Natural Disasters

[Andrew]

Have you ever been in a natural disaster? (Meaning, have you ever been in an area where a natural disaster is happening and it was affecting you or your house/town).

 

[ShootingfortheMoon]

Hurricanes, floods, and minor tornadoes is pretty common where I'm at. Florida (least the part where I'm at) creates a bad habit of being a sunshine state, then pouring down rain out of no where.

I've never actually been affected, but my area/town has been by some tornadoes a couple years ago. Ironically, we're supposed to have some tonight too.

We get bad hurricanes and blizzards here. And when we get thunderstorms, our house is constantly the main target. RIP everything plugged into the wall when lightning hits </3

Hehe, that picture reminds me of my holidays to Walt Disney World. Last time, it was really nice in Hollywood Studios, but as soon as we got on the bus back to the hotel, rain came pouring down from nowhere.

We haven't been in anything major, but we have had a flood and a very small earthquake. Those and rather bad storms in recent years.

Yeah, I live right by the areas that were affected by the tornadoes in 2011 the fact that their is supposed to be severe weather tonight really has a lot of people freaked I'm hoping everything ends up okay.

I live in Alabama as well and we deal with (and I've been through) tornadoes, floods, and hurricanes. then in a rare event blizzards, there was one here in 1992.

When I thought of Earthquakes, I'm sorry, but I couldn't help but giggle at the newscaster's face on the right.

I live way up north so really bad blizzards.

 

[Thrill]

Blizzards, a small earthquake that was centered far away, and I checked off hurricane even though I've only been through tropical storms and a once-hurricane-now-"superstorm."

I live in Alabama too! Auburn right now, but I'm originally from north of Birmingham

 

[SillyMcDoodlebop]

I live way up north so really bad blizzards.

Illinois isn't way up north. xD

I'm pretty much in wisconsin so we get blizzards, flooding in the spring because of the blizzards, and we get tornadoes.. I've only been personally affected by one tornado but quite a few blizzards and flooding.

 

[Foustketeer]

Being in Arizona, we don't get much of the natural disaster type weather. Although we did have a pretty heavy snowstorm last year that I had deal with driving through. It's not listed, but I would've listed torrential downpour as one thing I've been through.

 

[Chill]

DC area is hardly affected. The worst I've ever lived to experience was a low scale tornado/low scale earthquake.

 

[PIGGIESARECOOL]

,-, i had to run through a hail storm. i was in like 3rd grade and my parents werent home so they called me and my brother and so we had to run across the street to our neighbors house... by the time we got there, it stopped hailing. #thanksmom <3

 

[UltimateKong]

Well I'm from Cali so all we really get are Earthquakes, at least in the part I'm in.

LOL! I think that's true statewide.
Though its been so hot I'm really feelin' for the park-goers.

I've gone through severe winter weather/tornados in Ohio, and tropical systems in Florida. Thankfully, I have yet to experience any dangerous flooding or wildfires. My heart goes out to anyone affected by natural disasters.

Earthquakes in California drive me cray cray lol. Especially where I used to live :O
