You should put in heatwaves/bushfires If I create a new poll I think it might remove all the votes. |

I'm surprised I'm the first voter to have experienced an ice storm. I have also seen floodwaters and hail. I have been impacted by hurricanes but not felt hurricane force winds. The strongest winds I've experienced were from a severe thunderstorm in 2020. I experienced a weaker part of a derecho in 2013. I have seen a funnel cloud which later formed a tornado, but not the tornado itself.

Hail, blizzards and ice.
I’ve had hurricane remnants and separately hurricane force winds but don’t think either count to be a hurricane. I’ve also seen a funnel cloud but not a tornado.
Tf is a leafnado?

The most extreme weather even I’ve seen was this one:
The date was September 23 2017. It was an ordinary sunny afternoon, the temperature was around 26C and nothing looked out of normal until around 4PM. I was playing on the computer until I saw an orange shelf cloud coming from the Northwest.
I turned off my computer and just watched that cloud slowly moving towards my town. At around 4:30PM, the cloud literally engulfed the town, bringing strong winds and a thunderstorm. A dense orangish fog formed, limiting my visibility. The storm dissipated at a little past 1AM.
I didn’t know what has happened until I found out the orangish colour of that cloud was the result of a wildfire.
September 23 2017 was also the day Nibiru was supposed to collide with the Earth.

I've experienced all of these except a tornado, derecho, and leafnado.
The most memorable ones were the hail (though I see hail most years) in October 2010, which was my first weather memory. Also the floods on numerous occasions, like in March 2010, March 2015 (that one was bad, house got flooded), September 2021, and October 2021. Dust storms in Arizona were novel as well.

Tf is a leafnado? It's kind of a joke. I don't take life too seriously. Another name for it is a leaf whirl. During fall sometimes leaves on the ground get blown around in a mini-tornado like formation. |

I actually got caught in a leafnado just the other day actually, blowing around outside a council flat block. It had a cyclonic direction of rotation, interestingly. Thinking that's quite rare. I tried asking a chav on the council estate for a few words as a witness but he just went "Oi fuck off bruv u ".

I've experienced floods and hail. My street flooded in February 2011, when the suburb I was living in at the time received 150mm in one night. Hail is quite common here, but memorable hailstorms happened in March 2010, December 2011 and December 2017.

Bushfires/grassfires: October 2015 and January 2020
