I just heard on the news that there was a 7.1 earthquake in the southern island of New Zealand. I hope Chrischb and Jonathanpb are ok

Yep. Born in New Zealand, moved when I was one, came to America, lived in Missouri for a year, came to Texas. So I refuse to say "Ya'll" or "Howdy" (which by the way, most Texans don't).
Anyway, back on topic.

The biggest natural disaster I've expierienced weas a servere flash flood in July this year. Me and my family were driving home from a mall in Milwaukee when all of a sudden, it started raining REALLY hard, and then the water became 7 inches high. We made it home safetly, and no damage was done to my house. And right now, I hope Chrischb and his brother are okay!

I almost got hit by earl! i never encountered a hurricane, but its calmed to a category 1 by now, and is much less of a threat.

It's interesting to see our amount of concern for other Scratchers :')
XD
Anyway, I've been in a hurricane before. But it was a wimpy one, so I hardly even remember it. (Then again, I was only around seven
)

Its good when instead of worrying about the bad things in life, we see the good in other people and ourselves. ^^

Kentuckians don't do much more than leave the "g" off words unlike some beliefs. XD
Seriously, the press picks IDIOTS when they show us on TV.

Is that sarcasm?
And we don't ride horses to school either.
Anyway, we need to keep this on topic. We don't want mods closing it.
