(11:43:44 PM) Luster: OMG, Cokes is going to make moonshine.

I was woken up by the Northridge earthquake in 1994. It caused a lot of damage in some areas, but I don't think anything major happened to me or my house. I think a few things fell over, but that was it. I just remember not knowing what was going on since I was 4 at the time.

I've also seen a few wildfires when driving around and such, but none that could affect me or my house.

EDIT: Of course, I also experienced many other earthquakes (including one epicentered just a mile or two from my house that really shook me), but Northridge was the biggest.

My town had a microburst when I was like.. 10 or so. It totally flooded my basement, power was out for a few days and there was a whole tree balancing on our powerlines when it was over.

There was an earthquake during my television production class in seventh grade. At home, some stuff fell off the TV and landed on my PS2. Luckily, the PS2 was unharmed.

Er, wtf am I saying, you aren't Zazi Guado. Strike my last.

OK, well I was there for that hurricane trio here in Florida back in 2004. Wasn't so bad but I was very poor at the time so we had no AC for a week and a half, augh.

Yeah, I don't even know who Yuna is! The fact that I have never played FFX might have something to do with that!

Oh yeah? Well, I don't even use air conditioning in my house! Even when it was 110 outside one day!

Earthquakes.

Northridge was sick. Completely destroyed the building next to where I lived. Knocked every single thing out of the cabinets in the kitchen. Killed my pet fish.

Since the NW isn't tropical, we don't get Hurricanes or TSs with names, we just get giant-ass winter storms that are like cold hurricanes. There was one a few years back when I Iived in Astoria still that destroyed a bunch of stuff and took out so many trees. We were designated a disaster area. So yeah, giant storms no one cares about because they're not named.

I felt the Seattle earthquake in 2000 or 2001, but it wasn't bad here.

I also lived through a massive windstorm + flooding across Oregon in '96. No power for over a week!

Well, I was near the Seattle earthquake in 2000. That barely qualified as a natural disaster really. The pacific northwest is awesome for natural disasters, it might be one of the safest places in the world.

I've been really close to a tornado before. I didn't see exactly where it touched down but it was like a mile away and my (parked, thankfully) car got messed up pretty badly by baseball (no exaggeration) sized hail.

And I guess paltry earthquakes.

No problem!

katrina, and I think another hurricane when I was too young to remember it

nothing else, though

KrahenProphet and Kana are on opposite ends of the Awesome Spectrum.

numerous floods, a hurricane, and a windstorm. technically two hurricanes but the second one did basically nothing, the wind storm actually caused by far the most damage knocking power out for almost a week

One of these tornados went through my yard. One of the pine trees in our backyard was uprooted. Five more were literally snapped in half and the upper halves dropped in the yard. These were full-grown trees. Luckily damage to our house was limited to the shingles being ripped off.

Hey they spotted one on spencer's butte last summer!

Which is only like 4 miles or so south of Eugene and one of the really popular places to hike.

I slept through the Northridge quake (about 30 miles from the epicenter).

Alright, so I was only 1-year-old, but it's the only natural disaster that I have "experienced."

EDIT: I guess hurricanes. However, by the time they get to me they're usually pretty weak.

been through tornadoes when I lived in Georgia, and hurricanes since I moved to Florida. not exactly fun, but didn't really have any personal damage beyond losing power/ a tree from the hurricanes.

RayDyn on his Droid, probably at work.

Yes.

While on vacation last year, I felt that small east coast earthquake.

When I got home, the hurricane woke me up from my sleep.

After that, there was flooding, but not that much.

And there was probably a big snow storm at some point in my life before then.

SuperNiceDog has won.

I lived in eastern Iowa during the 08 flood. Also quite a few tornados and a blizzard just about every couple years (I don't even count those as disasters).

They're not scary at all though, it's actually fun being outside during a blizzard, well unless you're like lost somewhere, then I guess it's not as fun.

This F2 tornado was about a mile and a half from my house, that's probably the closest I've ever been to one. I remember I was playing Chrono Trigger when mom rushed in and told me to get to the basement immediately, sirens were going off and everyone in the house was panicking.
