’s way. What if any natural disasters have you survived?

I’ve been in a few earthquakes but nothing that caused any destruction.

I believe this is the second hurricane for Florida this year. The first was Charlie. There have been some close ones that just made it to a tropical storm.

Tornados and hurricanes seem scary. Earthquakes don’t seem nearly as bad.

<~~~~~~~~ Has been in a tornado. And just barely missed a hurricane. =) I’ve also been in a freakin’ heatwave/drought, and TRUST ME, Texan droughts/heatwaves are just as bad as any disaster 😛

I’ve been through a couple tornadoes which is not a fun experience. Sitting in your basement, sometimes sleeping in it, with your family can drive you insane.

I remember when I was a kid we were at the lake and it started raining so we left. About 30 minutes after we left tornadoes were reported in the area. I looked up at the sky from the back of the car and there was a purple, green, and black hole in the sky that looked like hell was descending. Little scary.

Chicago- Blizzards and a few tornados, nothing too close to my area though.

And Frances is a bad name for a hurricane, I mean a hurricane named Frances couldn’t possibly do much damage, it’s too close to “france” and we all know how wussy the French are. This hurricane will probably surrender to Florida or something.
