Random Poll of Five Days Ago! (869)

[Kor]

I'll go with Israel for the sake of this poll. Very rarely.

Colorado.. hmm... if you count wildfires, I guess it would be about once a year or so, but I'm not really sure.

[aly_angelflight]

Where I used to live was just barely close enough to the coast to get bad storms whenever a hurricane went through and got tornadoes every once in a while (including that big wave of tornadoes back in spring last year), but current area? I've yet to hear of anything but thunderstorms, and I don't consider those to be natural disasters.

[Commi-Ninja]

Rarely.  Even if we get hit with tornadoes, they're usually not totally devastating.

[kei]

Very rarely.

[Akonyl]

I'll go with ~once a year. They're usually not very serious, but they'er still hurricanes when they get up here, so

there was also that earthquake this year, but that never happens ever.

[blurfbreg]

It's just that in the last 15 years: an earthquake that I never felt.

[MaitreDétective]

last one I remember was a thunderstorm in 2000

[Jecka]

Maybe once a year to every few years?

[Stopwatch]

...never?

[Borealis]

Define "area"

Our village: never

[mangaluva]

If Hurricane Bawbag counts... still very rarely.

[Callid]

Never. Central Europe is pretty much as safe as you can get. In fact, flooding is pretty much the only disaster possible with any significant frequency (tornadoes do exist - roughly 1 per 1'000'000 km² per decade, and usually weak ones :x).

[doublemoonlight]

missed it but in NZ I'd say every few years considering that Earthquake that happened few years ago.
