i survived a tornado that ripped apart my neighborhood on march 12, 2006
My family barely made it into the crawl space of the house
Now the house is rebuilt but it still sucked

Dom,
Same thing in 1980. I left that morning with 3 huge maples on the side of my house and came home to find them on my house and in my house. Twelve straight days of 100+ heat (even at night), no electricity and 3 small kids. Had to replace the roof and could only work on it around 3:00 or 4:00 in the morning because the shingles were just too hot. Neighbors and family all helping each other. That part was a good feeling. The rest stunk.

I was backpacking in the mountains when a hurricane hit in 1979 totally unexpected. With trees falling down around me and torrential rains, I made it down into a remote valley and found shelter in a log lean to beside a raging stream that overflowed its banks.

I "survived" the blizzard of '07 up here. Big enough to cancel Michigan Tech University for the day... first day of canceled classes due to winter in, oh, 50 years. I don't remember it though, I planned on sleeping in that day anyways.
Oh, Natviedude. Hands down. The worst disaster of all....and two of them!!!! I now know why you headed for the hills.

3 years ago ,38 inch snow fall and 2 drunk men,(had no clue who they were) sleeping on my floor when they showed up at 1:30 in the morning,coveralls full of beer,because they slid off the road and couldnt get their truck unstuck,couldnt leave them out there to freeze,it was quite a ways to the next house,so on the floor they slept.Was 3 days before the farmers came by and cleared a path down the road before they could go anywhere or get a tow truck to pull out their truck.
...whatever happened with Owl Girl and the flood situation?:confused:
She built an ark, marched in a male and female of every kind of creature...saved the world. She's a busy young lady, Sarge.

Couple tornado's here, and flooding.
Blizzards, winter power outage, a couple of mining emergencies, been in two earthquakes when I was out in BC but neither of them seemed to amount to much so I don't think they count.

Nell, one thing I learned early on with this group is that any misspoken word is like a blood letting in a pool full of piranha. Like crocodiles along the opposite side of the river. "That's it, Mr. Survavlist, come on in the water. Closer, closer. You're doin' fine. What's that you say? (Theme from Jaws begins).
