Tell this to NPR who claims every storm is the worst in history.

i remember this storm very vividly, I woke up at 6am only to find that my heater was off and my feet felt numb. so I went to my mom and she said something like “we don’t have power”. note that our house was built in the 50s and also we had a one year old, so that was extra bad. luckily our aunt lived across the street and her house was powered by gas, which meant that her house was at least somewhat warm. going outside felt unreal. a lot of our plants and trees in our front yard straight up died, though some survived. we stayed at our aunt’s until we managed to get one of the last remaining hotel rooms. we had to stay there for those 4 icy days until it warmed up.

I don't know who you got your info from but Tennessee didn't know anything until about 10 hours before hand,,,they said we were going to get flurries.

Incredibly well told, thank you for putting this together and thank you to the people sharing their personal stories ❤️‍🩹

Great video and sorry to hear about your grandma and grandad, may they rest in eternal peace together.

The Blizzard of 1993 didn’t stop Pittsburgh from holding its annual St. Patrick’s Day parade that year. It went on as scheduled despite the blizzard. And it also led to the disbanding of the Roanoke Valley Rampage franchise in the East Coast Hockey League. A game that was played before the roof collapse was called due to the instability of the roof. The Rampage played their final game against the then-reigning Jack Riley Cup champion Hampton Roads Admirals at the Scope in Norfolk with equipment borrowed from a local league and players local to Hampton Roads. The Admirals won that game 9-3.

I wonder how this season is going to be

Thanks for the in-depth report. Just the facts and not a lot of meteorological details.

Take a shot every time you hear ‘storm of the century’.

FAKE NEWS LEFT CCP DOMESTIC TERRORISTS PARTY OF TRAITORS LIES

nice work.

It snowed for the first time in Houston since this storm yesterday.

i spent 3 day straight shoveling snow for 3 different condo complex's but the one in stafford ct at the top had snow drifts that went over the top of 2 story condos !

I was born in New Orleans in 2000, August 22nd and Ik I didn’t live in New Orleans long but when I left I was only 4 about to turn 5 years old idk maybe i did turn 5 once we left idk. I still have memories playing with my great grand mother in front of our house in the ninthward on American Street. My family are blessed to be here alive but I’m still sad to leave behind memories of people I never will be able to meet again due to Katrina hitting, I visited New Orleans for the first time again back in 09 The park I played at with my siblings wasn’t the same and our house wasn’t the same I saw my mother cry, everything she knew and grew up with was destroyed all of our baby pictures were destroyed. She walked up to our moldy house and stared at it for a while, I wanted to stand next her but she told the rest of us to stay in the car. My neighborhood i once remember being filled with children and people laughing was nothing but a ghost town of abandoned houses. My Name Is LaJohna and this is my story. (I’m going to be 25 this year I can’t wait) 🥹

I remember the Henryville EF4 very well, I was living in Sellersburg at the time, which is 10 miles south of Henryville. My family church was destroyed in that tornado. (Fun fact) that church Mt. Moriah is also the church that Col. Sanders went to and he's also a distant cousin of mine. My uncles house was barely missed that day as well, they lived less than a quarter mile from the church. (Rip Uncle Ricky) I live in Henryville now and I can look out my back porch and see where the tornado went through. I live less than a half mile from the path that tornado took that day. It barely missed the house my grandparents had built in the 70s off of Speith Rd. They haven't lived there since 74, they moved to Atlanta, Ga bc of granddads job but my dad stayed and married my mom which ironically their anniversary is March 2nd as well. The town has rebuilt but you can still see the damage and the path the tornado took that day if you know where to look. Thay was a scary day for our little town.

This one gave me ptsd…

10 years ago this would be classified as an EF5.

After we dug the 2 feet of snow off our house and garage roofs, there was so much shoveled off that we could jump off the roof into the snow safely. Fun times. You wouldn’t be able to do that without child services being called on the parents. 😅

I remember being 23 years old just became a father and ended up walking to find a store open to buy diapers and other supplies store was just a mile away but seemed like a 3 hour walk there and back walking south up Homer Ave in Cortland NY with a 60 mph wind blowing snow felt like gravel being whipped in my face couldn't see at all like walking with a sheet over my head got back home and just hunkered down day two of the blizzard my living room window was shattered by a gust of wind ended up boarding it up happy no one was in front of it it was the worst storm I've seen in my 54 years on this earth I remember it well

It wws horrible. Our home luckily was safe our neighborhood was surrounded by water. But our neighborhood was basically an island.

A lot of people like to downplay the event but fail to understand how our infrastructure is straight up, not built for disasters at all. On top of that, Texas has 30 million people. Every single person is bound to have their own situation. Some people are homeless, some are chronically ill, and some just straight up don't have the knowledge or resources to deal with this type of shit, especially while our government is doing absolutely nothing to help. "It was just a little bit of snow, dont be dramatic." If a little bit of snow is enough to kill over 200 people, then i dont know what to say.

In Germany, we'd be held liable if we ignored an injured person and didn't render first aid to the best of our abilities. Rendering first aid as a storm chaser on the scene is what I'd consider both right and necessary. It speaks poorly of society if first responders are denied the chance to help. Messy, detrimental help due to lack of knowledge of how to act potentially buried people underneath the wreckage? Understandable, but you can be educated for that but denying help outright? That's low

I know I'm late, but I went through this while visiting my paternal grandfather's home in Virginia. My memory isn't the greatest, but I remember celebrating Austin Dillon winning the Nationwide Race at Kentucky when, not even a minute later, we all heard a big bang, and the power went out. Those next 3 weeks without power might've been the most brutal 3 weeks I have ever gone through in my entire life, because that heat did not go away any time soon. In terms of damage, the house didn't get much, but there were trees down everywhere. It was easily the worst winds that I had experienced until Hurricane Sally in 2020.

I remember this. I was talking to my buddy Jeff Holinger when he was a news anchor at WSB radio at that time. We were having fun, laughing, cutting up over the phone and all of a sudden he got word from the control room that severe weather is heading into downtown Atlanta. Fox five was not on air with severe weather coverage because nobody, including channel 2 had no clue what happened. Shirley Franklin was mayor of Atlanta at that time also.

The town I lived next to pumped water into where I lived flooding my home with 4 ft of water so they could save themselves... we wouldn't have flooded otherwise

I remember the tornado that hit stoneville in NC stoneville is part of rockinghim county if you go through the heart of stoneville the town clock is stopped at the time the tornado hit
