Volcanoes.
They're a combination of earthquake, mudslide and fire. What's not cool about THAT??

Tornadoes are interesting to me, but having been through a few they are very scary to me too. Pretty much, that list is a bunch of my different nightmares, particularly the floods/flood-related

None. And does no one see the "regardless" in the flood selection yellow-underlined?
My computer obviously has some sort of virus.
I'm so sick of natural disasters that NOT A ONE could possibly fascinate me.

I would bet he picks Twisters since his favorite pastime is storm chasing. |
This is me being extremely mad 
You confused OU with OSU  (I'm on the right)
I did pick tornadoes...Although I'm awfully interested in (and kind of scared of) earthquakes/volcanoes...and I'm wanting to be a hurricane hunter...
But, there's nothing like being within a 1/2 mile of a tornado.

Tornado for me. When it storms really bad and we are under a tornado watch, I just can't help but sick my head out the door to see what's happening.

I picked hurricanes, since its a two-fer. You get the flooding and winds (like the kind that prompted me and Go to stay home today and clean/wet-vac our basement), plus the tornadoes once the hurricanes spin off onshore. I remember one twister that came right thru downtown Houston and it went right thru a fancy restaurant. One half of the place was totally destroyed, the other half of the dining room was left perfectly intact, not a glass, piece of silver, or napkin out of place.
That's just cool.
