A couple days ago there was Tornado watches and warnings in Ohio and Michigan.. Trees uprooted and everything It was horrible. My brother lives in a mobile home with his 3 kids and he said that there was a tree next to his park that was uprooted. It was so bad. The sky was dark purple/red.. It was the scariest thing I ever seen.

Then today.. june 8th. We had another storm only lasted about half an hour or something. But it was just as bad as they other day. In my back yard there is a willow tree. Well it fell about a foot from my pool.. It was so close. I have pictures after the storm and everything.

Spoiler:


It fell on the lawn mower..

Spoiler:


and our picnic table.

Who else has had bad luck like this...

Considering I live in Michigan too, it's been storming really bad here as well. A neighbor of my friend's fence was totally pulled out of the ground and flew into my friend's pool, and a few pine trees in the field near my house actually got uprooted.

I've spent the last couple of months *clinging* to Alastor, Mck, Mel, and Arabella so they won't blow away.... the weather has been awful for them. It got pretty bad for a little while today, but it didn't last long.

My worst expereince with weather: I've had a tree fall, but luckily it fell away from my house. That was about ten years ago when a tornado almost hit right next to me house. That same day a tornado did hit in a nearby town that I was in earlier that day.
Oh, and I got caught driving in a blizzard in Colorado. That was really scary, too.

well i'm sure everybody close to or in florida remembers the hurricane season of 2004. four hurricanes in 2 months. i live in central florida and 3 went over us. no damage though

oh and then this febuary i was camping in a little pop-up in a pasture in the middle of nowhere with my parents and about 6 other families. that night we get a call from my grandma saying there's a tornado warning where we are. now this is in the middle of nowhere. the nearest house is 20 miles from where we were. so we get in our car so that we can drive away if nessisary. after the worst of the storm is over we get out to go to a motor home that one of my friends own - you could not see the ground there was so much water. any ways there was no tornado, but it was still the scariest day of my life.

This is all done by global warming. It is around 90-95.F all week in Louisville. This is not the hottest month of the summer...

well here we had a bunch of unsual thundersorms and lightnings and we had to stay inside, it was too windy too and it was too dangerous. The next 7 days forecast shows that we will have a heat wave coming towards us, temp will rise up as high as 37C
