This week we learned that killer bees have arrived in the Bay Area, specifically Lafayette. As a kid growing up in the 1980s I remember reading how killer bees were eventually going to make there way from South America to the United States and I was scared. Now that it has happened, that got me wondering what natural event are you most afraid of?
I’ve experienced several large earthquakes and while those were pretty nerve-racking, I can’t imagine what it would be like to experience a killer bee attack, especially as a child. What if a kid is exploring in a backyard and happens to be at the wrong place and wrong time? What’s scarier than a killer bee attack?
