If you think the weather's extreme in Atlanta, just wait until you hear my list.


 * 2002: Horrific hail storm damaged my house severely. Hail was at least 3" in diamater.
 * 2003: A really bad windstorm moved through in May 2003 during a tornado outbreak. The only main threat was wind and not tornadoes, though 5 tornadoes touched down in the state.
 * May 2004: Bad tornado outbreak struck the state, including and F2 in Indianapolis and and F3 that killed one person in Marengo.
 * June 2004: Bad storm uprooted hundreds of trees in the area, and was not a tornado.
 * December 2004: Insane winter storm, 40+ inches of snow at my house. I was only three at the time, but my memory of that storm isn't vague.
 * 2005: Overall, wasn't a bad year, but Hurricane Katrina did pass over, causing some flooding.
 * 2007: Minor drought, but nothing like what was going to come in 2012.
 * 2008: Hurricane Ike flooded the whole Hoosier state, and killed a couple people.
 * 2009: See my previous post with the high-end EF3 destroying my house.
 * 2010: Not much happened.
 * May 2011: Another EF3 tornado touched down, this time almost hitting my house but did not directly hit it like in 2009.
 * Spring/Summer 2011: A catastrophic flood struck, closing my school for a week because the local river overflowed its banks and flooded the whole area. My house was not damaged as bad as a few on the riverbank.
 * 2012: Right after the worst flood of my life struck, the worst drought of my life struck. The drought was so bad that it completely dried up our local river, the one that overflowed its banks the year before. A pretty insane two years, IMO.
 * 2013: Another tornado struck during the November 17, 2013 tornado outbreak, but was only rated EF1.
 * 2015: Tropical Storm Bill caused really bad storms over the area, downing trees and flooding our area.
 * 2016: A very bad winter storm struck at the start of the year, cancelling school for two weeks.
