have you ever gone threw a tornado or a hurricane

[Liquidfire_43]

I do not live next to the shores, ocean, or areas prone to flooding, so I never got hit by a hurricane or tornado.. Maybe a little heavy rainfall and heavy snow in the northeast, but nothing that destroys or knocks out power

we went through hurricane hugo over 20 years ago, it almost destroyed our house, left us without power for almost 2 weeks.  hopefully we'll never have to go through it again!

I live in Southern MS and have been through quite a few hurricanes. Some were not so bad and some were devastating. I was lucky enough to have a high and dry house however my daughter and son-in-law lost everything in one of the hurricanes. Our lives are what's most important and that's why we evacuate when told to.

I get up in Houston and fun we had lots of hurricanes.  The streets would flood and you could get stranded...

I have never been in either.  I have been in a couple of big earth quakes.

I drove by one the other day going to GA. All I hit was some rain for 2 hours and then the sun came out.

I live in "Tornado Alley" and up until this spring I've been through various watches and warnings, but have never been significantly close to one. Back in March an EF-2 tornado passed about two miles south of my apartment complex. It got dark and scary outside as the storm moved in, but thankfully it touched down in a more rural area and didn't damage too many buildings.

I haven't been inside a tornado, but there have been a few times that a tornado has come close. My parents lost a motor-boat from a strait-line wind that was so powerful, it was able to flip the boat and blow it out to the middle of the lake.

A close call in distance but it turned and went the other way.  Thank goodness. I was at a dance recital for my niece.  The dance instructors came on stage & announced all the dancers were safe in the basement...they directed parents & grandparents for 100 little girls out of an auditorium and down to the basement.  Keep calm!  Yeah right.

I lived on the island of Galveston Texas and went through a hurricane. I was packing up to move to Texarkana when we got the news. I luckily got out before it got too bad n the island but by the time I hit Houston the flooding was nearly impossible to drive in. Another hurricane later destroyed much of the seawall attractions, but thankfully Tillman Fertitta came through with his Pleasure Island plans and from what I hear is quite fun and back to normal. I'm hoping it stays that way. Eventually I'll make the trip back to revisit the sites that enjoyed while living there as well as all the re-built and new ones.

I've been through a few hurricanes in my lifetime and almost once a tornado but thank goodness it was in the distance and not coming in my direction at the time.  I think tornadoes are much worse than hurricanes to be honest.

[schoolvan]
