Rain, rain and more rain.  Rain enough to have mud slides and trees down because the soil around their roots has washed away, and flooding and rain, rain, rain.\n\nWe suffered through it a few years ago, and it sounds like we may suffer through it again this winter.  Sometimes I feel like I am going to grow moss between my toes.

yes, one day when I was three I went to a garden were you can buy flowers with my family.I was just walking around when I saw a pond that looked like a puddle.I thought I could walk over what I thought was a puddle.When I stepped into the pond (which was 4 feet deep)I was suprised when I didn't feel the ground,I fell into the pond and had almost drowned I screamed to the top of my lungs and my dad saved me.I remember crying with my jeans soaking wet. My mom was so worried that she held me all the way home even when I was soaking wet.\n\n\n\n                                            The end

My son and I went fishing one day in a canoe. He was in the front of the canoe and as we came around a bend two deer jumped into the stream right in front of us about 20'. They didn't see us until we were about 10' from them. My son looked like a hood ornament on a car, completely frozen in his seat. The deer went into a panic and tried to scramble up a bank on the opposite side but only succeeded in falling over backwards back into the stream. My son and I both laughed and the deer finally made it up the bank and ran off. All through the rest of the day, no matter where we cast our line, we caught fish. It was a magic day for us.

I married my high school sweetheart b/c he got me pregnant. Not only did I put myself in a dangerous situation (he is a very violent alcoholic) I put my precious newborn in the same situation. It took him almost seriously injuring her to make me realize that a broken home wouldn't be the worst thing for her, but growing up with a father that might get too angry one day and kill you would be.

Not really.  To some extent or another, every state usually has some sort of natural disaster you'd have to worry about at one point or another.  You do realize, of course, that the safer states are the ones with the natural disasters that don't occur very often... and yet, when they DO occur, it's for major damage?\n\nBesides.... if you wanted to live some place where there's it's completely safe.... then it'd be in Alaska.  I'm fairly sure there's areas up there where you wouldn't have to worry about too much snow - but then again, there have been earthquakes up there...  never mind.  I don't think there's any place on the EARTH where it'd be disaster free, unless you want to live in a deep cave protected against outside elements in the center of a tectonic plate.......!\n\nBut, you know, I used to live in Michigan, and we never had to worry about mudslides, volcanoes, avalanches, wind storms, tropical storms, hurricanes, earthquakes, or droughts.  Sure, we had the very occasional hail storm, very VERY occasional wind/ice storm, and every winter we'd get a nice snow storm sometimes a blizzard, and lightning storms were normal, but not very severe like down south, occasional floods... and twisters/tornadoes were not unheard of, either.  But nothing like in Kansas!  ... But I did see a couple there.... \n\nAnyway.  Just so you know, there's always something that can happen anywhere....

I am very scared!!! We had an article in our local paper a few weeks back about all the what ifs. I was very shaken by it. All the talks of millions dying and mass graves. Who wouldn't be scared. I have a son with asthma and they said the ones to die would be the elderly and ones with weakened lungs. I hope it never makes it here. It it does I already said I will shut up my house and my family will not leave. I will wear a mask to get fodd or thingsthat need to get done but my kids will not be casually infected.

Have you ever heard the expression, "Don't put all your eggs in one basket"?  The same idea applies here.\n\nThere are any number of natural disasters that could destroy our way of life (meteor strike, multiple massive volcanic eruptions, a global plague, a nearby supernova), and they are virtually undetectable until immediately before they occur - even if we do detect them, the likelihood of preventing them is only a likelihood, not a certainty.

First of all, children get hurt... that's what happens. Second of all, speak to your Congressman and Senators. You can find them at the sites below.

None. I have five kids, a husband, a cat, a dog, two birds, four bird eggs, and a fat poet chasing me. Last year it was the golf course developer.

I saw a tornado in '90 when I lived out in Indiana - was the loudest noise I ever heard and I never want to hear again.  The sky was all weird too - a greenish-black.  As a native new englander I was pretty freaked out.\n\nI've been in a few hurricanes here in CT worst being Gloria in 1985.  The wind gets bad.. trees bent all the way to the ground..rain lashing against the house.  Then you get an eerie calm period in the eye and it starts all over again.  Luckily we don't get them as bad as the south.. I really feel for them!  Did a lot of damage.. had no power for a week.  Trees were broken, houses damaged severely.  I was out of high school for a week because all the electrical lines to the school were torn out.  \n\nI have been through more than my share of Nor'Easters too (snow storm indigenous to New England that pulls moisture from the Atlantic and brings it in from the northeast).  I've seen Nor'easters that have dumped 2-3 feet of snow in one shot.

I've seen several funnel clouds, those are an awesome and chilling sight. By the time you notice them they're pretty well-formed. Almost all of them last a few seconds and either dissipate or roll back up into the sky. We were actually involved with a real tornado three years ago, It was an F1-F2 that stayed on the ground for almost thirty miles. I heard  the siren go off in the next town, we got the kids and the dogs in the basement. My wife and I kept going outside and looking around for something more threatening than the usual oncoming thunderstorm. After about 10 minutes we heard the freight train coming and headed downstairs. The house shook enough that the dust came down from the rafters. It lasted less than thirty seconds and then a whole lot of rain came down. The tornado missed us by 200 yards. The telephone pole in the corner of my back yard was okay, the one next to it was torn out of the ground and thrown across the road. The one next to that was torn out and thrown a hundred yards. No one in my rural neighborhood was hurt, but they did wind up bulldozing and rebuilding three homes. The home across the street had the front porch torn off and thrown over the roof, exposing a large hole in the roof deck that let in enough rain to collapse most of the ceilings. The path of damage was maybe a half-mile wide. Homes outside that range did not see much damage. I was surprised that the wind was toward the tornado, not away from it. The funnel was enough of a low-pressure point to draw the air towards it at a hundred-and-some miles an hour. The broken trees have repaired themselves, the homes and farms have been rebuilt, The only lasting reminder is a lot of sheets of tin barn roof still wrapped around treetops. We're in Northern Ohio. Moderate tornado damage is at least a yearly event in the area. Huge destructive disastrous storms like they get in the plains are a rarity.

We've had several the past month and a half, which is unusual for Central California this time of year (or so I'm told... I'm new here.) The national weather service said a few were severe but I've seen much worse in Virginia and Iowa. We did have a couple with marble sized hail though. Enough hail fell to coat the ground almost an inch deep. A lot of the locals thought it was snow because of how soft it was when they went back outside to see it closer.

Several members of my family can have anaphylactic reactions to certain foods and medications containing corn.  I have driven myself to the doctors with my throat swelling.  My mother has landed in the emergency room more than once. All three of my kids have the potential, but avoidance is the key.  We do carry an Epipen.

For you information, we did NOT get aid immediately, it was nearly 1 week and a half after that we got ANY acknowledgment of being alive.  I live in Northwest Florida and we still have damage.  There are people with blue roofs still after nearly 2 years (Hurricane Ivan).  We had no help from anyone, we were completely ignored!  The gym at one of the local high schools had the roof ripped off, and just recently was it replaced.  The reason we were "better off" was that we actually prepared. I feel pity for them yes, but hardly guilt, they got relief faster than we did.

I have. I took pictures of this one that came right by my house. This tornado was in Tennesse so it was big for us down here. Also a few years ago a twister came through part of my town and destroyed the school i was going to. Since my town is so small and my school is so small we had class in our courthouse.
