Extreme Weather
TRLT
A2 Extreme weather in #Kauai led to a flash flood on the Wailua River while we were hiking and kayaking. We headed for high ground and waited for the crest. Here is what I found, Wilson! @adventurepretty #TRLT #traveltuesday #adventure
A2. I was in a terrific hail storm during a stay #Quito #Ecuador’s historic center. I adapted by hanging out in my penthouse suite and taking pictures and video! It turned into a fun time! https://t.co/fSGGb91l2w

A2: Siem Reap during the rainy season can be hot and humid and wet. Quickly learnt that the best time to visit the Angkor temples was either early morning or late afternoon. Plus, if a storm does come - just wait, it will pass soon enough. #TRLT

replying to @pip_says @pip_says @TheTravelCamel @iamvagabond @HeidiSiefkas This was last winter. 🤣 #travel #TRLT
replying to @aok_NW @aok_NW When we lived in Tennessee, we exeprienced our fair share of torandos. They can be quite scary, especially when you're bunkered down in a small home. #TRLT
replying to @ActivatedAdven1 @ActivatedAdven1 @AdventurePretty A2: Not sure if was Extreme --- but when in Banff, Alberta in 2010 it was so cold they closed all the ski hills. Stayed in the hotel and read and drank tea. I did go out one day for a dogsled run and almost got frostbite #trlt
replying to @Tiplr_ @Tiplr_ @andrefanjos I didn't picture this being from Brazil either. #TRLT
replying to @ItIsAGrapeLife @ItIsAGrapeLife @TheTravelCamel @Touchse @iamvagabond @pip_says I wondered how many would recognize this Canadian symbol! 😆 #TRLT

How are you? That is a lovely present indeed. #trlt
replying to @Touchse @Touchse @AdventurePretty We actually have many ski town memories of being without electricity- and BBQing in snow. Luckily we’ve been able to make the best of bad weather situations. #TRLT
replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel @iamvagabond @HeidiSiefkas But cozy #travel #TRLT
replying to @CaitlinKellyNYC @CaitlinKellyNYC @ActivatedAdven1 @AdventurePretty On days like that - best plan is to stay indoors with a fantastic book. #TRLT
replying to @GoGreenGatsby @GoGreenGatsby A2. It absolutely poured when I visited the #OBX - still tried to go around anyways. Very hairy to drive though& they closed the road the next day. There was sand and water everywhere. 📷: https://t.co/2bYNFGlChf #TRLT
replying to @Touchse @Touchse @AdventurePretty I got caught up in a cyclone in New Zealand and the town I was in had to be evacuated. I ended up staying with the former police chief and his family! #TRLT
replying to @wheresshellyii @wheresshellyii Oh wow! That must have been something to witness. How long did it last? #TRLT
A2: When white-out conditions hit the mountain where I was #skiing, I decided it was the perfect time for an apres ski warm up in a cute cafe! 😉⛷ #TRLT
#SnowStorm #Mountains #Sweden
replying to @GoGreenGatsby @GoGreenGatsby You should see some of the hail storms we have in Australia. Hail can be the size of golf balls! #TRLT
replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel @AdventurePretty Got weathered in at a fly-in fishing lodge in the #spectacularNWT. Oh well, one more day of enjoying blissful solitude being pampered by the lodge staff. #TRLT #travellingfoody.
replying to @LindaPeters64 @LindaPeters64 @AdventurePretty A2: One of my favorite memories is from our annual camping trip where it rained and just washed everything out. We found a local mall and 30+ of us went to a Chinese buffet restaurant and had the best time. #TRLT
replying to @NewYorkHabitat @NewYorkHabitat @TheTravelCamel @iamvagabond Same! I’m usually ok during turbulence but this was definitely the worst we had. Some of the overhead lockers opened and stiff fell out which was abit dangerous. Didn’t help that we were flying Malaysian airlines just after 2 of their planes had gone down/missing. #TRLT

A2 During extreme weather, we hunker down, and make the best of the situation. We indulge in the spa amenities if were at a hotel, enjoy a delightful dinner or play crib in the back of the vehicle were camping in.
@AdventurePretty, what do you do?
#TRLT
A2. I'm not used to snowy weather, so I enjoyed being able to photograph after an ice storm in DC! #TRLT
replying to @companach @companach @sl2016_sl @TheTravelCamel @iamvagabond I think the only people OK with it are those who manufacture aircraft and pilots; I have interviewed both for my NYT story about turbulence. #TRLT
replying to @Touchse @Touchse @pip_says @AdventurePretty A2 In 2010 we got 3 feet of snow when Snowzilla hit the DC area. @CharlesMcCool and I were snowed in a few days so I had time to build this lovely snowfa on our back deck. :) #travel #TRLT
A2 #trlt In the case of Washington DC, I thought the safest plan was to put the electronics in the bathroom, go down to the lobby with video camera in hand and wait it out down there.

replying to @NewYorkHabitat @NewYorkHabitat @TheTravelCamel @iamvagabond You should have an underground like Toronto. I just run to the subway station and walk all over the downtown underground #TRLT
replying to @pip_says @pip_says @Touchse @AdventurePretty That must have been wild. Good thing you got shelter. #trlt
replying to @katjapresnal @katjapresnal Same! We lived in Northwest Tennessee for a few years and the tornadoes were pretty intense. 🙈 #TRLT
replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel @AdventurePretty A2: This is Anchorage, AK for the winter solstice. This is a lake used for seaplanes. it's frozen all the way to the other side. #WhereisKerwin #TRLT. I did a quick Facebook Live and went back to my hotel :-)
replying to @katjapresnal @katjapresnal @TheTravelCamel @AdventurePretty @BryceCanyonNPS Thanks! #TRLT
replying to @DoroLef @DoroLef @TheTravelCamel @AdventurePretty @BryceCanyonNPS Totally! #TRLT
AGAIN Q2: How have you made the best of an Extreme Weather situation that occurred where you were staying during your travels? Share a photo! via @adventurepretty #TRLT
A2. Again an experience in Greenland. Due to heavy fog all planes got cancelled for over 36 hours. I used the time to see more of the environment. In the afternoon the fog dissolved😉
@adventurepretty #TRLT
A2 It was -30℃ (-22℉) in Montreal when we visited in January. Good thing there was lots to keep us warm in our great luxury stop @RitzCarlton Montreal! https://t.co/y3tXs2gWjI #TRLT @TheTravelCamel @Touchse @adventurepretty @pip_says
replying to @CaitlinKellyNYC @CaitlinKellyNYC @ActivatedAdven1 @AdventurePretty I just read (moments ago) that locals in Riga wear thermal face masks in winter. I had no idea these exist. Would people in Canada wear these too? #trlt
#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.
replying to @FunInFairfax @FunInFairfax @Touchse @pip_says @AdventurePretty @CharlesMcCool This is adorable. Have never seen a snowfa #trlt
