Topic: Question of the Day II: #511: What 2014 release are you looking most forward too?

@CanisWolfred @Clay - Dexter's Laboratory: "I would like to buy your most expensive ice cream. With a million pennies, exact change back, please." That's my fondest memory of that show.

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.

My most recent one was a earthquake. I felt the house shake for a moment. That was all that happened though, not much of a disaster I guess lol.

Hurricane - check
Earthquake - check
Derecho - check

Not me, but my mom has experienced hurricanes and tropical storms. She used to live in Northwest Flordia.

Destructive Hurricane(s)
Major snow storm(s)

Superstorm Sandy hit my town pretty hard. A lot of people still haven't moved back here.

Thankfully, no.

Luckily for me, England is really boring when it comes to that sort of thing.

Nothing here.

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..

We get one or more hurricanes every year during summer. Fun stuff.

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.

Ya know dat huge power outage in New England that lasted for a week in 2010? i was there

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.
