Lol, this would be awesome at George Bush Park, which becomes a 3 ft deep 7000 acre lake when it floods.

I should try to buy as many Nokia 3310 as possible so protect the walls/windows of my appartment so if my city ever gets hit by a somewhat strong hurricane, I am safe.

@Deep that's a bad thing? :P

Worst case scenario around here is that huge earthquake that's apparently "overdue". If I had a hurricane problem, evacuation sounds like the best option, since they usually see them coming, but for earthquakes I'd just try to get outside.

It's best that nothing bad happens to any of you, although I guess some people might be willing to experience such event just for the adrenaline rush or see how it is like. I myself am curious about how intense a real hurricane is, but I would be scared if we're hit by the eyewall of a c2+ storm.

As for an earthquake I heard a few years ago from someone that my area is technically awaiting for a Big One within the next 30 years, although they mean something like we got in 1663 and 1925 in Charlevoix area, meaning ranging from 6 to 7 (with very slim chances of hitting 8.0) on Richter scale. I haven't witnessed an earthquake that caused stuff to shake in my home since 1997 or so (it was kinda scary but it was just 5.2 and there was no damage) and the last one that I could feel was two years ago I think, but that shit can happen at any moment which sucks since we can't get prepared like hurricanes.

Well, the "big one" for us (the Pacific Northwest of the United States) is supposed to be a Richter 9.0+ earthquake that's apparently already overdue. The fault is fifty or so miles from the coast, which means big (really big) tsunami.

That sounds scary O.O. Over here we have no major continent fault, but we got one that is supposedly inactive in the St-Laurent river, although some places says it went active again years ago, plus the Charlevoix crater and a few other places South of the province. As a result, we get a lot more earthquakes than USA East Coast or Canadian Prairies, for example, but unlike California, all of our earthquakes are small and most can't be felt. The only issue is how the ground is formed north of the river so if a bigger earthquake occured, there might be more damage there than south.

Of course you get more earthquakes then the prairies :P We live nowhere near a fault, so there is nowhere for an earthquake to happen :P

Well, the Ungava Bay area of Quebec had no fault either and apparently there was an earthquake there once years ago. It was the first ever recorded earthquake there. :P

The ones along the Japan-Indonesia line seems to be pretty big ones, a 8+ earthquake every 5-10 years or so. The US West Coast is along the same tectonic plate but at the other side, so most stuff that happens there could also be linked to Japan.

 I don't think there's much chance that the 9.0 tsunami will get to most of the places that would be affected by the quake. The world's biggest tsunami ever recorded only rose 1/3 of the altitude of the place I'm at. The earthquake, though, could be interesting. And dangerous.
