What do you do during severe weather?

HI THERE, i'm sorry to hear y'all are having bad weather. T HAT WINDY CITY IS GOOD FOR THAT, HUH ESPECIALLY in the winter. We have alot of bad weather here in Tennessee to especially this time of the year. I USUALLY JUST STAY IN IF I'M ALREADY IN& I am in more than i'm out .NO, thank heavens i have never experienced floating. U stay safe.

I live in Sicily and here there aren't many severe weather. Here the winter is not long and in summer we have 40/45 degrees!! Maybe the severe weather here is in summer because it is very hot and we are not good... we need to be always in the sea, inside the water, or in the building whit the air conditioner, like supermarket, shops or... our house!! Sometimes in winter it rain a lot, but only for any days, and we stay at home and we go out only to buy food. Of course i stay in my pc!!! :-)

Hi, Pola! Here in Miami we have severe weather warnings just about every day at this time of year. I try to stay indoors until it passes, if at all possible. Driving becomes unnecessarily dangerous. We also get reminders not to drive through the flooded streets, since there's no way to know what's under that water. Right now, it's afternoon storm time. Soon, it will be morning storm time. Since we get well into the 90s, when the rain stops it's gone very soon, and out we go!

Hello there. Im in westminster, colorado. Outskirts of denver. Normally here we dont have tornados. Strangely enough from june 1st to the 10th for 10 days in a row we had multible tornados everyday. Since most were coming up during the evening if i had to go out i would go as early as possible and get home before storms came in. I actually like the sound of the storms as long as im ina safe dry warm place.

Guess you wouldn't want to be up the Sears tower! Just thought; 'quarter' sized hail - guess you are referring to the 25c coin, now that is BIG!!! We did have some pretty heavy snow back in February, which was highly unusual! As to normal activities during severe weather, there is no simple answer to that as everyone's circumstances are different. Here, where I live, when we had the snow, it brought massive disruption, with many roads virtually impassable. However, I live fairly close to a motorway (freeway), with fairly level roads connecting home and work. On one particularly bad day, even the motorway was quite a trial (would usually have used a parallel main road, but that was shut with lorries (trucks) having jack-knived trying to traverse some of the hilly parts of it). There was quite a lot of impacted ice, with speeds mainly around 20 to 30 mph (32 to 48 kph). When arriving at work, the car park/ parking lot was only about a quarter full. So the type of severe weather can make a difference too. But your weather certainly sounded quite something!

I actually get excited during severe weather. I love thunderstorms. Fortunately, where I live, if it floods it has to be of biblical proportions before it will threaten my home. But yeah, I do love storms. I even loved them when I was a kid. I can remember when I was little that I would say that I wanted to see a tornado. I still do. I don't want to be caught in a tornado but I still want to see one.

When caught in something like that whiloe traveling I just drive. When we lived in Tenn. we head to the basement or storm house under ground never did like to do that so I mostly never went down.

we are in southern ontario, canada and sometimes we get nasty weather like that sometimes. we generally are at home anyways so we just umplug things like the tv and the computer and just relax and play a game or read.

I stay home. That's one of the advantages of being unemployed! I saw you were being slammed when I was watching the news, I hope it doesn't do too much damage. Here in Ohio, we'll get severe weather after midnight so I'll probably sleep through it unless my dog wakes me up, he's such a scardy cat!

Drive, yes. Walk, no. I have experienced flooded streets after some heavy rains in Los Angeles. I've seen other cars get stranded because of it, but not mine.

Hi pola, I am so sorry you are having such a bad weather, and I would stay in and be safe if that is possible, no I haven't seen any weather as bad as that where I am but there is has been floods in the past from some part of the country in the UK. Tamara

i grab my digtal and head out for some pictures of lightening. came close getting hit a few times. lol

If the weather is not good, or it is raining, I prefer to stay at home watching movies or sleeping.

I use to stay at home watching films and reading. Because there´s no much you can do out there in the open with bad weather.

Hi Pola! Here in New Delhi also we keep experiencing thunderstroms and duststroms during summer weather, which is going on now a days. Delhi is reeling under severe heat wave and temperature sometimes touches 43-44 degree centigrade. It becomes difficult to perform normal tasks and to go out during extreme weather conditions. I dislike and to work in extreme weather conditions. However, such is my job and I leave early in the morning and comes back late in the evening, therefore I face less severity of weather conditions, which remain extreme during afternoon. Mine is the desk job, therefore, I do not go out during the day time. I prefer to have moderate weather.

I work nights from 10p to 8a, so if it comes up during those hours I have to ride it out. My job is at a landfill and I have been in this building when snowstorms, thunderstorms and what they call straight line winds come through, and our com[pany does not shutdown for anything but Christmas. My bosses make us work through blackouts and evrything else.

Its sad to know that Chicago is undergoing such severe weather runs. Its best to stay at home although I've travelled in a similar weather in Chicago in 2005...There were some accidents on the highways and that was very dangerous, probably a skid. Never experienced floating though, woh that would be something.

When it is severe weather then I try to stay home if at all possible. I do not see any reason to go out in bad weather, possibly driving, when it is really bad as it is so much easier to get into an accident. Usually the weather where I am clears up quite quickly so I don't miss much by staying home and then I can also catch up on the rest I need as well as do other things that I have been over looking for a while!

Hi. During severe weather, I don't do anything. I stay home and just read a good book. We have had severe weather recently and I have gotten some reading done. Yeah!!!

I just stay home together with my family. I think it is a good thing that the God gives you a chance to stay with family. Sometimes people are busy in working and forget or spend little time with their family. Think more and you will not complain the weather but say thanks.
