    5. What type of natural disaster scares you the most? For our area, Tornadoes, for 2 reasons, one hit a couple of years ago right down the stree from our house now and they can just pop up anywhere, you really don't have too much warning to move. Scares the crap out of me.

    When I lived on the beach, we would prep the windows, make sure the generator was working, and stock up on beer and water. The necessities, you know?

    Let's keep this party going! 

    1. What natural disasters (earthquakes, tsunami, volcanoes, wildfires, tornadoes, hurricanes/typhoons/cyclones, floods, landslides, etc) is your area prone to?

    None really unless you count blizzards a natural disaster. Although we've had a few tornadoes recently, but I wouldn't say we are prone to them. We are surrounded by mountains. 

    2. What natural disasters have you experienced firsthand?

    An earthquake. We just had one hear for first time in like 100 years a couple months ago. 

    3. Have you ever been evacuated due to a natural disaster?

    No. 

    4. Have you made/do you make any special preparations in case of natural disaster where you live? 

    No. 

    5. What type of natural disaster scares you the most?

    Definitely an earthquake, mainly because there is little to no warning.

    1. What natural disasters (earthquakes, tsunami, volcanoes, wildfires, tornadoes, hurricanes/typhoons/cyclones, floods, landslides, etc) is your area prone to? We're not really "prone" to anything, but we can and sometimes get tornadoes, blizzards, floods, and really bad electrical storms.

    2. What natural disasters have you experienced firsthand? Blizzards and really bad lightning.

    3. Have you ever been evacuated due to a natural disaster? No.

    4. Have you made/do you make any special preparations in case of natural disaster where you live? Not really. I've been trying to make an emergency kit for the car, but besides that, we just keep kerosene and a heater for when the power goes out.

    5. What type of natural disaster scares you the most? Tornadoes. Hands down. There's so little warning and they can be so destructive over a large area and short amount of time.
