Yeah earthquakes don't bother me. Tornadoes do the most. Hurricanes are the best in my opinion, because you have days notice so you can leave town if you want. Plus, if your structure is built well, you'll have no problems.

Having spent 18 years growing up in Ohio- Tornados can be devastating.


Imagine you are out enjoying the outdoors - sunny day - and within a half hour you have rain, thunder, eerily calm then golf ball sized hail and the most powerful winds you can think of. Very strange.


I saw a town completely devastated by one- buildings completely blown away, a school taken out, houses completely rotated on their foundation. Signs displaced miles from their original spot.
