There's already a Tornado watch here, and I just got up too...

At least I was able to go out and enjoy the calm before the storm for a bit.

Ouch. Well, I suppose we'll get storms here soon enough. At the moment, there's still half a foot of snow on the ground, though. Yet we can get some pretty nifty lightning storms here, and we've been known to have rather large tornadoes (heck, I think one in the late 80s even hit F5 for a few seconds! I remember that one, actually.) Actually, tornadoes are proabably about the only natural disaster here. And storms, I suppose, but nowadays those don't do all that much damage unless there's inordinate rainfall, which there usually isn't here.

Partly cloudy, light winds from the south, 57 degrees...spring in full bloom. I love the Pacific Northwest. =)

I grew up in Southern California. Earthquakes here, despite having the potential to be far more powerful, occur much less frequently, and, when they do, often with much less intensity. People up here make mountains out of molehills when it comes to earthquakes.

As for volcanoes, I don't live in the path of any.

Agreed. I was wide awake for the Northridge quake. Now that was a man's earthquake. Up here, from what I've been hearing, it's like a 5.0 centered half a mile off in the Sound. Why even bother having earthquakes at all at that point?
