Took shelter in my grandparent’s bathroom as an E3 tornado whizzed past our houses back in March while I was visiting family back home in Georgia. The tornado was the scariest sh*t I’d ever lived through.

Worst storm was the huge snow storm back in 2010 that Obama dubbed Snowocalypse. The snow was so bad, my brother couldn’t get his Blazer down our driveway as it reached the top of his hood. He had to park it so it wouldn’t get hit by a plow, and we jumped out into chest high snow. Snow plows couldn’t keep up. My Chevy Suburban was hidden, and we were stuck in the house for a week.

In 2005 I was living in Cancun in Mexico opening up a business when it was hit by hurricane Wilma. It was a category 5 hurricane that crawled over the Yucatan peninsula. The winds were over 150 miles an hour and I believe that there was over 6 feet of rain during the storm.
