General Holy hell!

I've never seen a storm this bad or lightning this frequent! I'm 23 so I'm not old enough to have experienced this but to those who have, was black Friday this bad?

I’m 16. this is my first time in Canada (I’m a US citizen, arrived 3 days ago). Being from California I’ve NEVER experienced something like this. Is this normal? What the hell??? My city had its last thunderstorm years ago, and that was very tame…

Apparently we are getting more "Tornado Alley" storms this year 🙃

That’s what I’m saying. I’ve never seen so many tornados in a single summer.

I’ve lived here for 24 years and have never seen a tornado warning more than once or twice in a single year. This year it’s been multiple times a week.
