      Oh that’s an exciting question! I was struck by three consecutive storms while at sea! There was hurricane force winds – heavy rain and winds – which caused some massive waves: 30 ft swell crashing into our boat! Can you imagine? these waves were higher than the boat so they just swallowed us whole every time :O It was scary and we thought the boat would tip over, but looking back now it was really exciting time!

      I was once in an earthquake in Kenya. Though we were in a small house at the time and it wasn’t as serious as some around the world it still felt very weird! It was caused by a volcanic eruption over 200miles away from where we were and we still felt it! Scary feeling watching everything shake!
