The first year I arrived here I couldn't believe it! A tornado!!!! :scared:

I remember it being shortly after we got our kittens and they were behaving strangely, then I looked outside as it was getting spookily(<---does that word even exist? -lol-) dark at almost 1 in the afternoon.

These people are walking over the bridge and pointing!! I'm scared stiff with my nose behind the curtains thinking "I should have done this...should have done that before I die!"

It was merely a water tornado whipped up after the wind got really bad during a heavy thunderstorm.

Then again I have always had nightmares from childhood about tornadoes...I blame 'The Wizard Of Oz' meself

I don't think either pose much threat in Calgary, although I hear there is alot of tornado activity north of the city.

I have experienced both, and I must say going through a Tornado was MUCH scarier than an earthquake.
Anyway, it always depends on the severity of the storm or the quake in question. When they're bad, the results can be devastating.
