Not to be confused with the general 'weather' thread, this one is about BAD weather. What bad weather is your area known for? How often does it happen? The reason I made this thread is because right now I'm stuck in my basement with a tornado warning :P
Texas generally has blistering heat and humidity. On a consistent basis over the summer =/ And we've had a drought for about the past 4 weeks now, though it did POUR rain yesterday, but there have still been wild fires all over the areas.
Ooh, I've heard about the drought down South. That must be awful. I'm glad you got rain, though! I can't stand even a week without rain; months would be awful... --- We often get some nasty storms here, and I love them!
Heat doesn't sound so good for clams! It's excessively dry in Texas right now, too, isn't it?
This was weird: the last storm we had took three days to get by! Then, today we had a burst of rain and by the afternoon, the winds were from the west-northwest (backside of storm). I guess this one was eager to get away from the US?
How about floods? There are some bad ones going on in western Iowa right now (though there are many other locations).
There was once a semi-flood in Texas(Where I live.) and we were driving in it after we dropped my friend off at her house and when we were about 3 blocks away from my house, our car just stopped. So we had to drive 3 blocks in heavy rain and in 3 inch or so deep water. That was a terrible day...
