UGH....hurricanes do some damage, but not like tornadoes!!  I guess I'd take a snow storm to a hurricane anytime, too.

I've not experienced a hurricane. I have been very close to tornadoes (and one time my Dad and his best friend had to literally run for the lives from one while golfing.)

Yes both tornadoes and hurricanes are frightening, but for me there is something absolutely unnerving about earthquakes. The ground (aka Terra Firma) just isn't supposed to move.

One time during a round of golf with a friend the birds suddenly went silent. I heard a soft rumbling that quickly intensified, and I looking back down the fairway I saw the wave undulating towards us; when it reached us it knocked me to my knees.
