I lived in the Caribbean when I was a kid, so I saw several hurricanes. Our house was built to withstand the wind and rain, so I never felt worried too much. I remember watching a 30 foot tree snap like twig and roll down the road and huge puddles filling up with rain and a big gust of wind swish the water away...very cool. Having the eye of the storm pass over us was freaky because the wind changed direction after about an hour of relatively calm clear weather..."round two", my dad said. My job was to squeegee the water out of the house and bring my dad beer

I remember when Mt St Helens blew up too. It sounded like a dull, but deep thud.. even at 400 miles away.

I now live in an area that has earthquakes, forest fires, avalanches and the occasional flood, but they don't worry me because if it happens it happens, I wouldn't move away from here...I love where I live.
