Hey guys,<br><br>Seems like the start of a poll. Put me down for prefering hurricanes (especially the ones you get at Pat O'Brians:) I've been through three hurricanes (Elana, Andrew and I can't remember) while living on Mississippi's Gulf Coast. Elena ran right over where I was, the other two were peripherial hits. I've also been through two tornados. No earthquakes, though. <br><br>As Don said, you get some warning with hurricanes. Tornados generally give at least a few minutes. Earthquakes--zero. You may have made plans for dealing with a earthquake, but you get no control over where you are when it hits. Plenty of time for evacuation with hurricanes. A small amount of time with tornados, and none with earthquakes. I'll take the hurricanes anyday; that way I can watch them....on the news from a long way away.<br><br>Andy
