Mother Nature is scary!

In your opinion, what is the scariest thing created by mother nature?

Hmm, I think the only thing I have to worry about here is earth quakes. But I think a tsunami or a tornado would be much more scary if I was face to face with one.

Hurricanes. Just look at the death and destruction caused by Hurricane Katrina.

Do hurricanes happen often in your area?

Pfft. The sun's not scary, silly.

Fire, though... Eek.

even a miniscule amount of jellyfish venom can cause the heart to seize up and stop.

While no official tallies exist, anecdotal evidence suggests dozens of people and perhaps more than 100 or more die each year from the many species of box jellyfish that exist in all oceans.

Some 20 to 40 people die from stings by box jellyfish annually in the Philippines alone, according to the U.S. National Science Foundation. "But because death certificates are not required in many countries within the range of box jellyfish, worldwide fatalities from box jellyfish may be seriously underestimated," the NSF states.
