Meaning have you ever experienced earthquakes, flood, hurricanes, heavy thunder storms, avalanches, volcano eruptions, tsunamis in real life.

 

I remember feeling my first earthquake, it was Summer 2008 when I called my friend over to play the new PS3 I bought which he first showed me his and soon after I got mine, so I waited and rested on my couch in like 11 in the morning, I was about to go to sleep, then I heard a loud noise while my window shades were shaking like if there was a riot and people were knocking at my windows and doors, I jumped out of my resting position hearing and seeing something I never experienced, I quickly went to my mom's room and while I got there she was already out the door telling me to warn my brother and get him out of bed, we went to the closest door which was the kitchen and once we were out it stopped, my mom laughed and said I looked pale white, scared sh**less, I was really scared that I actually felt an earthquake for the first time, I think it was a 7.0 I'm not sure but it really startled me, then after that happened the recent years I always feel mini earthquakes and always stay frozen and not moving anything until it responds. Then I kept wondering for some funny reason in an online match, a dude with a mic just starts having a conversation or trash talking then all of a sudden an earthquake happens and then starts panicking and changing his attitude because of an earthquake.

I experienced two earthquakes in my life, once when I was in middle school which was around 2001 and the other when I was a lot younger.

When I was in Hawaii, apparently there was an earthquake while I was on a tour bus. I think someone said it was a magnitude 5. I slept through it though. So I didn't get to experience it. ;-;

Small tornado ripped through my neighborhood in late March 2011. The damage was minor, some fences got demolished and a stop sign was crooked. I'm pretty sure someone's grill was in their pool. Tropical Storm Debby in June 2012, no damage, just an hour long power outage. Most recently was Tropical Storm Andrea from a few weeks back, did absolutely nothing in my area.

Small earthquake a few years ago, as well as getting a s#it ton of rain from tropical storms that end up near Maryland. It got so bad one day that I got locked in from school due to a flood.

I live in NY so I've experienced Sandy technically, although it was nothing more than a strong storm in my area. Also a minor earthquake a few years back iirc. Nothing too serious.

I went through three hurricanes in Florida during the 2004 hurricane season. H. Charlie knocked out the power for one whole week and Florida is a pretty hot place, so you can imagine how I felt through with one week without power.

I experienced Hurricane Katrina after it had moved into the midwest. In June 2008, a tornado got within a few miles of my house. It went on to destroy nearby valleys, houses and buildings.

I experienced a hurricane once, I don't remember the name cause I was like 4, but I do remember asking my mom if I could go play in the "jumbo waves" and she said no so I threw a little hissy fit. I was a little B***h.

I was once known here as KillerMario, but since I really like Banjo-Kazooie, I changed my display name to show them my respect :)

I had a hurricane on my birthday last year, so there's that.

Hurricane Sandy in New York City. If it can be considered a disater, of course.

I suppose I'm lucky, I live in the UK we are an incredibly boring country, but wait! That's a good thing, the two that stick out the most for me was a mini Tornado in Birmingham about 4 years ago that managed to topple 3 houses and a very, very small earthquake that measured less than 1 on the ricter scale, that was about 5 years ago, I live right next to Birmingham in Solihull, my heart does go out to all those who are unlucky enough to live in certain deadly areas, honestly, I probably couldn't live there myself, I don't think I would ever be able to comfortably settle down.
