Why a lens about extreme weather?

I have always been interested in the weather--especially extreme weather. I am fascinated by it. I love learning the different types of weather, weather phenomena, and how it affects civilization. The more extreme the more alluring. I enjoy finding out how storms and conditions develop and what will occur as a result. I can not get enough of the Weather Channel and the stories they broadcast.

In my research I even found information about something that only recently has been given a name-- Severe Weather Phobia I hope you enjoy this lens and my lens about Severe Weather Phobia too.

Enjoy!

Super Storm March 12-14, 1993

I was in this one!

We were driving from Michigan to Sarasota FL. We could not make it past Nashville TN. We ended up held up there for two days until we could get through the mountains and make our way to FL. So I spent my birthday in a Hotel!

Snow Storms/ Blizzards

I was in the Blizzard of '78 too!

We were off school for a week. The snow was so high in Dowagiac MI that we could not open our back door and it was almost as high as the monkey bars on our gym set in the back yard. We kids had a great time during that blizzard. I was in 5th grade I believe. A memory I will never forget!
