A1 I'm not a native Floridian, but I've gone through nearly 7 major hurricanes in the last decade. They are no joke. It is best to be prepared with plenty of water + generator. No pictures bc we were boarded up. via @IamVagabond #TRLT #travel #Weather

A1: Easily the most terrifying Extreme Weather experience was taking a ferry in the Solomon Islands. The fierce wind and swells were so bad that people screamed at times because it felt like we would capsize. My least favourite travel moment ever. #TRLT

A1. I was in Ocean City #Maryland, in an apartment right on a marina, during #Hurricane #SuperStormSandy. Luckily #OCMD only got the edges, with the worst impacts happening to the north in Jersey and #NYC.

A1. Quite terrifying was a heavy storm in Greenland when I was travelling by boat from Disko island to Aasiaat/Egedesminde and the boats were like toys in the storm. It was difficult to make pics or movies because of the heavy shaking.

A1 A rare 'haboob' (dust storm) blew through Eastern #Washington. We were encompassed in dust, travelling on our motorcycle. We couldn't see the Illuminated hotel sign right across the road, it was extremely scary to cross the highway. #TRLT https://t.co/CSz35vUGjS @iamvagabond

replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel @iamvagabond A1. Being on a plane through a nasty storm and having the most horrific turbulence on our way to Kuala Lumpur a few years ago! No photo but it was pretty scary nonetheless. š³ #TRLT

A1 #trlt Sat in a hotel nr Dallas when the tv kept saying there was a tornado warning in the area. Was it wrong to go to the window expecting a cow to fly past?

replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel @iamvagabond A1. It might be overstating things to say I was terrorised by the freak snowstorm in London last year but I was definitely inconvenienced by it. #TRLT

#TRLT A1: Our scariest weather experience was spent hiding from a tornado. Being in an RV we spent the night parked in a carwash hoping it would protect us from wind, flying debris & hail damage. It touched down a few miles from us and claimed lives. Didn't sleep that night.

#TRLT via @BradtGuides A1: The main weather hazard all year in #Iceland is the wind, which can make riding extremely dangerous. One day, @WheresAndrew experienced such strong and gusty windy conditions that he aborted his ride and laid up for the day. https://t.co/uCI1wD986E

replying to @LindaPeters64 @LindaPeters64 @iamvagabond A1) It was an unexpected early September snowstorm in Wyoming & Montana while driving over Bear Tooth Pass where the road goes above the timberline & there weren't guardrails in some locations. š #TRLT

replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel @iamvagabond A1. Crossing on a jet-foil ferry Hakata-Busan a storm came and Iāve never been scared a boat might go down except that time. No pics- everyone was seasick and I was busy thinking about lemons trying not to be nauseous as well as terrified. š #TRLT

A1 #trlt Washington DC, September 2001. We knew there were going to be thunderstorms that day. What we didn't know is we would be witness to the worst tornado outbreak that area had seen in 75 years. Scary day and I wish I had those odds buying a lottery ticket.

A1. This is @TravelGigolo saying "we're optimistic" abt a massive lightning storm about to roll into the Magalies mountains. It was not a good situation & the lightning was abt to be right on top of us. My brother & his son were new to camping & in a very flimsy tent too!

A1 Can't say it was terrifying, but cruising the Drake Passage on the way to Antarctica was an adventure -- I was lifted out of bed and smacked down again with every huge wave #TRLT

A1: In my apartment in Melbourne when an insane hail storm came out of nowhere creating a white-out. I couldn't see the building in front of my balcony and it looked like snow on the streets afterwards. The street out the front was also flooded and trees stripped of leaves #trlt

#TRLT A1: I was on a catamaran in Mexico when the weather all of a sudden turned. Weāve been hiding in toilets, vomiting and thought we wouldnāt make it. what upset me most was that in the morning I contacted the vessel due to bad weather forecast and they said no itās all fine.

A1 Canāt think of anything life threatening (apart from the odd flash floodings, heavy downpours, turbulences mid-air, blizzards on the highway etc.) #TRLT

replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel @iamvagabond A1: In 2017, Hurricane Harvey passed through Houston. It devastated many areas. Actually the thing about Hurricanes is everyone forgets after its not on TV. Today there are several neighborhoods that are ghost towns; many empty lots and reconstruction remains #TRLT #WhereisKerwin

#TRLT @AdventurePretty A1: Always make the best of what you experience. When it pours and your tent ends up in the middle of a stream, laugh because your son slept through it on the one dry spot while mom and dad ditched their clothes and streaked.
