Terrorist attack? Not in my backyard! Well, if you don't count 1995 and 2001.

Major city being wiped out by flood? Never! Well, unless you count Katrina.

Volcano? HA! Well, unless you count Mount St. Helens.

Major economic meltdown? Didn't you see the malls before Christmas?!? Yeah, until you start enumerating all of the industries in line for a bail-out.

And now I realize that there are a number of people here on FF who weren't even alive when Mount Saint Helens darkened the skies way back when. I was in elementary school in Illinois when the mountain blew, and the ash turned the bright morning sky dark for hours.

Mt. St. Helen's- I was a working girl :) - Hurricane Agnes hit the summer we moved - stalled all sewers- eww. Glad we got out of there to higher grounds.
