With the present bitter cold hitting the East Coast on North America, people are complaining about how terrible cold is. While I admit even I, who loves cold, can very cold with the wind and dampness around Washington, D.C., cold is usually very easy to handle. I just put on extra layers and, as long as the temperature feels about -15/-20 Celsius it can be managed easily. Plus, sleeping in a colder room is very comfortable, especially if you have a special someone .

However, I absolutely can't stand heat. My metabolism is high so I naturally yield a lot of heat. Whenever the temperature is "too" high, I sweat buckets. It's very inconvenient at work; I mean, I just got out of the shower and I'm still sweaty! It's especially bad at night, where I believe I can feel what menopausal women feel (my bed sheets aren't soaked in sweat, but I am). Plus, even by stripping it all, I'm still hot.

As for the other extremes, I've never really experienced them. There was a strong 6+ earthquake in Quebec City circa 1989, but it's nothing like what California or Haiti experienced. I was also far enough from major rivers so I've never experienced flooding.

I used to live in Florida, and some of you may know that hurricanes are common there. In my time that I live in Florida, I've been through 3 hurricanes. However, I don't remember much of them since I was only a small child. Also, Summer is coming up, so those of you in hurricane zones, be safe.

I chose drought because of the dust bowl. The dust bowl was a natural that lasted for years. It consisted of frequent dust storms and those very dust storms took peoples lives and wrecked houses.
