    Hurricanes Hugo and Gilbert/Typhoons in Taiwan
    Some weaksauce tornados and floods in Houston and Dallas
    Earthquakes in California. I slept through a 6.8 if that counts.

    There was a big forest fire in southern california 10 or so years ago where the whole day sky was pitch black for less than a week. Reached within 7 miles from my parent's home. Reminded me of armageddon prophesies realized...

    Haven't lived in the north long enough for any crazy snowpocalypes yet.

    You see, you make me want to post snark because that's just so irrational.
    But I won't. It would be easy BBBB...but this s^^* needs to stop.

    If you were being humorous maybe use Comi Sans or something to indicate that.
