Have U eva been in a Tornado-Earthquake- or other natural Disaster?

I was in the tsunami in Thailand. I have been in a few earthquakes. I was in a hurricane a few years ago. That is about it.

Oh, yea, and i've been in a few blizzards too, coming from Vermont here. But i didnt think those were natural disasters...

Earthquake, I slept through it tho...

oh and do wildfires count? If so I've "survived" 2.

Earthquake, blizzard, ice storm....and two close encounters with lightening.LJS9502_basic

Haha, lightning.

Man, I recently had one ****ed up day not too long ago. We had this big nasty storm that hit. Anyway, I'm sitting outside smoking a cigarette, and there's lightning off in the distance. And it sounds BAD, but it seems a good way away. So I'm sitting there smoking my cigarette thinking "I wonder...does worker's comp cover me if I get struck by lightning right now?"

And I wasn't even being serious, I was just thinking about that as a joke. But I kid you not, 30 seconds later there was a blinding flash of light just to the right of me, and a huge BOOM that knocked me off my feet. I could literally HEAR the air sizzling near me, and all of the hair on my arms was standing straight up.

So then I was like, "um...yeah. I think I'm done with my cigarette break", and went back inside to work.

Man that was a crappy day. In addition to nearly getting hit my lightning, my car also got flooded out in the parking lot and our city got hit by a tornado (we NEVER get tornadoes).

I've lived in Florida my whole life, so I've been through many Hurricanes. From my experience, they're not that bad, and there's no party like a hurricane party. :P

And there was the time my friends and I were stranded under a pavilion in the parking lot of an apartment complex during the worst thunderstorm I've ever seen. That was quite an experience.

God has a cruel sense of humor

Living an San Francisco I see my fair share of earthquakes.

My sister lives in Japan tho and she says they get horrible quakes over there.
