Earthquakes, tornadoes etc. are hit and miss. This is one of the main

I got hit by one. Were you in TN the year the tornado blew right
through downtown Nashville? I think it was '96.

I was in the Batman building when it hit. Fortunately, that was
about the safest place I could have been at the time. They knew it
was coming, and they broadcast an alert about 10 minutes in advance.
Everyone was sent to the interior of the building. That's one big,
sturdy building.
