 Have you ever been in a natural disaster?

Tom, U.K.
I was in a typhoon (тайфун) in Hong Kong, and I just arrived with a big heavy backpack (тяжелый рюкзак), and I had to hide (спрятаться) in a telephone box while the street flooded (улицу затопило) and the water came up (подымалась) around me.

Jess, U.K.
Natural disaster (стихийные бедствия)? No, I haven't been in a natural disaster. Unfortunately (к несчастью) I was very close to a bomb which went off (взрываться) in Manchester when I was about sixteen years old, which was quite scary (жутко, ужасно), but probably not as scary as a tsunami (цунами) or a typhoon or something.

George, U.S.
Oh, yes, yes. I have been in a natural disaster. I forget what year but Hurricane (ураган, тропический циклон) Yuniki in Hawaii, but I lived on Ohau so we got the eye of the hurricane (внутри урагана) so it wasn't like harsh (жестоко, сурово) at all. In fact, I remember when it hit (ударять), I remember telling my parents, I wanted to go out (пойти на улицу) and fly a kite (запустить воздушного змея) because it looked so nice outside, so it wasn't really that bad of an experience (опыт) for me.

Pernais, Jamaica
Yes, I have. I've been in a fire. A really big one actually. It was just very scary (жутко, ужасно). There was just smoke (дым) everywhere, and I couldn't see anything. My eyes were hurting (болели). I was choking (задыхаться), and I really thought I was going to die, but I was rescued (меня спас) by an old man passing by (проходил мимо).

Mike, Singapore
OK, have I been in a natural disaster? Well, I've actually seen one happen while I was driving, and this was along I think the coast (вдоль побережья). I think it's called the Pacific Ocean Highway, if I'm not wrong. Anyway, there was in December 2004 I think, it was ... there was a big landslide (обвал, оползень) during the raining season (сезон дождей) in Los Angeles, and while I was driving I actually saw it, and then I didn't know what was damaged (что было повреждено), but it was all over the news, and then it was bad.

Doron, U.K.
Yeah, actually, I was staying with friends in Norway and we were camping (жить в лагере) and we got hit by a blizzard (накрыла снежная буря) and it was really frightening (страшно), but luckily I was with some big Viking Norwegian (норвежские викинги) guys, and they knew exactly what to do, because I didn't. It was really ... you couldn't see anything. It was so white and the snow was so heavy and it actually hurt quite a lot, and it didn't help that it was absolutely freezing (было очень холодно, замерзало).
