Hi, everyone! If you're on the East Coast / also in Florida, I hope you're prepared to stand against Hurricane Dorian.

Points if you don't mention Day After Tomorrow.

oh that's how it is, eh.

Natural disasters are my fav type of action flick - Twister (and Night of the Twisters? obvi), San Andres, 2012, any sort of volcano movie, Poseidon, Armageddon (to an extent... an asteroid is natural). Geostorm was fucking dumb though.

Geostorm was fucking wild.

Same! I was so obsessed with Twister when it first came out that I wanted to be a meteorologist. Then I found out how much math is involved. I tried Atmospheric Sciences in college (there wasn't a metrology major available) but after sitting in Biology 101 and listening to the sex life of plants, it wasn't what I expected.

Honestly I love any disaster movie but weather and doomsday movies are my jam.
