Which one do you worry about most and why, Typhoon, Earthquake or Volacnic Erruption?

Question

John C:
I worry about earthquakes being in Los Angeles. Let me tell you they are scary as hell I been through one in SF and LA.

Answer 1

None of these, as my part of the world [India] has hitherto been unaffected by these natural calamities.
...But after a tidal wave caused colossal destruction of lives and property in South India on 26 December 2005, I am worried about future strikes of such 'tsunami's.

Answer 2

Since you asked for "worry about most", then you want us to choose one of the three.

It is not typhoons. There are enough warnings days before a typhoon comes. And we are visited by 20 typhoons a year, so we have developed skills to cope.

It is not volcanic eruptions I worry about most. First of all, there is none where I live (although there is Tall Volcano near my Tagaytay property). That is not to say I am insensitive to the concerns of those who are within the danger zone. But then again, there are enough warnings before an eruption. Science has allowed us to deal with volcanic eruptions better now than in the past.

But earthquakes are not (yet) predictable. They come like a thief in the night, without warning. They demolish communities without any provocation, without any signs they will strike.

That is why I worry most about earthquakes.

Answer 3

Volcanic eruption - just imagine an eruption that last a month, that sends miles-and-miles of ashes above our atmosphere.

Guess what will happen next, the ashes will travel around the world brought by the wind. Since it reaches the atmosphere, it will envelope the earth and will cover us against the sun rays and heat for several years.

Next thing that will happen, ICE AGE 4. Global Warming will be reversed, ALL plants will die because they cannot generate photosynthesis, only the thought animals will survive.

So far scientist and geologist cannot determine how long the volcano erupts, a one month eruption is possible.

Scary right....

Lucky, PENGUINS will be happy.

Answer 4

I'm in Arkansas, no chance of a typhoon. We sometimes feel earthquakes from the New Madrid fault along the Mississippi river. Recently they've discovered another fault line running right up the middle of Arkansas. But I don't worry about it.
We come nearer to having tornadoes. Those can be devastating!

Answer 5

I tink for me Earthquake.. thats what i feel because earthquake is a...
shaking of Earth's crust: a violent shaking of the Earth's crust that may cause destruction to buildings and results from the sudden release of tectonic stress along a fault line or from volcanic activity.
.. disruptive event: an event that causes an upheaval in society, politics, or somebody's life....

Answer 6

I worry about all of them. I worry, worry, worry all the time.

If we shoot the eye of the typhoon, do you think we can kill it, Mr. Bond?

Has the Lab come up yet with the Nitro Bubble gun, which should freeze molten lava on its tracks?

I don't think we should worry about earthquake. We're always on rock and roll we shouldn't notice it.

What I really worry about is when the Ozone shield gives, and killer rays come to vaporize everyone. "Q" should come up with something to counter that. How about the Nitro Bubble to blanket everyone? I think the freeze effect and the torrid rays should cancel each other out.

Answer 7

Earthquake. It can trigger volcanic eruption and can cause tsunami, which can have worse effect than a typhoon.

Answer 8

Yes earthquake dude, I'm here at the bay area and under us is the san andreas fault.

Answer 9

living here at the great plains, I don't worry about volcanic eruptions or Earthquakes, because we don't have it here... but Typhoon, oh yes, especially tornadoes...

which one do you worry about, these three that you stated or falling asteroids to the Earth?

Answer 10

Earthquakes! because typhoons and volcanic eruptions might be known prior... an earthquake? you don't know when and where will it strike..most of all it can cause catastrophy..
