This. I worry about health more than anything else, I guess.

The stupidity of people with their hands on the buttons worry me more than any of these. Let's face it, none of the listed scenarios are something we can do anything about. If I were a religious man, I'd probably just say that it was our time to go.
In the greater scheme of things, then they're actually all events that continuously change the surface of our planet, for better or worse. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

 Seriously, none of the three poll choices Still, a few years ago I was in Germany in the Eifel mountains, where's there are many dead and sleeping volcanoes. The ground rises each year a few millimeters, there are a few geysirs which we visited, and you see the traces of volcanism everywhere, and there's a super volcano (Maria Laach) which is said to have stones being erupted as far as Sweden and Italy long ago. If the Maria Laach volcano erupts, all of Belgium and the southern half of the Netherlands could be covered under a layer of ashes. During these holidays, my wife and I saw the film 2012, about the eruption of the Yellowstone caldera, which is supposed to be the biggest supervolcano ever. I must say, the combination was pretty wild, the movie and being in an actual supervolcano area. Still, chances of a super volcano erupting during our lifetime is pretty low.

were getting bees in the house for weeks. Normally I wouldn't have
destroyed a nest but this was seriously unacceptable.

Auburn is on a lahar zone, but it'd have to be one big lahar to reach this far out... and the off shore earthquake is quite illusive, they say the juan de fuca fault has slipped sometimes in 250 year intervals, and sometimes in 800 year intervals, but I believe the average is every 350 years.
