Well, I live in Alberta, Canada - need I say more? Snow storms, hail storms, and even tornadoes. The worst was a hail storm that left about 8 inches of hail on the ground in July and created flooded basements across the city. Oh, yeah - the most memorable? It snowed on my wedding day in August of 1992!

Maybe my high school was cursed, lol. Just that i remember constantly getting rained on as a teen. It rained a lot more, back then. I would arrive at school, or home, with my hair going all frizzy from the rain, which really annoyed me, cos i hated it if my hair ever went curly. ha. well of course we sure don't want to ruin your hair lolllllll but i know how lady's react if it rains they need cover right away as for guys they don't worry about the rain as much:) i feel for you

Dozens of hail-damaged American Airlines planes remained out of service in the wake of Tuesday's powerful storm that brought tornadoes to North Texas.

My state saw the worst of the worse last year. Big ice & snow storm, then floods, then a tornado that wiped out 1/3 of my city, then drought. So far 2012 is looking great!!!!!

Yes. Live in Texas. Didn't get the tornadoes south of Dallas, but have had them bouncing around, the fires from last year, drought, the snowstorms from a couple of years ago.

Last year we set a record with 123 consecutive day over 100 degrees with no rain. It was bad weather in slow motion. This year, we got rain....everything is green but it has hit the 90's for the past three weeks..our two weeks of spring is over....summer is right on us. Suck it up troopers.

I have been through several tornado warnings/watches (raised in Nebraska)...actually slept through one as a kid. I also had a twister chase me in my car. Been in a slight "aftershock" in California. And a few tropical storms here in Florida. I think all I have left to experience is a volcano eruption.

I'm really hoping not to have that again! I miss my cattle! We squeaked through on no hay for the horses this year.

Very bad, especially with stupid people setting things on fire. Also makes it hard keeping critters fed when there's no grass!
