Currently Hurricane Sandy is approaching and they're talking about it on radio, but I'm broadening the topic to include all sorts of natural disasters such as tornadoes, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, bad winter snowstorms, avalanches, flooding, forest fires (even man-made) and the like.
With me the answer is yes. Happened with Hurricane Floyd back then. Dumped a bunch of rain. Was asleep and when I woke up, water was at my doorstep. A boat went around looking for trapped people. I was eventually picked up - later when I got back I learned that the water rose still higher and flooded my apartment.
I got lucky that I was evacuated and henceforth I make sure I don't live near water. Now how about you? What's your story?
