I've seen the aftermath of various larger ones,but that is kind of my job,so it doesn't count.

And I got married on the day on the day my wife's hometown was hit by the Central European summer floods. We didn't notice much, though,thanks to fabulous staff at the venue.

I experienced a few local ones, though - an avalanche, a thunderstorm in the alps that had torrential gusts of 180km/h and killed a few people (and we were in a very exposed spot-that was fucking scary) - one person died a mere 800m away from us (but we didn't know and would not have any means to get there in time anyway, as it was 600m vertical rock between us and he died on the spot).
