Overall I'm going to say that hurricanes suck the most.  They last a long time, do damage via wind AND water, and damage so widely that it takes vast amounts of materiel coming from far away to fix it.

I'd say as far as their power to devastate I agree, Hurricanes are the worst.  But they they are not threatening to humans at all really unless you are a complete and utter moron.  Tornadoes and earthquakes strike without warning and if you get caught up in one there's no way to avoid it.  Hurricanes on the other hand are forecast weeks in advance.  They move very slowly, so if a one is headed in your direction just get out of the way.  The cyclone of a hurricane can produce winds up to 160 mph or greater, but the storm itself moves only about 3-4 mph.  If push came to shove you could out walk a hurricane.

I live 70 miles from the coast.  We had a major hurricane hit here in 2008.  At it's peak it had sustained winds of 115 mph, but by the time it reached me it had died down to about 75 mph, which is pretty hellacious, but not threatening enough to make me leave my home.  I had some damage and lost power for three weeks, but it I weathered the storm well.  I wouldn't have stayed home if I lived down on the coast though.  Galveston got beat all to hell.

I thought the key to avoiding tornadoes was to not live in a trailer park?

I love that there's a video. what, do some people need to see demonstrative proof? or is it a really tough concept and they just don't get it unless they can watch someone pour a glass or wine?

Earthquakes are basically overrated and they are for a very basic, very important reason.

There are two kinds of earthquakes.

"Oh, that was all? That was nothing, that's funny." AND "Holy fuck, all the shit in my house is destroyed and here comes FEMA."

I've felt a dozen earthquakes and they were all so mild they were comical.

I definitely think that for it to no longer be comical, it would have to be strong enough to be tragic and that wouldn't be cool at all.

Quoted for truth.
Paul, the mild earthquakes are pretty fun. I still get scared, but afterwards when there is no damage, I am secretly pleased and think that they are kind of fun. I would shit myself if there was one of the, "Holy fuck, all the shit in my whole neighborhood is destroyed and here comes FEMA" earthquakes.

Isn't papaya full of weird/good digestive enzyme stuff?  I've seen these supplements before in health food stores.  (Side note - what is up with this company's name?  Don't have "anus" in your companies name unless that is your only deal.

Papaya is good, and good for you, just don't DON'T ever eat that stuff like it's watermelon.

On this you must trust me.

I love papaya raw with a lime. It is fuck*ng magical. I wish I lived someplace where it was fresh and reasonably priced. But you are right, you can't eat mad amounts of papaya right off the bat unless you are used to eating lots of fruit all the time.

In that order though? I love bananas but have to keep them as a breakfast food and apple as my go to day snack, they just travel so much better.

Oh I could just go a nectarine. They'll be in season again soon enough.
