What kind of extreme weather do you have where you live?

On the eastern seacoast, we get what they call Nor'Easters, which are extreme rainstorms with high winds, (hazardous to ships and boats). We get the occasional hurricane, but not often.

Our period of very hot weather is short,(two months of the year),but it can be 95 to 98 degrees at times and VERY humid. I suppose the snow is the worst for us.

Once, my car slid backward down a very small hill covered with ice, and jammed backward into a 14 foot high snow drift. I was lucky I carried a snow shovel in my car. I was able to dig myself out. I couldn't wait for AAA because my feet were freezing, and I couldn't run the car without the windows open because there was snow jammed up the tailpipe.

Michigan is pretty much the same, in fact we seem to get Chicago's weather a day or so removed here in the southern part of the state.
We also get warm spring rains, sunny warm days, and gorgeous sunrises and sunsets too, liberally sprinkled in amongst the storms. 😏

We rarely have extreme conditions like that (France). Here are today's U.S earthquakes! Seismology is interesting to study.

Tornados one went though a few miles from the house and killed a few people and done a lot of damage, if someone says you can't have another tornado follow the same path it had 30 earlier they are wrong, that's what happened. First one in 74 the second in 2011

Fire stormes

@mamabear41 Chicago had in January 1994 extreme cold snap temperatures was 22 below and in July 1995 an extreme heat wave i remember both of them

I live in Pennsylvania. So it depends how severe you were talking about. But we do get severe weather.

Too many floods during rainy season, and too much heat wave during sunny season

We have no extremes here. Just annoying wind almost all year round.

That's why I love Illinois

Hurricanes and floods

[c=#BF0000]You've got the best of both worlds. There's just extreme heat here close to 45 degrees Celsius (currently 43) in summers with occasional thunderstorms. And never lower than 10 degrees Celsius in the winter so it's extremely boring[/c]

Hurricanes where I am at

You got it easy. Here we have 12mph winds. Rain. More rain. And hail stone the size of peas.

It's not extreme, just changeable. You can't really plan anything, even a couple of hours ahead.

Tornados , droughts , temps over 115 and below zero , flooding , blizzards

weather will get worse

Heat. Especially dry heat


45 degrees Celsius.

We have Hurricanes here.

African drought.
