What weather events have you been in? I was in the great icestorm Ontario/Quebec in about 1998.

25. I think one reason it wasn't so terrifying to me at the time

was because I was younger and still living with the rest of my family. Plus, we had no large trees around our house due to a tree disease that killed most of them off years before. At the same time, for the week following, we were very busy with our two chainsaws removing trees from neighbors' houses. We lived in Nassau Bay at the time. My father thinks we had a small tornado twist around a maple tree due to how it had been damaged. But other than all that, we only lost a few ridge shingles.

As I recall, they estimated that Hurricane Alicia spawned something like 90-100 tornadoes, in a path that almost literally followed I-45 up to downtown Houston. I guess y'all got one of those. Glad you lived through it without harm
