Yes.
I was flying into Tokyo from Dallas-Fort Worth, and when I landed I found out that about an hour out of landing there was this huge earthquake over Sapporo in Honshu...which is about while I was flying over it... that was this summer...some of you may remember a little bit in the news about a couple dead in Japan due to the earthquake.
later that trip, I got hit by a tropical cyclone while I was in Manila, actually I was leaving Manila...heading back to the states and it hit...and the airport was unorganized so I sat in the blistering wind for about 2 hours...hooray...I wasn't the only one, but there was a big huddle of people just sitting there.
I also have witnessed a couple of Tornadoes in the area...here in DFW, and I remember seeing the aftermath of one... it wasn't too strong so it was HORRIBLE, but I was just like "whoa"...
I was also apparently in a Hurricane down in Houston when I was a little tyke, I don't remember...my parents told me we just sat it out at Embassy Suits while me and my brother played in the pool. I was too little to remember, and I'm talking about less then 5 years old here.
There was also actually a magnitude 5 earthquake right over my neighborhood... I didn't even feel it, but there was a big hoo-haa...it was literally beneath me, I've always wanted to feel an earthquake...and we don't get the often...every 20 year there is a small tremor no one notices... but this one was stronger...
And I left Hawaii right before some volcano blew, which was a shame cause I wanted to see some Lava alot closer then i had seen it at Volcanos NP.
As for living in Tornado Alley Mr. Brooklyn... I actually found that interesting... i didn't know that thx for posting
... remember things here are not as dense as NYC everything is closer to the ground and a Tornado is small so it only devastates a small area unlike a hurricane, but we have cellars, basements, and special buildings...and what not...it's not that bad, you could easily get used to it.

I wonder who Timothy McVeigh really was? did anyone watch "Arlington Road"?
