Lessee... notable bits: Seen Mt. St. Helen's valve off steam, and I think this was while the lava dome was growing, too...
Seen a flood in action, several times... the first one was the most memorable, though, because I saw it from 1,000 feet... straight down. My da took us up in his new airplane... we saw where it flooded out the log cabin where Davy Crockett was born. (Which is not on a mountaintop atall, but on the banks of the Nolichucky River.)
Also seen several glaciers and a caldera (Crater Lake, OR) from the comfort of my airline seat....
The courtyard of the English building (Skiles) at Georgia Tech is full of ginko trees.
Vacationed on both the Outer Banks and Georgia's Golden Isles. Took the ferry across Okracoke Inlet.
First earthquake I ever felt was *east coast*; we were about 50-60mi from the fault at Middlesboro, KY.... was also in a mini-aftershock from Loma Prieta, and in Nisqually... and that four-spot from up on Kitsap the other night.
Seen both Continental Divides; most often between Tennessee and North Carolina. Other crossings near Albuquerque and near Bozeman, MT.
Witnessed both ends but not the totality of a total eclipse of the sun in 1983(?); we were taking a Latin quiz during totality. (dammit!)
kendaer, jenkitty and I got to see the Persieds in... 2002? wow. Don't think it quals for a full "storm", but it was pretty intense.
Never got hit straight-on by a full-house hurricane, but have been in edges and aftermaths; drove out of the edge of Gordon in '00, weathered Opal as a TS in '98, among others...
I *think* I've seen noctilucent clouds.
Oh, and I've seen a tornado from a distance, twice.

Riddle me this... how does one go aurora hunting?
