Volcanic eruption. There is just something fascinating about the lava pouring and burning everything it touches. I get these visions of what pompeii must have been like.

 Libby and I watch shows on the discovery channel every chance we get when volcanos (s or es??) are involved.

Another for tornado. Have experienced four of them (two in one day), fortunately without injury or loss of property.

Volcanoes. It still amazes me people live in their path.
Did you hear there were earthquakes in the base of Mount St. Helens? Very reminiscent of March 1980.

I said blizzard because in upstate NY that's what could happen most. We had a tornado about 5 years ago - did a nice job around 5 miles from my house.

It's hard for me to make only one choice. Having a Biology degree I must say that many of those natural disasters fascinate me. I like seismic activity but tornadoes and hurricanes fascinate me as well. I guess I'm just a freak of nature!

Dancinghomer is a meteorology student at the University of Oklahoma in Stillwater.
I would bet he picks Twisters since his favorite pastime is storm chasing.
