Another time was i went to school early one rainy morning and went to the band room. So me and about 50 people are in there and talking before school starts(we would do it every day) and when the 15 min.-to-get-to-class-bell rang, we go out into the hall and everyone is in tornado positions and were all like WTF? The teachers wig out and say get down and hurry and bla, bla ,bla. Turns out the band room was too loud to hear the siren and they called it about a minute after i got to school. If i had been 5 minutes late I would have heard over the radio and not gone to school and went to my aunts resturant. Turns out that the f2 twister went by there by about a half mile. I could have saw a twister. So i am never going to go to school early again.

EDIT: You'll have to excuse what was said above, I hadn't seen where it was headed for awhile. The last time I checked it had it going for the panhandle of florida and now it's already making landfall at the tip as a TS. So it probably won't be a hurricane or a TS for much longer.

I live in the Volusia/Flagler County area, and I had not checked the weather for a couple hours until they downgraded it, so basically they were full of shit when they said it was going to hit with 50+ winds. The biggest gust we have had so far is 15, and that was for like six seconds....Mesier where do you live? It ain't gonna be a tropical storm for long when it gets into the gulf,the waters are only about 1-2 degrees cooler then they were for katrina.

I have quite a few weather-related stories, including about a dozen close misses with tornadoes. I used to live west of Chicago, so it was not surprising to see the sky turn green and to hear sirens go off. In fact, before I was born, a twister roared right down the middle of my future street.
However, tornadoes have touched down near where I've stayed/lived three times in the Northeast, which is rare. Eastern MA, eastern Long Island, and here in northern NJ. The most recent hit Bergenfield, about a mile and a half from my house.
For hurricanes, Floyd was the worst in this area, not due to wind, but to two feet of rain in 4 days. That caused flooding at the 25 year mark. Hurricanes are rare here, but we usually get the leftovers of systems that make landfall down south.
The worst storm I've seen was an extremely violent thunderstorm that stalled over the county for nearly 2 hours. When a microburst sits over you for that long, trees go down in just about every other yard.

I almost got stuck by lightning twice in one day. Huge storm and we were in a parking lot and all of a suddent everything went white and BOOM!! I had hit the other side of the lot (about 500 feet away). Then later same thing.
Dude, if you flew 500 feet then you must have landed on your head...

I think he meant it hit 500 feet away. Flying 500 feet would be ridiculous, even for the internet, nevertheless saying he did it twice.

I can still remember being holed up in my bathroom for 6 hours during Hurricane Charley. Now that was a 'cane. That is not something I want to go through again.

I know it's nowhere near being as disastrous as a hurricane, but that's all that the Northern Midwest has to offer. Nonetheless, the storm was still dangerous. Anyone who has had to drive in unplowed winter conditions will know what I'm talking about. Two inch sheets of ice on the road's surface. Of course, I was too young to drive in that storm, but it's difficult enough with our average blizzards. That would have been a nightmare.
So there's our meteorlogical diversity lesson of the day. Water is just as dangerous in its frozen state.
