there has been a lot of weather going on. it started with the hurrican then it went to earthquakes and then on to all these thunderstorms popping up and some of them were severe. they were expecting us to get a lot of severe weather including damaging winds and big hail and a possibility for a tornado. well my area was missed by all this. it either diminished before it got here or it dropped below or above us. i hope that everyone was able to stay safe with all the crazzy weather we have been having all over..... were you affected by the weather? did you have any damages?

Hello crazydolphin. News about weather reports nowadays are scary. This year, we have so many big earthquakes. I guess we are lucky as of now here on my part of the world as we have not experienced any worse weather condition. The last that we had was in 2009, it was a rainstorm called Ondoy which killed thousands of people all over the country. The nature is taking its toll on us

I haven't experienced tornadoes yet and I could not imagine how it must feel being out there in the middle of the storm. I only watched tornadoes in the news and in movies and the big whirling mass of wind is so frightening. Do you have underground hiding place? I've seen houses on tv which have underground hiding place so in case of tornadoes, they would not get hurt. I also heard that during earthquakes and tornadoes, best place to be in is the bath tub. We must start taking care of the nature more carefully if we want the future generation to see its beauty. What I am afraid of right now is earthquake. Our country is in the ring of the pacific fire

I live in the midwest and it has been so hot here. Humidity is horrible. I have allergies so I have to stay inside and I pass out in really hot weather. I have been sick for quite a while so the heat makes me even weaker. I hate summer.

Thankyou. I have a stomach disorder that causes severe pain so I have to deal with that everyday. Ive had it for 7 years. Then I have to deal with allergies and ashma to. What a great life I have! Maybe I will have a miracle and get well someday. I love winter though! I just love the cold weather. But you can't get away from the heat. I hope you are staying cool!

wow that is a long time to have to deal with something like that. is there a way to make it better? or is there something the doctor gives you to atleast ease the pain? i will pray for you on the hopes that a miracle could happen...no one deserves something like this...i wish you all the best and i hope you feel better or as better as you can. i also enjoy the winter even tho we dont get much of winter many years. this past year it felt like we just skipped over winter. i have always said i would rather be cold where i can put more clothes on than be hot where i can only take off so much. actually today was a pretty nice day. it started off with a drizzle and then the rest of the day there has been a good breeze so it felt very good :) i hope that it has cooled down some for you!!

The weather here was pretty weird. At the start of the week we had many rains and till yesterday we were constantly switch for 20-25C degrees to chilly and rainy. Till today that the weather reached close to 30C degrees so I guess it's about time to have summer weather now :)

I just prefer the weather to be as close to normal according to the season of course :) Well usually it gets arround 33-37C degrees and sometimes even reaching around 40+C degrees, usually at July. This year though it's kind of weird since it's already close to the middle of June and the temp barely reaches 30C degrees.

I live in Northern Michigan so there is never anything really that crazy as far as hurricanes and earthquakes go but the weather has still been a little crazy. For the past couple of months it's gone from record highs in April of eighty degree weather back to snowing and it was back and forth for a while. Now we're in May and it's been raining outside for about two straight days. That's not really a big deal to me but I'm hoping to get my plants outside and started so I can get my garden rolling. I don't want to plant them out when it's going to rain all day though because the seeds were started indoors and I don't know if they can handle all the water. I hope that if you were affected by really bad weather that everything gets better for you and that others also will be able to recover as well.

that really is some crazzy weather. it was like that for us in april and may just without the snow. it was switching between hot and cold for the longest while it was hard to know what to walk out the front door wearing lol. was it raining steadily fast or slow? jw a lot of rain can be nice just not constant downpours lol. i hope that you are able to get your garden going very soon :) we did not but there were places around us in like other counties that had trees that went thro their trailors. luckily the 2 i heard about everyone was safe :)

The weather around this parts have really been nicer than most around this time of the year. It looked like a really bad thunderstorm was going to kick up right around this time a few days ago. However, there are just going to just be teasing and tormenting and just a whole lot of rain and not much else. Winds kicked up slightly, so I was prepping myself for a tornado. Of course, it is rather calm before the storm to say the very least. There are just a lot about the insanity of the weather to talk about. I see how nice the weather is around here right about now and it is rather wonderful all things considered. I am just awaiting for pretty much the other shoe to drop and it to really get some horrible weather. It is inevitable to happen. Just hoping that there will be a minimum of damage because if a bad storm kicks up where I live, there could be trouble.

where do you live? (if you dont mind me asking) here it has been more raining than usual around this time....atleast you have had some really good weather lately and i am happy to hear that the thunderstorm the other day wasnt severe or anything...i always go ahead and prepare for a tornado when they talk about severe weather. i wouldnt have before the tornado over a year ago in april but now i stay prepared :) yes there is always a calm before the storm and that is why in the middle of last week when they were calling for the severe weather around my area i got a little worried because me and my husband were outside and it was more or an eery calm than anything outside. i am also waiting for the storms to pick up again. i think it is a matter of time and the weather is getting worse on other parts of the world so i hope that everyone can stay safe.....i hope that no bad storms pick up and destory things in your area :) good luck and stay safe :)

I live in the panhandle of Florida. My daughter in law saw 13 inches of rain she lives on Pensacola side about 80 miles from us. Tuesday a friend of mine her friend lost his trailer in flooding and trees fell on it and live wires were sparking from fallen electrical poles. Fortunately he was in the hospital so no one was hurt he was 20 miles from us. Wednesday we had a troubles with tourists. They will not read the flags that tell you to stay out of the water. This lady's two daughters were playing and got caught up in a riptide. Mother went to help them and girls made it out and mother got swept under in the current and did not make it out safely. She passed away. I really wish we could get through peoples heads when they come to ANY ocean to pay attention to the flag colors before getting in water. I know thats why people come here for, but we sure would like to see the tourists leave safely too. Its still raining as I write this. Afraid to go look at the news now LOL We have not seen this much rain unless a hurricane comes through very unusual for Florida
