OK some good shows were mention there and a few I am going to have to check out there, Ok dont have much time for today's question since I have to be to work early today so here it is.
Question #433 Have you every experienced a natural disaster? For example an earthquake, tornado, wildfire, flood etc.
A few months ago I was at my computer and I felt an earthquake, It wasn't bad for use cause the epicenter was quite a distance away but it was enough to shake the house. Funny thing was I didn't know it was an earthquake till I went to work and people were talking about it, I was drinking at the time and I though I just had a slight buzz. WOuld have thought that was the alcohol but that was only after one beer. Lol. I have also had really bad floods where I lived too lucky for me my house wasn't damaged it just was more of an inconvenience cause all the roads were closed so I couldn't even get to the store.

I've lived in areas that were hit with hurricanes and I've live in areas that have been hit with tornadoes. I can say without any doubt that I'd much rather deal with a hurricane than a tornado.

I've experienced an Earthquake in the middle of a test in seventh grade. But due to the archetecture of the school, I barely felt it.
I also have been in the middle of an earthquake in California, apparently. I wouldn't know because during the time, I was in a car for 6 hours.
No, maybe a really, really bad thunderstorm. I've experienced a derecho, though, had the power out for more than a week. I live in Virginia and, ironically, the only time I recall where there was a decent earthquake there, I was on vacation in California, a place were earthquakes are pretty frequent. So I missed an earthquake.
Well, I've had tornadoes that have hit down about a mile away from me and destroy some houses. I've also had some flooding on our land (but nothing destructive).. I actually kind of find it to be exciting when we get tornado weather here..
EDIT- Also, I suppose if you call frigid temperatures (below zero fahrenheit) or blizzards to be natural disasters, then we have those every winter..
Live in northwestern Missouri, and although we've had some terrible snow/ice storms (worst one in recent memory being 2007, that shut off the power for 3-4 days) & thunderstorms, we've luckily never been hit by anything truly devastating.
The last disaster we had that got national attention was a flood in 1993, but I was 2 at the time, so I don't remember it.

That was the reason I got a generator. After that, I really didn't wanna be disconnected from technology for that long ever again.

Hurricane Sandy. Good news I live more inland so I only got heavy rain which was drained away easy. Bad news the place where I work was flooded (as well as some train stations) so I didn't work for at least a month.
Wish the Wii U was released before Sandy or Sandy happening after but hey, you can't set a schedule for Mother Nature.

Last summer my office was evacuated because of a wildfire that destroyed almost 350 homes in that neighborhood. This summer my house (on the other side of town) was evacuated because of a wildfire that destroyed over 500 nearby homes - the smoke was unbelievable as we were evacuating, but fortunately our house was okay.
We get multiple tornadoes in my county most summers but they're usually small with minimal damage, and heavy thunderstorms are a dime a dozen except during droughts. And we won't talk about the blizzards which occasionally dump 3 feet or more of snow (1 meter) overnight. It's an exciting place to live! You can go to my blog (linked to my profile) and click on the "wildfire" or "lightning" links on the right to see photos I've taken of some of these things...
But at least we don't get earthquakes or hurricanes!
