Let's see lived through tornadoes, hurricane winds, flood, ice storms, blizzards, heat waves to the triple digits, droughts, forest fires, earth quakes, swarms of ants, termites, and even rattle snakes. LOL about the only thing I haven't been in is an avalance or a tusumi. Oh yea I survived teenagers lol.

Las Vegas has some extreme hot and dry summers, other than that every once in a great while there are flash floods during monsoons and a mild to moderate dust storms

however just 30 minutes north of Las Vegas there is a city and the largest mountain in Southern Nevada Mt. Charleston where in the winter it snows pretty good and can get in the 20s or lower with occasional heavy snowfall


Avalanches are not a regular occurrence, still they have occurred and have taken some lives

I'm in California and I live right on the San Andreas fault. The maximum probable magnitude moment for this fault is an 8+. So, when the big ones hits, its gonna level my city.

Where do you live and what's the probable natural disaster there? Ever been through one?



:smile: The ice storm I survived last winter was the scariest natural disaster I been thru:smile:


I remember that!

I live in the middle of the woods and about 1 and a half hour driving from New York City but in a higher elevation so flood wouldn't bother me as much..so the only thing I can think of...

We have hurricane sirens every Friday at noon. At the same time, the church bell starts ringing. I've never seen a decent hurricane, and the church bell can't count worth a damn. So, yea, I got nothing.

We have some really bad fires in Caliornia every year. I remember, as a cop, we used to have tell people when it was time to evacuate and shut down the roads. People would be desperate to get to their homes thinking they were gonna save their stuff. There was always one person who would drive right through our blockades or nearly run one of us over to get home in spite of the warnings.
