Main danger around my parts would be tornados. Sheer winds are second.
I'm most in danger of living a peaceful worry-free life on a daily bases. :)
Probably not what most people fear.
1. Falls at home. According to the NSC, falls are the leading cause of fatalities in older adults and more than half of them occur at home. Accidents at home cause more fatalities than motor vehicle deaths. My luck, I'll fall out of a car.
2. Home fires. The number 3 killer in homes. Ton's of safety gear and practice evacuation. Still a huge concern for me.
3. Driving. I'm getting older and my reflexes are slowing. It's something I know and try to incorporate into my driving habits. I drive with my lights always on. Buckle up, of course, drive the speed limit and try to keep distractions to an absolute minimum.
Any problems working the BAN BUTTON, big guy? :innocent:Quote:

Ticking off the Mrs.
What am I in danger of?
Extreme economic downfall! I'm not in danger of it though, I am in the midst of it. But, I still have internet so all is not lost. LOL!
revenge from a jealous lover.... Turns out...I'm quite the stud! Ladies love me...husbands and boyfriends would love to kill me! I am a modern day John Holmes!
John Holmes had AIDS.
I'm holding out. I plan to be killed at the hands of a jealous love at 104.
My BBQ. If I don't stop grilling, I'll weigh 450 lbs!
Getting stuck on the peninsula in an emergency. There's only 4 ways out and 3 are bay bridge, bridge/tunnel and car ferry. Just regular tourist traffic causes jams for miles.
Wildfire, Cabin fire, killing or being killed by drug addicts, Falling off the roof. Highway accident. Getting bear bitten.
Now see, that's why you need to move to NYC. Much safer on all those counts. And if that wasn't enough, there are 10 women for every man.Quote:

Total financial meltdown. :(
I guess we all face "danger" every day. Like Rick said, it could be a fall. Or a random drunken driver. So many things we cannot control. I try to gauge what I can control, and then take appropriate action.
As far as what type of natural event might do the most harm/damage, I'd have to say thunderstorms/lightning/tornadoes.
