I dunno . . . I find tornadoes even scarier. But I’ve lived in California all my life, where we get lots of small shakes but tornadoes are extremely rare. It may be just what you get used to is less scary than what you only hear about. That said, a big shaker would be terrifying. I’ve been in some medium-sized ones that just kept going, and I did not like that feeling one bit. Never been all that big on roller-coasters. 😛

I find the wildfires to be scary too. We just entered the fire season and already we’ve had a bad fire in the Santa Cruz mountains. Do you get tornadoes where you are? The Concord area gets them sometimes; those funnel clouds up in the sky always make me leery. San Francisco’s even gotten one! 😯

I’m downright terrified of the thought of tornadoes; I went to college in AR, and they used to do tornado drills, along with the fire drills all schools do.
I’ve had a couple of close calls, but never been in one. But anytime the sky goes that funny green color, the hair on my arms and the back of my neck stands on end, and I start getting real nervous and looking for places to hide. Even though up here it most likely means hail and a lot of lightning……

New Hot Springs sounds like fun. Like a side effect of quakes I could live with Laughing

haha 😀 cool to have hot springs if you can take a bath that is 80°c (and keep your skin while your at it)

but if you guys are interested, I left a few links in this thread

and I am not as afraid of earthquakes as storms (we rarely have earthquakes but even rarer are the storms that have the same speed of tornados, and they leave me scared shitless

As far as I know, there hasn’t been a tornado up here for a while, but the Central Valley reportedly can get them now and then. They’re just pretty rare. The thought of a tornado gives me the collywobbles. 😯 I hope I never see one! That mega storm that came through here last January was scary enough.

guess what!!! we had an earthquake today, the US measurements have labeled it a 6.7 richter scale, it yanked me from my work for like 20 secs and my collegue jumped up screaming (she is 61 yrs old) and she was talking to her elderly mother on the phone, but there was only one barn wall that collapsed near the origins of the quake (building regulations are very strict in Iceland), we aquired a new hot-spring and the citicents of two towns have to sleep outside in tents (now that’s new) no serious injuries on people, but my co worker had bits of worries (understandably) because she lives within 10 kilometres from the quake middle

I saw this on the news! I grew up in California, so I know how scary they can be! Glad no one was hurt!!!
