Natural Disasters

1. Do natural disasters (earthquakes, hurricanes, blizzards, tsunamis) worry you? Why/why not?
I don't spend quality time on them, unless the possibility is imminent. If the wind picks up, or the sky looks unnaturally green, or if the weather map shows stuff on its way here, then yeah, I'll make sensible preparations.

2. Where you live, which natural disaster are you most prone to? Does it make you want to move somewhere else? Why/Why not?
Can you say Tornado Alley? Since that and the very occasional blizzard are about all we see, I can honestly say that I'd rather be here than dealing with floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, or black fly infestations.

3. Have you ever been affected by an Act of Nature? If so, do tell!
Not in this sense, thank goodness. Coupla small earthquakes, no biggie.

Bonus Question: Which natural disaster do you find the most fascinating (cause hey, they are!)? Why?
Fascinating in the sense of self-preservation: tornadoes, hands-down, because I need to know how they work so I can do sensible things when one is in the area. There's also that movie that brings some interest in tornadoes up whenever I see it.
Fascinating in other senses: blizzards (thank The Long Winter for that) and earthquakes, having experienced small ones. Very weird. Also have some sort of weird "thing" for volcanic eruptions, probably based on the whole history surrounding Pompeii.
