March 2nd, 2018 was epic.

The skylight cover/window over the stairwell in my row house in DC was lifted off the building and disappeared into the sky that day. Pretty sure the pressure differential between inside and out during one of the gusts is what popped it free. Epic indeed.

this board's negative feelings about wind will never fail to amuse me. I love it. I wish we had more days like this :lol:

Wind was cool until I got a home in the woods with 100ft tulip trees all around it.  

Severe storms were cool until the 2012 Derecho and I changed my mind (see above). 

Hail was cool until it destroyed my roof and ruined my car's sheet metal a couple years ago.  

Tornadoes were never cool.  

Snowstorms are still cool and probably always will be.  

 

For our DC row home none  those things concern me except maybe hail destroying all the solar panels, idk.
