[speaker001:] Have you ever been in an earthquake?
[speaker002:] Yes, I experienced one when I was in Tokyo once. The tremors only lasted a few seconds though and then it was over.
[speaker001:] Do you know where it measured on the Richter scale?
[speaker002:] I don't remember, but it wasn't very serious. Have you ever been in an earthquake?
[speaker001:] No, but I was in quite a few tornados when I was younger.
[speaker002:] Where are you from?
[speaker001:] I'm from the plains of the Midwest. It's a prime location for tornadoes.
[speaker002:] Did your house ever get damaged from the winds?
[speaker001:] Most of the time we were lucky, but once a tree from our front yard was ripped out by its roots and ended up in our living room.
[speaker002:] Wow, that must have really been scary.
[speaker001:] Actually, some of my fon best memories of my childhood were of spending time with my family in the basement waiting for the tornados to pass.
[speaker002:] Have you ever experiences a flood?
[speaker001:] No, but my father's car was destroyed in a flood once. It actually happened the day after he bought the car!
[speaker002:] That sure didn't last long!
