>>Wow! I was in Monterey, CA (DLI) during the Oct 89 quake. I watched the trees sway and the ground actually roll. No power for 3 days and spent those 3 days helping folks get out of destroyed homes, cars, and anyplace else they were when everything came tumbling down. My sister still lives in California but NOT ME. :o) (I was actually in the military dining facility when it struck and it was a modern bldg with all walls of glass - it was C R A Z Y!)

>..yeah but at least you know those are coming..haha

hurricanes, yes. Tornadoes, no. Last tornado that hit moved at 50mph and by the time it was seen or caught on radar it had passed by already. I was actually watching the news at the time and no tornado warning yet. It hit a mile from me and sounded like a train was going through my building - it was a big and loud one. Came so fast the pipes were rattling for about 5 seconds (enough time to run to the bathroom but that's all). It damaged/destroyed some homes :( I can't imagine what it felt like even closer...
