They probably only want to include real natural disasters, not video game disasters.

Ice Storms aren't so bad.


What you really need to watch out for are Magnetic Shockwaves.

So how is it different than a blizzard anyway? It's probably just a bit too obscure to include.

Blizzards are just strong winds that move a ton of snow obscuring vision.

Icestorms is pretty much rain that freezes as soon as it touches something and thus sticks ice ****ing everywhere, and since ice is kinda heavy it causes a lot of power failures and takes down trees and stuff.

And needless to say just walking/driving after an icestorm is extremely dangerous.

ice storms would probably do worse than wildfires. which is a shame because that's the one i picked there as i'm far more frightened of my place burning down than the rest. of course as this is new york that's not really possible of happening naturally....

a blizzard is a snow storm with strong winds

an ice storm is freezing rain that creates a sheet of ice covering everything

they're... not similar except for being precipitation

The aftermath of an ice storm is also much more beautiful than any disaster.

But didn't everybody just vote for the disaster most likely to effect them where they currently live?

I mean there is no way that a blizzard is going to be worse than a tsunami if you're going to be hit by both. And it's hard to see being more scared of a wildfire than a tornado if you live in a densely populated city. I mean living in Vancouver I picked Earthquake because wit this much rain wildfires are a joke, and at this elevation (basically live on the side of a mountain) **** a Tsunami as well.

Well, yeah, if you live in Colorado, it's kind of dumb to be afraid of a tsunami.

Richmond would get rocked by a Tsunami. #PrayForTRE

Then again, I have no idea how well Vancouver Island would shelter us, so maybe it wouldn't be so bad.
