Man eating monkeys, since you can just shoot them. You can't do much about the other problems. |

Probably hurricane-infested. I've experienced a hurricane before when Isabel made landfall in my state (Virginia), so I know pretty much what it's like. Besides, I've seen and heard so many great things about Florida that I'd think I'd love living there.  |

Earthquakes. |

Earthquakes sound fun! |
| ausfox |
I'll take the earthquakes |
| Galomorro |
Ugh to all, but I'd choose earthquakes cuz I'm so used to 'em. At least all women would be safe from the "man"-eating monkeys... |
| Galomorro |
How much "fun" they are depends a whole lot on how big they are! Take it from me, the big ones are scary. |

Yes very scary indeed those really big ones like in China could not begin to imagine! |

well define 'infested' here first. How frequent are these natural (or not so in the case of the monkeys) disasters happening? |
| Enheduanna |
I already live in one prone to serious earthquakes. I'll stick with that. |

They need to make their buildings more quake-proof in the future and fix the old ones. |

Naw, naw. The little dude I want to reproduce with will never be quite manly enough to be a man. He'll just become a bigger dude. |

Earthquake proof buildings would make a difference just like in Japan they could learn from the Japanese on how to design these buildings and if the old ones are not brought up to code , how much longer before they crumble when the next big earthquake strikes again it sure must get expensive living in earthquake zones |

Uh..monkeys I guess..Although, infested in anything is bad.

How bad was it up there? Totally destroyed down here. |

I live in Colorado so we don't have to worry about hurricanes, tsunamis or monkeys. I live right up against the front range of the Rocky Mountains so tornadoes are quite rare; they're much more common east of the mountains. I've seen a couple of them while I was at work. Earthquakes are a possibility and can occur anywhere. |

Very true, I have plenty of guns and ammunition. |
| Galomorro |
Exactly. You are so right. |
| jettles | | posted 10-Aug-2008 8:31am |
hmmm, i live in the hurricane zone and i think the only other i would choose would be tornadoes.......... No tsunamis definitely or earthquakes. |
| Cain | | posted 10-Aug-2008 12:25pm |
What's the difference between a hurricane and a tornado?
If it had to be one, I'd go with a windy place, and live in a cave. |

Earthquakes. They're easiest to dance to. |
| moviesnob | | posted 10-Aug-2008 2:28pm |
I suppose earthquakes. I've been through hurricanes and tornadoes . . . I don't know how bad earthquakes can get. And they seem less frequent than hurricanes. |
Iseult  | | posted 10-Aug-2008 4:43pm |
Tsunamis. I'd build my house on higher ground. |
| Iseult | | (reply to Cain) posted 10-Aug-2008 4:45pm |
Hurricane, also called cyclone or typhoon, is like really big and long rainstorm, with lots of wind.
Tornado is that wind that spirals up and rips everything out. |

wow a man-eating monkey!! I could feed them my sister!!! |

Infested makes me think of fleas, so maybe 'that many'. |

I like it when the earth moves under my feet! |
| cerealkiller | | posted 13-Aug-2008 6:27pm |
I'll take the earthquakes, since there is no such thing as a place infested with earthquakes. They happen rarely enough to feel them. I grew up in tornado country. Much scarier and more frequent danger. |

It was enough to wipe out power for about three or four days (we live near mountains, so there were plenty of downed power lines caused by uprooted trees). But I don't think any homes or buildings were destroyed that much--except for winds ripping off roof shingles--but it didn't get much worse than that. Was it Isabel that destroyed where you are? |
| llamamama |
Yeah. We only lost power for a few hours..But my friend who lives in a different part of the neighborhood lost her's for close to a week. We were out of school for a week..(which caused them to add 8 minutes onto our school day)..Our fence was destroyed..and a tree fell on one of my other friend's house. Some girl at school had a tree go through her house.
It was bad. It's probably safe to say that was the worst hurricane to hit my neck of the woods..At least one that I've been alive for. |
| ElvisFan67 | | (reply to llamamama) posted 31-Aug-2008 7:52pm |
Now we have Hanna to worry about. 
So do you live anywhere in the vicinity Isabel made landfall? |
| llamamama |
Well, it made landfall on the Outer Banks of North Carolina..But..it made a huge impact in the Hampton Roads area..(Which is like, 7 cities..near the coast..With like, Virginia Beach, and Norfolk being within that)..In Virginia Beach..which is 15-20 minutes away..one of the piers was destroyed..So..I wasn't right where it made landfall but I was kinda close. Oh, and sorry if you knew any of that stuff about Hampton Roads..
Yeah, and I did see the thing for Hanna..I think they think more than likely it'll go into Georgia..But the possibility is still there that it will hit us..Hopefully it won't though..To get a better idea of where I am..In the map of where Hanna might hit if it hits Virginia..that's pretty much where I am..Maybe a little closer to the coast but still..Pretty much right on top of us. |

I'm from the Charlottesville area, BTW. Have you ever been there? |
| llamamama |
No! And I really wanted to get up there this summer.

Nice country up here. Beautiful views of the Blue Ridge Mountains! |
| llamamama |
I've never been that far north/west in the state.
You ever been down around here? |
| ElvisFan67 | | (reply to llamamama) posted 1-Sep-2008 8:01pm |
The closest that way I've ever been is Richmond International Airport for an airshow back in 1977.
Also, you would be interested in knowing that I live only 40 or so miles from Staunton--which happens to be the hometown of my all-time favorite singing group--the Statler Brothers! Ever heard of them? |
| llamamama |
I've never been to Richmond either.. 
No, I've never heard of the Statler Brothers. Are they old? |
| ElvisFan67 | | (reply to llamamama) posted 2-Sep-2008 7:16pm |
Well, they retired back in 2002, but I wouldn't say they're really that old. They're the most awarded act in the history of country music. Check them out at http://www.statlerbrothers.com |
| llamamama |
Ok, I might have to check them out then. Thanks |
