We're a pretty safe country. Aside from floods that come up quite routinely (they tend to be minor in scale, although there were exceptions), we haven't ever had any real disaster. No earthquakes, no volcanoes etc.However, roughly a fortnight ago, there was a major tornado (F-4) just ~ 50 km from where I live, and it pretty much wiped out several villages. We're not used to tornadoes at all (we get some rarely, but they don't really do any harm, maybe they rip off the roof from some shack or barn, but that's it), so that's been quite a shock...
