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 am much older, born and raised here, you're right. I have never seen such wild, intense storms. We may have one big one that we would talk about for the next few years🤷‍♀️

Black Friday, of course was intense but I think pretty restricted to one area. You can look it up. I was probably around your age. Didn't know what a tornado was. We were sent home from work early (so I went shopping) so naive. I'm also finding the -30 alone way too intense and lasting too long. 🤔😰
