Out of curiosity what is the worst thing that has ever happened to you that was caused by any kind of weather. It can be from thunderstorms, flooding, snow\blizzards, or anything else.
Just please don't tell any stories that involve death. I want to see what type of weather seems to cause the most problems. Also put in where you live. Thanks for any answers.

Hurricanes, during the time I was stationed in Florida. So much damage and despair for so many people.

A few years ago we had a wicked bad snowstorm and we lost power so we used this little space heater thing that didn't have to be plugged in but it ended up causing carbon monoxide so we had to stand outside in the snow for like 20 minutes.
Also about 2 years ago we had a really big flood and school was cancelled for 2 days because it is next to a river and the football field and the parking lots flooded. People were canoing in the parking lot and jumping off the goal posts. Plus almost all my friends basements flooded and one friend lost all their electronics they keep in like the entertainment room in their basement. They lost a big screen tv, radio, etc.
BTW I live in Massachusetts

We actually move before this happened to us. OK this is what happened. When we lived in southern Louisiana our house got destroyed by Hurricane Katrina and so we had to go in the Louisiana super dome and we were smothering and burning hot because there was no air conditioning and so it was packed inside like there was going to be a game going on during this storm hit us.

IceStorm
I was in Montréal during the 98 that shut down much of Southwest Quebec, and New York state, I was in a Holiday Inn with no electricity, it is incredible how much our lives depend on electricity! Such a horrible event in my life.
