What's scarier?

Good question -- not easy to reply to either! 

I lived in CA and OK before moving here.  Tornadoes are freaky but rare.  Earthquakes are more common than you'd ever believe, but only a few are devastating.  And yet in Florida and along the Carolina coasts, you'll see boarded up windows and abandoned towns every fall or spring.  What's up with that? 

Hurricanes just seem to bring on the worst possible combo of wind and rain, and occasionally massive flodding, power-outages, and stadium overflows.  (sorry, I had to say it -- FEMA completely screwed NOLA)

The 'canes got my vote.

You forgot training.

Get it together, man. 

sex = cross training

I vote monsters.  They're all around us, they don't have horns or big teeth or lots of fur.  They're your neighbors, your family members, your co-workers, the guy in the check line ahead of you.

Monsters live.  What people do is far scarier to me than what mother nature throws at us.

Hard to answer.  I've lived in Hurricane Land, Tornado Alley, and now in Firestorm/Earthquake Central, and they're all pretty f-ing scary when you're faced with a big one.

I answered Firestorm only because that's the one that gets me all upset every autumn.  But a big Earthquake would be scary too.  The little quakes I've been through have been a bit disorienting. 

Tornados are freaky and can come up on you so quickly.  They really do sound like a freightrain in your livingroom.

Hurricanes -- well, I've never lived through one, because when we were little we'd always go stay with my Granny who lived way up north (near Monroe, LA).  But to hear my parents talk about Katrina, that's not something I'd like to go through.  And they were in Baton Rouge.

ok...  you officially have scared the me today   people can be so horrible.. and i bet i don't know 99% of it...

Yeah, but they're only about 0.01% of the population.  Think of all the wonderful, kind, helpful, loving, supportive folks you meet on the street. 

I was in Santa Clara, CA during the Lloma Prieta earthquake during the '89 world series and then I was in Orlando during hurricane Charlie in '05 and have never been in a tornado so for  me tornados are scariest.

A. Because of the unknown.  Face it, we're all a little bit afraid of the unknown.

B. Because of the unpredictability.  Hurricanes are crazy but you've got hours of warning.  Plenty of time to get out of dodge if you need to.

I'm gonna vote for hurricanes.  I'd go with tornadoes for the unpredictability factor, but hurricanes tend to spawn multiple tornadoes anyway.

Errr, and spokes....Jefferson Davis' house is still there.  It got badly damaged, but it's upright.  Maybe you mean the Hooters in Biloxi?
