Fire & Brimstone

I wanted to know which you can live with, Fires and earthquakes,like now around my area ,we have several fires burning not too far away , my eyes are stinging and my voice is quitting on me, and to cap it we woke at 4-30am to an earthquake, 4.1    or the Hurricanes and tornedo's we experienced in Florida a few years ago, we were continually under a hurricane watch from June to Dec. also those horrible fire Ants that put you into the ER with shock.Sorry to vent its been a nasty weekend here ,But truly which is better to live with, and what kind of natural"Disasters do you all have to live with. ?

I prefer to only visit the areas with earthquakes and fires or hurricanes ... at least the hurricanes have a season ......... the earthquakes are random.

Hurricanes, as we usually have warning that they are coming.  I can evacuate before it hits. Fire ants? Those things are evil. lol

i'm from new orleans, a katrina refugee now flung from home.  and oh, do i miss it there... as horrifying as a hurricane is, the one good thing about it is that you get some warning of its arrival.

we deal with a lot of tornado warnings but not many touch downs, lots of flood warnings when it rains for days on end, sometimes Ive seen people actually use canoes up and down the flooded roads in my mils neighborhood.

where i live there isnt any threat of any disasters.I have been watching your fires on the tv,we have a lot of natural reserves here,but they are usually started by fire bugs.So i am very lucky here.

Yes I found the threat of Hurricanes worse I think, I 'll just stay here and put up with the smoke, felt sorry for the poor peoplewho lost their homes , and kept thinking of all the animals that get lost in a huge fire .
