Have You Ever Been In A Natural Disaster?
We've had small earthquakes here in Georgia. There was a short but strong one 3 years back.
Being a Mississippian, I survived a good amount of hurricanes. One of them that I have a good memory of was Katrina (2005) when I was 25. The only place where there was shelter for me and the rest of my family was a retirement home where my grandfather lived and passed away.
During that time, which was a Sunday, it was full of elderly people that couldn't move and had no place else to go. Then on a Monday morning, the winds started to pick up and while they were picking up, I and many other young people helped the elderly because their rooms were about to be damaged and we had to move them to a safe place. Then the winds stopped and everybody was OK, which was a sigh of relief. While The Gulf Coast and New Orleans at that time took a pounding, my hometown was spared, and I was really blessed that I and my family were OK, especially the residents at the retirement home.
Katrina, for me, was one of the most scariest hurricanes I ever come across and I hope I never have to go through that again.
Nope, been very lucky.
A 3.8 Earthquake (I thought it was the garage opening lol) and 2 tornadoes. One of which took our recycle bin several blocks away. Nothing too serious.
Proud survivor of Irene (hurricane from 2011)
You're a survivor!

12 hurricanes. I have a love hate relationship with my hometown.
4 tornadoes. Ugh the midwest.
2 earthquakes. Cali sucks too.
There was a flood in Calgary back in Summer 2013. My friends house was flooded but my area wasn't. Good thing was finals were cancelled for the year.. :)
Mother F***ers I'm from New Orleans................... Do not get me f***ing started.... When you find a dead bloated dog with his belly bursted open covered with flies on top of your roof.......
I've been in a mountain eruption which although far from my city created an ash shower which messed up my roof and windows for a few days.
Yes, I have been in a hurricane/flood.
Our weather people would like us to believe we've had 2 hurricanes here in Denmark during the last decade... which to us who live on the west coast amounts to a little stronger than usual win, but nothing to get worked up over.

I think the problem in the USA is that their houses tend to be far more fragile than houses in Europe, so when a hurricane comes it tends to be a problem.
