The one you will never see coming. That's why it's usually a disaster.

However, I will address a few possible known and common disasters in Paul's answer below.

So a new question. What is the threat you see coming?
Honestly, both of you are smarter than this.

Paul, you have been alive long enough to see disasters all over the world, over and over again, where people were left without power, food, or water for a while. Be it floods, winter storms, grid failures, tornadoes, hurricanes, earth quakes, disasters (threats) happen ALL THE TIME and often without warning. The fact that it hasn't happened to YOU yet is just dumb luck.

This does not even take into consideration a possible currency collapse. If history teaches us anything, it is that chances are very high that it's going to happen again, as it has happened over and over throughout the history of mankind. If you want to see how that may pan out and what possible disaster it could bring, spend some time researching Argentina's crash. It just may save your life.

I'm honestly starting to think most of you do not know a lot about world history, currency, or economics. Because if you did, you wouldn't make 1/2 of the comments you do. History ALWAYS repeats itself.
