What Natural or Weather Phenomenon is the Most Frightening?

[FreeOnes_Adam]

Things like tornadoes, earthquakes, lightning storms, and all the fun stuff that mother nature cooks up can be pretty spooky.


Which weather or natural phenomenon spooks you the most? Imagine a tornado and an earthquake at the same time? Yikes.

First person to mention sharknado is a cock.

My most both terrifying and awesome thing was a ball of lightning that appeared in our livingroom, when I was 12. We all sat at the inner section, watching TV, and it appeared at about 5 feet height, near the window, beneath the TV, hovered for a bit, and then went to the TV, which then imploded.

The fuck? I've never heard of this before.

I've been caught in typhoons, hurricanes and cyclones (which are pretty much the same thing) whilst at sea, and I've even been in an aftershock from an earthquake. But from what I've seen I'd say a full on volcanic eruption would be the worse. A Mt St Helens and Pinitubo type thing, or god forbid the Yellowstone super volcano goes off.

Also Sharknado.


Muahahah!

Sinkholes.
Something that can swallow a house without warning is pretty damn scary.

I've always had a fear/fascination with tornadoes but thankfully, have never experienced one.

Living on the west coast of the U.S. as well as overseas all along the ring of fire for most of my life, I've experienced minor earthquakes and one major one. That's the most frightening natural phenomenon I've been through. It hits with no warning, you don't know when it's going to stop and you're waiting to be crushed at any moment and that gawd awful rumbling sound. And as it subsides that feeling that your house is floating on the open ocean. To feel the very ground beneath you rolling like waves. Oh and if you're really in the wrong place at the wrong time, the following tsunami.

I've experienced three tornadoes first hand, two hunkered down in the innermost room of a house and one while driving through a deluge at the insistence of my then significant other. Frightening is a bit mild. Terrifying, now we're getting in the ballpark. I'm sure an Earth quake is pretty close behind. I don't live near any volcanoes, but that would fuck up anything anywhere close to it. The thing with tornadoes is that their path of destruction is small compared to other natural events, but anything in it's path is pretty much mincemeat.

Hmm tornados

 

[Jack Davenport]

Hurricanes, because they also include tornadoes

I would have to say a major earthquake. No warning, no way to know when it is going to end, no way to know how structurally sound anything is immediately afterward.

Well living in the UK it's a pretty frightening thing when the sun comes out.
