- Never been in an earthquake or fire (or had one near me for that matter)... but we get winds like that here (we call em straight line winds) about once a year (or a few) to every other years since I can remember as a kid. And yeah... it doesn't get much less worrisome because trees and shat are always comin' down in them. We get a lot more tornadoes tho... which aren't as threatening to the region alone... but god help you if you're anywhere near one.
It's funny...wind is the scariest element to me.
I've been near a wildfire before, wasn't worried.
I've been near minor to moderate flooding before, wasn't (that) worried.
I've been in an earthquake before, wasn't scared at all.
But wind (derecho, tornado etc)...it puts me on edge.
