Have you ever been a victim of a natural disaster?

Being storm chasers we often come across damage areas and witness the destruction and seeing those who lost everything, but have you ever been a victim of a natural disaster?

I have, twice. Back in the early 90's my family has twice lost everything due to flooding. The first time we had about 6 feet of water in our house and lost everything we owned.

So in a way, I can relate to victims of tornadoes because I know what it is like to lose everything.

So with that, have you ever been a victim of a natural disaster?

Joey, I too have been victim of two floods first one March 2008 then another October 2009 Here in Newport, AR. White River flood stage is 21' River went to 34' in 2008 then 29' in 2009. It isn't much fun with the cleanup afterwards. Still cleaning up from the last one. I too can relate to victims of other natural disasters and my heart goes out to all of them.
