Remember, here in the USA Yellowstone is a super volcano and I have visited it and read on the talks of what is currently going on there.

I chose earthquake because it comes without warning.

The Apocalypse is mythical, and I don't find myths scary.

Remi:
Ever been in one?
@Remi hurricanes, floods, I’ve trekked into the caldera of an active volcano, droughts happen. I’ve never faced an earthquake nor close proximity to tornado (5 miles away), and apocalypse is just a silly option.
Remi:
@NothinnXpreVails I live on the OR coast and the thought of an earthquake followed by a tsunami is pretty damn terrifying. An actual strato volcanic eruption is too. There's no escaping a Mt St Helens style eruption. Little different than hiking in Hawaii if that's what you meant.
@Remi it was Taal on southern Luzon. Since my son died, I don’t really fear anything, certainly not fear for my life or wellbeing. With my background in the geosciences, natural disasters do not frighten me. Yeah they can be deadly, but I’m not worried about them. They are just nature showing human insignificance, and I’m fine with the irrelevance. Yes, I would vacate an area endangered by natural disaster if it was of immediate danger, but fear isn’t the correct term.
