been through 3 wildfires (scariest stuff ever!) 2 earthquakes (one in NH and one in MD), one hurricane in NJ and way too many tornadoes to count, at least 7. the most memorable was when i was about 14. i was babysitting (3yo, 18month old and a 4 month old). no basement, open fields on 3 sides. i was doing dishes and looking out the back window when i saw the green sky, and the funnel churning up the field. grab 3 kids, 1 puppy, (the cat was on its own) drag them, crying (me too) into the baby's closet, pulling the crib mattress over us. we heard the tornado go over the house. it picked up the rook some and moved it askew and ripps the front porch off. we stay right there until the got us out.
stay safe!
