have you ever gone threw a tornado or a hurricane

[yisa]

I have never been through either and I am thankful for that.

[ktheodos]

After effects of hurricanes mostly...and apparently when I was really young I experienced a tornado close by, but I don't remember it...I have also been through a couple minor earthquakes

[NicoleFusion]

I have been through three hurricanes, but they were all minor, thank goodness.

[ghunter]

No, I have not and I hope by the grace of God I don't ever have to.

Went through Hurricane Agnes in '72. Lots of evacuations in my town. We've been pretty lucky since then, only a couple floods but no major hurricanes.

Two years ago, there was a tornado warning. Since we never had tornados hit this state very often, especially living in the mountains, no one was worried. We had one hit 7 miles west of us but it was only an F1. Two years ago, the warning was a bit more serious.  The winds really picked up and I thought for sure we would lose a tree with the force of the wind, but no destruction where I live, yet a mile away, it took out a mountain of trees and some house roofs in a small housing development.  The trees are still lying on the mountain there as a reminder.

There have been a couple of hurricanes that have gone through where I live.  Also a tornado went through a couple of years ago, but I was out of town.

When I was a kid, we had a tornado go through our farm.  We lost a few smaller out buildings and many trees.  We were lucky.....Mom sent me to the basement with my younger siblings.  I was 12 or 13 years old.  My brothers were in the barn starting to milk the cows.  My Dad, Grandpa, and sister were in the field baling the straw I had spent the morning raking.  Mom went to get my Dad, Grandpa and sister in a pickup. A shed almost hit the pickup.  She brought Grandpa and my sister home.  They couldn't find Dad......he walked home on his own awhile later.  It was scary listening to glass breaking upstairs and hearing the wind.  Daylight turned to Blackness in a moment.  We were very fortunate to all be safe.

yes on both. a small tornado went through area several years ago and luckly we didn't have a lot of damage,   Hurricane Sandy went through our area also,,,,,  mostly wind damage and had no electric for 12 days.  Thank goodness for generators    that was the worst 12 days we ever went through

[plennis]

No, luckily I have not.

[adriarobi]

i have been in two.

One I was in my apt bldg, in bed. Long time ago, before good weather warnings.

Had the window open for a breeze, thought I heard a train where there were no tracks.

When I woke up the next day, the apt bldg next to us has their outdoor stairs blown away.

We were fortunate.

 

[sanglee]

no but i would wonder why anyone would build another home or community in the same neighborhood

13 years ago my Granddaughter and her husband went to mrytel beach in SC.  They went a day before we left and by the time we got to the city limits they evacuated because of a hurricane was coming in.  So we just like a couple of miles before we got to the beach and had to turn around and head back home.  Hope everyone has a good day and may God bless each of you and keep you safe.

I've seen several hurricanes. I worst one I seen was Andrew in the early 90's It destroyed hundreds of homes in Homestead Florida. It was awful, We were out of power for a couple of weeks No water we had to stand in line to get drinking water and food.

I've had my share of hurricanes, definitely not an easy experience. most scariest was hurricane Gilbert, during my childhood days.

We've been through a ton of Tropical Storms. The worst was TS Allison in 2001. Then we dealt with Hurricane Ike in 2008.
