^^^ I'm still having trouble sleeping after that movie, but the booze is helping.

Bush fires would be pretty nasty imho.

Tsunami for me. Seeing a 300 foot wave coming towards me would be the most terrifying thing ever - you're going to die and that is that.

Surprised that no one else has said this, but tropical cyclones are the southern hemisphere (and scientific) name for hurricanes/typhoons. Tornadoes are a different phenomenon.

Personally, I've been through a mild earthquake (more accurately, I was far from the epicentre), tropical cyclone, flood, severe thunderstorms, and blizzards (not sure about ice storms). There have been tornadoes near me, but they were at the other side of the county. And I spent a year working with a state fire management agency.
