Worst storm you have ever been in?

Topic says it all.

This happened last year.alot of tornadoe warnings heavy wainds my trash cans ended up in the neighbors yard lighting rain thunder was really loud.It made Lance Berkman run away.during the middle of the game.

It was Cubs vs. Astros BTW (cubs lost that day)

Hurricane Isabel. It messed up all of the state pretty bad. School was out for three weeks, water was contaminated for two, no electricity in some areas (including where I lived). Jaks_Secret

Ya, I live in Orange County right by Long Beach and it was raining the hardest I've seen inawhile. My backward was flooded in less tahn an hour it seemed like.

How do you travel know?awesome3496

Don't get anything but snowstorms up in the northeast... and unlike a lot of people, I actually know how to drive in the snow and my life doesn't get disrupted...

But there was one time I was at work, inside, and in the course of two or so hours, there was a "flash" snowstorm. I walk outside to my car... and it's under two feet of snow which had fallen in less than two hours. I still drove home, and roads were completely unplowed. I was actually the first one to be driving on the road... there were literally no other tire tracks in it. :? Or car tracks, I should say, since the snow was way above the undercarriage of anyone's car.

Well, during Hurricane Katrina, we lost power for two weeks...But when I was a little kid, 5 or 6 I think, a tornado flung our front door open and you could actually see the tornada, but luckily it didn't hit our neighborhood directly.

We don't get many really bad storms in the Bay Area, so I don't really remember the last big one. We're having really bipolar weather right now though. It went from sunny to a lightning storm and back to sunny all in about an hour lol.

I was right in the middle of two of the 2004 hurricanes. Can't remember which ones; I think they were Jeanne and Ivan (on its second go-round. . .).

Since I live in Sydney I don't get any massive natural disasters so I'd say when me and my Dad were driving home from my Nans house and we were on a freeway and it started pelting down with hail and all these cars were trying to get under the bridge up ahead and they were blocking the road and everything. A few chips in the windscreen, that's about it, but sitting in the passenger seat was scary.

During the time I spent overseas in the Philippines, I witnessed quite a few storms and earthquakes. I even saw a tornado's funnel cloud start to descend from the sky and then return.

The worst storm was a Super-Typhoon, with winds that felt as though a bomb had exploded right next to you. Every bush, every tree was stripped bare - no leaves, no fruit. It made me think of the Petrified Forest.:P

Clean-up during the aftermath was exhausting, as you had huge tree branches blocking roads, and I'm certain you could imagine the rest.

I've never really been in a bad storm. The worstone wasprobably this one thunderstorm that struck down the big tree in our front yard. The scary thing was that I was sitting under that exact tree not 10 minutes before the storm hit, so if I hadn't gone inside, I would've been smushed :?

Ice storm '98. Up to 5cm of ice on EVERYTHING. It put so much extra weight on the maple out front of our house that one night it snapped right in half (~20 years old, 2' in diameter). Luckily it missed the house.

At the same time my dad was in a hospital 100km for a kidney transplant, so our grandparents drove 400km to look after us. Oatmeal cooked on the barbecue, yum :P

Hurricanes Hurricane Katrina, and the other two before it I live in the Gulf shores area in ALXD4NTESINF3RNOX

That was the most perfect storm I've ever seen. And I've seen 3 storms!

Blizzard of '94 (NY)... crazy man.

I was in the arctic-type storm that happened like two weeks ago. I was driving through Iowa and Illinois at 2am. There was so much snow and I couldn't see the road for hours. What a bad experience. I learned my lesson.

Ice storm last year. Power (heat) was out 2 days and it was boring. School was a out a week.

Ah Kentucky, where bad weather = 1 or 2 days without power.:D

in canada its all good. im surprised there are no snow storms in December and im pretty sure there is gonna be nun in this time in January. it pisses me off there is no snow. to me snow is what makes Canada eh. were did canada go? :|

EDIT: did i just write eh?

Hurricane Floyd. I think it was the only hurricane I was alive during (Where I live).

I remember jumping on my trampoline in first grade while it was going on. Fun stuff.

I've never really been in a terrible storm... there was a huge tornado a couple years ago, but it narrowly missed my town. The scariest one I've been in, though, was when I was driving in the middle of nowhere at midnight and my car slid into a snowbank/ditch. It took me a half hour to get out; otherwise I would have had to walk miles in 0 F to even be able to wave down a car to help. I was pretty scared.

Today. I was soaked in water it was so sad :cry:

The 1998 Ice Storm. Man we had no electricity or running water for nearly a week. We used up most of the firewood for the whole winter just to keep three rooms heated.

It took down the massive powerlines that came from northern quebec.

Don't have one. Basically when it rains so much that I can't see anything even with the windshield wipers at full blast that is the worst storm to me. An winter snows suck too when you're on a highway.

I've been through some pretty bad storms while I was in the Navy. Worst one was off the coast of Japan in '06.

Same for me. The winter vacation lasted a whole week longer though:P

Wow, this post really made me appreciate Kentucky's light weather from being between Southern states, Midwest states, and Northern states.

Everything tends to cancel out (for the most part).

I live across the bridge in San Pedro.
