 I JUST FELT MY FIRST EARTHQUAKE

EDIT:  It was evidently a 5.0 earthquake, with an epicenter 76 km (47 miles) southeast of me.  Finally, something I can check off the "to experience in Japan" list.  Big enough to really feel it, not big enough to cause much damage.  :D:D

OMG YAY!!!!

Earthquakes>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Tornados - as my experience in Kansas taught me *hugs California*

I live near a fault line so its like little massages all the time. We're just waiting one that one that sinks us in the ocean *knocks on wood*

Yeah, I've only had experience with tornado warnings (when I lived in Milwaukee) and not actual tornadoes, thank goodness.

So:

Volcano eruption
Tornado warnings
typhoon
earthquake

I feel like I should be playing natural disaster bingo.

If you want tornadoes, come visit Oklahoma in mid-Spring. We will deliver!

Haha, tornadoes scare me more than anything else on that list. :P
