What Type of Severe Weather Have You Been In?

Just a few of major thunderstorms for me (Las Vegas, Needles, Laughlin/BHC, & Eugene).

 

hot hot heat... so hot it feelws severe!!! right now it's 103 degrees @ 9:13pm...

 

Ehhhhhhhhh....but it's a "dry heat"

 

The worst I have been in was just recently....the quarter sized hail that I thought meant the end of the world.

I was about 15 miles away from the Plainfield tornado of 1990>

 

I remember those days when I lived in Eldridge Missouri. Well over 100 degrees in the shade, and 95-100 degrees at night. Besides that a few tornado's, an earthquake, thunder storms and blizzards from hell! The usuall here in Michigan. Except the earthquake that was 18 years ago. A 3.4 or 4.3 on the richter scale, cant remember wich one. Yeah puny for California but for Michigan...well that would be like people in L.A. waking up to 4-6 feet of blowing snow in the morning. When your neighbor was cutting his/her lawn the day before.

 

You name it.

Hurricanes (in southern Georgia).
Blizzards in Minnesota.
Tornadoes in Iowa.
Thunderstorms and straight-line winds in multiple places.
Earthquakes in San Francisco.
Staggering heat and forest fires that dump ash all over everything in L.A.
Volcanic eruptions in Hawaii.
Nor'easters in New York.
Choppy seas and icebergs off the coast of Nova Scotia.
And I was in Pennsylvania during Three Mile Island and Switzerland when the prevailing wind brought the Chernobyl fumes to us.

 

Hurricanes (North Carolina and South Carolina my first was Hugo, I lived in North Carolina I could step from Tree to Tree for about a mile).
Tornadoes in North Carolina (Day of my SAT's one crossed the road right in front of my car blocking the road, I turned around and a mile back the road was blocked again.
Thunderstorms and High Winds.
Lightning stikes to my house and to a stop light I was sitting under once.
Earthquakes North Carolina...Yes we have earthquakes here...but barely.
Forest fires in North Carolina...smoke sucks.
Flash floods in VA, and in Charlotte (within the city limits)
Worse snow storm to hit Virginia in decades (I had a carload of my college buddies driving from Roanoke to Greensboro, we were to dumb/drunk to notice the interstate was closed, my front wheel drive Cavalier made it the entire way, although I'm still not quite sure of how...I do remember a few trees blocking Highway 220.)

 

Sailed through a hurricane from Fl to USVI, well not really... My parents sailed, I slept most of the time. Hey I was only 7.

Been struck by lightning a number of times while on a sailboat.

1998 in Texas, 90 straight days with no rain and highs over 100. (Killeen)

A little snow here and there in Ohio... nothing compared to some of the states up north.

Never experienced an earthquake, tornado or forrest fire.

 

I know some might not believe it but there have been tornados here in utah I have actually been around that and it is not fun crap getting thrown around.

 

It was 85F last Thursday right here along the Orange County coast. We're not used to temps that hot here... LOL

 

I have been in numerous severe thunderstorms with driving rain, lightning, hail, high winds...

Severe blizzards, high winds, sleet, ice, blinding snow... have you ever seen lightning during a snow storm? I have.

At least two tornadoes and two 'microbursts...'

I've been in extremely cold (below 0) and extremely hot (over 110) weather.

This is Kansas, after all, home of severe weather.

Oh a few tornadoes here and there, after all this is oklahoma.

 

So is the heat in your oven and that can still bake a chicken.:browani:
I am nuts though I love the heat

 

Pretty much all of this - with a bit less humidity than KS - and that was in NoDak.

Lightning during a snowstorm is AMAZING. I love severe weather.

 

I believe the technical term for the is "thundersnow"

 

I was once killed by a tornado.

 

Yeah, killed, that's the ticket, yeah, we were both killed by a Tornado while on our way to The White House to get The Medal of Honor, yeah that's right, killed. :loony:

 

I will send our over abundance of it to you this summer.

 

What are you sending Budney, Heat or Chicken????? :browani:

 

:lmao: Heat, as we don't have chickens out here. We do have plenty of quail though, it might be good fried.

 

NO CHICKENS!!!!!!!!!!! How can you have no chickens? Why wasn't I told about this. Dude, we have an overabundance of them in Miami. Give me your ship to address, and at first light, chickens will be flying!!!!!!!

 

Erik,

Sorry, I am done threadjacking, couldn't resist, here is your thread back.

Steve

 

122 Degree heat & Terrential rains is all I can say I've been through, as well as 4 degrees (which for me is COLD)!!!:O

 

You forgot about the freak typhoon that killed us on the way home.

 

Because coyotes love fried chicken.

 

My Mom once made me go out and clean her gutters in the middle of a hurricaine.

 

Thank-you I will be waiting , here in N.E. we never know what the weather will be. yesterday it was 40 and snowing all day. The normal this time of year is supposed to be in the mid 50's.
