I live in Texas,so I experienced a couple of tornados and hurricanes when I was a kid, and just recently, Hurricane Ike, which totally fucked up everything around me, including my house.
Earthquakes. It's a very odd, unsettling feeling to say the least. The worst part is that it's so sudden and it scares the shit out of you when it happens.
I've been in a hurricane awhile back and I've seen a tornado off in the distance when visiting relatives in the Midwest.
WOW, I live in the maritimes, and you would think that since we are next to the atlantic Ocean, we would experience lots of tornadoes and stuff. NOT ONE TIME, I am pretty sure there has never been a tornado here! There isn't even probably a freaking mountain large enough for a volcano :P

I've experienced a few tornado's living in Wichita. A few friends of mine are "storm chasers", so to say. They took me out to go watch this tornado destroy this town a few years ago, it was nuts.
Other than that and freak ice storms, I've been in one earthquake, but it was a bitch earthquake. It was different.

I never have experienced a natural disaster. I live in Newfoundland, so we don't get a lot of that. There's only been one earthquake within NL that I know of. The most we get here might be the tail end of a hurricane, which would give us a bit of rain and some wind.

Re: Experienced a natural disaster?
Can't say i have. Australia is pretty much in the middle of a tectonic plate so no (major) earthquakes. Too far away for anything like a tsunami coming and it's a very dry country so risk of floods is low in many areas.
I live in Maryland, and I remember being hit with Tornado Warnings alot as a kid.
It seemed like every Summer I would spend every two weeks stuffed in my basement waiting for some kind of sign that the storm was over. I remember one time we looked outside, and one of the clouds was fucking green, which somebody told me was probably the eye of the storm.
Yet through all the fear and shit, we never actually got hit with a Tornado (not where I live anyway) but you could always count on getting a Tornado warning in the summer and to take extra precautions in case something does happen. Oddly enough, it doesn't happen anymore. Either the storms just aren't as bad, or the people in Maryland got so sick and tired of false alarms that they just stopped caring.
