What have been some of your personal experiences with extreme weather?

Yeah this has partly been inspired by the absolute deluge of snow we in the North East of England have had for well over a week now. It’s apparently the earliest we’ve had snow here for seventeen years. I mean, it’s like the sky suddenly sprung a leak that can’t be repaired. So for us that’s extreme, fun, inconvenient & sometimes annoying, but definitely extreme. How about you, what personal experiences can you recall of being subject to adverse weather of an extreme nature?
