what natural disaster are you afraid of?

i'm freaked out by earthquakes. i remember the 90's quake that prompted the mt. pinatubo eruption here. aftershocks followed and i remember rushing from the third floor of my college's building faster than anyone. actually, i was the only one. turns out that it was only the student sitting behind rocking his feet against my chair. still, i'm freaked out by it knowing what happens underneath us when earthquakes occur. so much so when i know that the ground may open up and houses and buildings may collapse. i remember when my child was a few months old only. it was the middle of the night and i scooped him up at once ready to run out of the house even though they say not to do this. i'm not going to wait for what would happen inside the house with my child.
