Tornadoes as a child in Michigan (1956 Standale tornado http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/April_1956_Hudsonville-Standale_tornado ) and earthquake as an adult in Southern California (1971 Sylmar/San Fernando EQ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1971_San_Fernando_earthquake )

Frankly, I don't much care for either one!
