Dom,

Same thing in 1980. I left that morning with 3 huge maples on the side of my house and came home to find them on my house and in my house. Twelve straight days of 100+ heat (even at night), no electricity and 3 small kids. Had to replace the roof and could only work on it around 3:00 or 4:00 in the morning because the shingles were just too hot. Neighbors and family all helping each other. That part was a good feeling. The rest stunk.

I was backpacking in the mountains when a hurricane hit in 1979 totally unexpected. With trees falling down around me and torrential rains, I made it down into a remote valley and found shelter in a log lean to beside a raging stream that overflowed its banks.

I "survived" the blizzard of '07 up here. Big enough to cancel Michigan Tech University for the day... first day of canceled classes due to winter in, oh, 50 years. I don't remember it though, I planned on sleeping in that day anyways.

[Rick]

Oh, Natviedude. Hands down. The worst disaster of all....and two of them!!!! I now know why you headed for the hills.

3 years ago ,38 inch snow fall and 2 drunk men,(had no clue who they were) sleeping on my floor when they showed up at 1:30 in the morning,coveralls full of beer,because they slid off the road and couldnt get their truck unstuck,couldnt leave them out there to freeze,it was quite a ways to the next house,so on the floor they slept.Was 3 days before the farmers came by and cleared a path down the road before they could go anywhere or get a tow truck to pull out their truck.

She built an ark, marched in a male and female of every kind of creature...saved the world. She's a busy young lady, Sarge.

Couple tornado's here, and flooding.

[trax]

Blizzards, winter power outage, a couple of mining emergencies, been in two earthquakes when I was out in BC but neither of them seemed to amount to much so I don't think they count.

[Beo]

Ex-wife, teenage son, and my wife now who's pregnant, yeah Trax I'm gonna be a daddy again.

[Rick]

Oh, man. I forgot about the great blizzard of '78. I've got some crazy pictures from that.
