Yes, Terrible Tuesday, April 1979.

The Nisqually quake near Seattle back in Feb. 2001. Registered 6.8 and I felt it very strongly 90 miles east of the center in Cle ELum. My well water was quite murky for a couple of days and I lost 25 feet of static water level. I know of 2 neighbors whose wells went dry. It was a pretty serious event.

Unfortunately several hurricanes in Houston.. that’s enough for this Canuck. I can’t imagine adding earthquakes on top of that trauma.

Lived near San Francisco in 1989 when a huge earthquake hit (6.9) and caused a bunch of double decker freeways to collapse on each other squishing cars and trapping hundreds of people. Where I lived we felt a huge rolling wave that made my waterbed look like the Bering Sea for a minute. It was terrifying, my first earthquake. There were others, but that one had the biggest impact on me!

As a native to the Bay Area, and having experienced dozens of tremors in my lifetime, one tends to develop an internal Richter Scale of sorts. I can't tell you how many times my wife and I have been awakened by an earthquake, and guessed at the magnitude. "Well, if the epicenter was close [our house is less than a mile from the San Andreas fault] that was probably a 3 to 3.5, but if the epicenter was more than 50 miles away, that was a major quake, say, between 5 and 6!" In California, that's just how we roll.

A very mild earthquake when was a child and walking to school. Everything shook. We just though it was a very large truck. Some things fell and broke at home.

I was in an earthquake while working on the computer system in a hospital in San Jose, CA in the 80s. I was in the Medical Records Dept. when it began, and everything started shaking. The cubicles were divided by glass, and were shaking and rattling, and I decided I'd better get under a desk before all the glass started breaking. Just as I was about to do so, it stopped, and the lights went out. The emergency power kicked on, which only powered certain critical areas. I was on the 3rd floor, and because all the elevators had stopped, I had to take the stairs down. I later talked to someone who had been outside, and they said the parking lot was rippling with waves during the quake. No one was hurt, but it was pretty intense. Living in California for 9 and a half years, I experienced quite a few, but that was the worst one I experienced directly.

Born and raised in So Cal; been through a couple hellacious quakes. But like a friend of mine used to say, "I'll take an earthquake over a tornado any day. At least when the quake's over all your stuff is still in one place."

I have experienced a couple of small earthquakes and tornadoes close by, but not affected by them personally. Scary things - I've been lucky.

I have been through a few earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, and floods. The biggest pain is afterwards...no electricity. You miss creature comforts like a hot shower and A/C. But, you are grateful to be alive so you put up with the crap that comes with these natural events.

We had a teeny tiny earthquake in my area (metro NYC) a few years ago. Chandelier started swaying, chair I was sitting in at my desk with wheels on the bottom started moving. Lasted maybe 15 seconds. Weirded me out. Told a friend in Los Angeles who just laughed.

I haven’t gotten to experience either of those yet
But I have been in about 8 hurricanes!!

earthquake

Can't remember how many earthquakes....sizeable ones? Probably 6. And..two hurricanes.

Yes. Minor earthquakes in California and I have seen many a tornado. In once case I drove under an amazing cyclone. It sounded exactly like a freight train traveling. This cloud didn't quite make it to ground but it was surreal. That was an interesting meteorological day. 8 tornado events during that system destroying many structures.

I have..both.

A tornado came to my farm in Morehead, KY, in 2002, and was over our house, after going up highway 60, ripping up trees and trailers in its path. My ex was screaming that we should take cover but I just told the tornado to dissolve, and it did, since quantum mechanics teaches us that nothing exists that we haven't imagined first.

My kids knew to do the same, and my daughter did that to a tornado that was crossing the baseball field and almost to her middle school door, except she told it to skip the school, so it jumped over it and destroyed the hardware store across the street. I told her to tell tornados to dissolve next time.

We did stuff like that all the time, and even my ex learned from me and mentally diverted a tornado that was heading for his house after we broke up. That's one thing the Biblical Jesus allegedly taught us..that anyone can control the weather.

If you troll me, I'll just block you.

In 2013, I was relaxing in my hammock in my fourth floor apartment in Nakhon, Thailand, when I noticed that the TV was rocking back and forth, then the hammock frame did the same. I got up and the floor was heaving like waves.

I managed to get dressed and get down the stairs, but by then it had stopped. I walked across town to a shopping mall where a Thai official was addressing a large crowd. I eased up and asked a Thai man (in Thai) what had happened. He said there had been a 6.1 earthquake in Aceh Sumatra, just across the Andaman Sea from the Thailand isthmus.

Luckily, we were on the quiet Gulf of Thailand side of the isthmus, so we weren't in danger of another tsunami, like what happened in Thailand after the 2004 Indian ocean earthquake.

Many earthquakes in California. I was 8 months pregnant when the big 89 quake in the Bay Area. I majored in archeology and geology in college, if you want me to scientific about it, I wouldn’t mind.

I was in Tokyo in my hotel room and I sensed movement. I went to the window and all the tv antennas were swaying back and fourth.... nobody payed it any mind..... Lost power for a week in a florida hurricane to.... thank god for a generator.

We're lucky here we don't get big quakes and only one known tornado in my lifetime. I've managed to miss every quake by being somewhere else when they happen, apart from a 5.1 years ago that knocked everything off the shelves in my room. I slept through it

Earthquakes here in Seattle and in Japan, but none too serious.

both and a hurricane too

Both. Not a fan of either.

Hurricanes, maybe not as scary as earthquakes, but they breed tornados. Irma last year was a cat4 and I just watched the big tree out back doing the hokey pokey for 12 hours.

Earthquake near Blewett Pass, WA struck at midnight as I was lying in bed. My bed and walls were doing the hula. In Wenatchee, WA, I've been through two earthquakes.

The Cascade Mountains are volcanoes.

Tornados while growing up in Michigan. It was eerie to see the sky turn green. Saw multiple funnel clouds. Hail like golf balls. Luckily no tornados hit our house. We had a tornado shelter.

"A tomato is coming! A tomato is coming!" I hollered, running home from kindergarten.

A week before Mt. Saint Helens erupted, I was sailing on the Puget Sound. In early May, all the mountains were white. Except Mt. Saint Helens. Heated up, Mt. Saint Helens was brown. As Native Americans said: "bad medicine."

The second time Mt. St. Helens erupted, I was backpacking in the Olympic Mountains. Ash began falling heavily. We felt like wild animals fleeing fire. We ran 14 miles to the car with heavy backpacks.

Driving around the Olympic Peninsula, cars raised huge clouds of ash. Drivers were recklessly passing each other, because ash clogs car air filters. It was dangerous.
