I certainly never liked the idea of my family or people that I know in danger, but I miss thunderstorms that shook the house. By the way, people up here (western New York) can handle the snow, but they are so afraid of the sound of thunder (which doesn't happen much).
Yeah. Screw that. After living in Texas for nearly 15 years I had the following issues due to storms and weather
2007 - "Rain Bomb" dropped 20" of rain 10 miles up the San Gabriel river from my apartment and that damn creek of a river swelled up to the size of the Mississippi and trapped my in my apt while I thought it was going to wash away as the entire first floor was in the current. Flooded and totaled my vehicle too.
2010 - Lost power for 5 days after 12" of snow fell in Dallas. Couldn't go anywhere.
2011 - Got stuck in PA for damn near a week after the ice storm hit Super Bowl week when the Steelers were in at Jerry World.
2013- Lost power for 9 days when an ice storm hit Dallas. Wife was 38 weeks pregnant. Power went out in the middle of the night and we woke up to 50 degree temps in the house. Had to head to the La Quinta as the only place in town with availability and the stress caused her water to break. Ended up having c-section, spent 5 days in the hospital, still no power and cold as balls when we got out. Takin your newborn to the La Quinta sucks balls.
2015-Tornado just missed us and took out the power for a few days and we had to huddle in the living room with a portable AC to keep from melting.
2019-Horrible hailstorm wiped out my house, cars, and new pool that was still under construction. 33 minutes of golf ball sized hail. I have PSD from that crap. It was coming through the skylights at us.
Yeah, we get snow. Light and fluffy stuff that's fun to play in and easy to move. 7'+ so far this winter, but I haven't lost power, water, internet or had a cancelled day of school (Not covid related anyway) since moving here in 2020. I don't miss that crap at all.
