I have been through dozens of hurricanes, seen a tornado or two with my own eyes and been through a couple of mild earthquakes. Although tornadoes scare the bejezus out of me, the earthquakes were the most disorienting, terrifying experiences I've had. Nothing was behaving as it should. I can't even imagine being in a strong one.

Hurricane Hugo - September 20, 1988 - Charleston, SC took a direct hit and we were in the Omni Hotel in downtown Charleston. Next hurricane that comes, I'm going to Tennessee!! Not fun, not exciting, not anything I would care to relive! "Terrifying" sums up my experience nicely.

An ice storm in 1991 that left us without power for 17 days, caused a tree to fall on our driveway that totalled one car and damaged another, ripped the gutters off of our house, and wrecked our backyard fence. This isn't my house, but it's from a street nearby. The tree that fell on our cars was 70 years old and HUGE.

Hurricane Gloria, back in 1985. We were without power for 11 days. And since our neiborhood relied on well water, this was quite a problem! Luckily, one neighbor had a hand-operated pump.
-
Snow storms of more than 24 inches. Remnants of a few hurricanes.

I grew up in south Texas so I have lived through a number of hurricanes. Some worse than others, and I know they can be devastating but we always looked at them as an opportunity to make the most of it, as in playing board games with candlelight, and making drinks when I was older, you get the idea. No sense in fretting over what you can't control.
