What type of natural disasters affect the area you live in?  

I live in south Florida and we're getting close to hurricane season here. I prefer hurricanes to earthquakes and tornados because we have plenty of time to prepare for a big storm and, thanks to technology, we are pretty well informed about it's track and strength so we know whether it's safe to stay or if we need to leave. When I lived in Maryland a tornado came through...fortunately it didn't get close to my house...and that really freaked me out. I don't like the idea of having only a few minutes to get to safety. Stay safe.

i think the typhoon is was made me so afraid..
and also the floods..

In Georgia (U.S.) we get alot of tornadoes, hurricanes, and floods. Over the past years the activity has gone done alot though.

Here on our country, the most common natural disaster is typhoon, for the reason that we are located near the Pacific Ocean.Typhoons results to floods and landslides in our place.Am just glad we havent experienced any tornado or earthquake.Hope it wont happen on our country.

We only had hail and flood here but i live in a block so nothing effected my home jet. I guess i'd freek out the most if fish would start raining here. That happened somewhere in the world. Tornado picked up water and fish and dropped them somewhere else. That would be just crazy. But the worst thing that can happen i think is a powerful quake.

hi roxxtime, there are only two natural disasters that mostly affect our country that is El nino and La nina.. hehehe when it is El nino our country is very2x hot.. like now we are experiencing drought in our waters.. it very hot that i cannot think strait... and i cannot sleep at 12 o clock to 3 pm because of the rise in temperature,.. When it rains so hard here in our area it is also bad because of the flood....

There are many news now on my country Indonesia, which several times experienced big earthquakes and tsunamis. Indonesia s in the Equator line and consists of thousands islands, big and small, habitual and non habitual. These conditions make Indonesia on a high risk of earthquakes and tsunamis. Well, I am not good at describing facts, especially science.

I have never ever seen tornado in my life, but the stories I heard made me really scare it. I live in California and yes we do get earthquakes, but they are not yet too violent. But you'll never know what will happen tomorrow. The worst kind of natural disaster to me is a sandstorm. I lived in Middle East 8 years and I saw the extreme faces of sandstorms. They are horrible. One even threw our dish antenna from the terrace and broke an Arab's mercedes. It is good that he never found out that it belonged to us. We were foreigners there. He could easily force us to pay for the damage.

natural disasters like earth quake and landslide and thunder and lighting heavy rain and drought, all these severely happened in our places. all most all people have to suffer the result of these natural disasters. lost many people's house and agricultural areas and lost fertile land to barren.
