Check all that apply.

Oops. This should allow multiple answers. Will someone please fix it for me? Thanks.
 
Okay, I voted too soon. Well, the aurora was fairly common where I grew up. Some nights it could be really incredible. A small tornado ripped the roof from my poolhouse about six years back. I saw it coming, but was hiding when it got here. Ball lightning a couple of times. Phosphorescence in the woods at night. An 85% eclipse, though I would like to see a total one day. I was actually in a 4.2 quake in AZ once, but since I slept through it I don't think that counts. It would be cool to see a volcano, but not too close. Rode the bike up to Mt. St. Helens in '83. Wow.....
 
Aurora Borealis all the time. Been through several quakes, but nothing a Californian would have looked up from his newspaper for. Several eclipses.

As for Tornadoes, Volcanoes, there's a reason I like montreal so much. They don't get any.
 
Only an eclipse.

I've seen the effects of tornadoes pretty soon after they came through, but didn't see the tornado itself.

I notice you didn't put hurricane on the list... I've seen plenty of them. :)
 
Phosphoresence, tornado, eclipse (two total that I can recall).

Of all of those, phosphoresence was the most spooky and fascinating.
 
Seen eclipses both solar and lunar.
Been on a few earthquakes, i don't feel the weak ones anymore, and i still remember the 1985 Mexico's earthquake.

don't know what "Ball Lightning" means, and as for phosphorescence isn't that commonly produced by some substances for sale anywhere?

btw, you missed an option for "falling stars shower" (or something like that), which i also have seen twice.
 
btw, i think (could be wrong) there's no option to make the poll multiple choice once it is made. you might want to consider making a new thread.
 
OH yeah, there was a point to this thread, wasn't there.

I've seen three tornados, one as it passed directly over the house I was in. :eek: The other two were in the distance, probably 2 to 5 miles away.

And I've seen both lunar and solar eclipses.

Meteor shower... those are cool. I've seen a couple of them too.

The solar eclipse I remember was when I was very young. Obviously, I didn't look directly at it, but I remember it happening and people talking about it.

The lunar eclipse I've seen happened a few years back. It was pretty neat. We were standing outside the house late at night looking at it when we heard someone coming down the street (we lived closer to town then). It was a guy and girl. The guy was wearing a cat-in-the-hat hat and carrying a six pack. The girl was someone I recognized because she drove a roach coach and had delivered food on construction sites where I worked. Her name was Kitten. They stood there and looked at the eclipse with us for a few minutes and then moved on.

It was just a little surreal.
 
The Aurora Borealis- Very faint in the mountains once. It very rarely makes it down this far south, and if it does, its never clear to see it
Phosphorescence - Closest is lightning bugs :D
Ball Lightning - Maybe once....couldn't quite confirm that it was indeed ball lightning
A Tornado - At least one or two a year in person. Quite a rush to see one in a car, and even bigger rush when you're out camping. :)
An Earthquake - tremors, but nothing truely definable as an "earthquake"
An Eclipse - partial in 6th grade. I think it was 65%
 
aurura borealis and an eclipse.

never seen phospherence.

earthquakes and tornados aren't a big problem in the northeast.

BTW, still cant vote fpr multiple answers

luis is right, there is no editing the number of poll options you can respond to once the choice hsas been set. sorry
 
we hold you responsible for that, mr rw-mod :p

seen a vulcano, an eclipse, a tornado, but never aurora borealis :(
and why not put aurora australis in the poll? :D
