My only experience with one was when a tornado hit my old town in Texas in March 2022, a couple months before I moved. It was part of a larger outbreak across Texas that day that I don’t think took any lives, luckily. Though my town was located very much in the storm-ridden Tornado Alley part of central Texas, we hadn’t seen a tornado in something like 76 years. It was pretty scary, I think it was an EF2. I’d been following the Weather Channel’s live coverage of the outbreak, when they announced that a funnel cloud and formed and touched down near the interstate in my town a few miles away. My family turned on the local news as they started tracking it. It hit a shopping center we frequently passed, flipping several cars, damaging a Chili’s, and ripping the wall out of a bank. It continued on, mostly through the woods, and my brother and I started freaking out as it went closer towards our neighborhood. My dad moved the car from the driveway into the garage, and we all went into the laundry room, the only windowless room in the general center of our house’s ground floor (the soil is too rocky for basements in central TX). The tornado hit a waterpark resort about 10 minutes from our house, and came within a half-mile or so of our house. We were freaking out, my dad was trying to calm us down, but then the news said that it shifted direction and started moving to the east. It tracked into the town over, hitting little else along the way. It continued for maybe 20 more minutes before taking out a Doppler radar station and dissipating. Some power lines were down and there was some other damage, but we were otherwise fine. It was pretty cool in retrospect.
(this is completely goofy compared to everything else in this comment section, but it did say any experiences)
But when i was in singapore, we were in class, and there was an earthquake in malaysia (or indonesia maybe ) and it was so strong that we felt it in singapore, so the classroom started shaking so we all went under our tables while the teacher was asking the teacher next door what was happening and we all (but not me) thought we were gonna die but it was really nothing
Then I returned home. So, that's cool I guess.
Technically an earthquake as well, but it was a small tremor and doesn't really count. Also lots of hail and thunderstorms
I'm not even talking about the heatwave anymore, 40°C (104°F) is reached every year now...
(I'm using a translator).
hail is crazy
