Topic: Wild Weather Stories And Fish Tales!

In this outdoorsy thread of discussion we'll talk all about unusual weather and fishing stories "for the outdoors sportsman" that we have personally experienced it can be an event that just occurred or something that happened in the past, the only rule is you must tell the truth. Although sea monster legends that you have heard about are also allowed in this thread, but you must state that it's only something you have heard about whether from local mythology or from a documentory video or wherever you have heard the story from and a source to the information "in the case of sea monster legends" must be provided!

Anyways my first story is from when I was 10! My mother and I were driving to a local high-school during the summer so I could take a recreational cake decorating class, but when we arrived two tornadoes spawned just to the South of us in a rural area in Arizona which forced us to take cover in the gymnasium of the high school. Good thing we did as the winds were so strong that shards of pine cones from the pine trees outside of the school were embedded into the building. When we returned home we learned that 20 houses were damaged or destroyed and that both twisters were extremely powerful by Arizona standards "F2" on the Fujita scale.

Do you have any stories that you'd like to share?

Every year we get one or two hurricanes here.

It's always fun.

But I'm sure the fish dislike them.

yesterday it rained chicken fried steaks and cream gravy.
thats texas weather for you

Lol, I said true stories in the first post.

You mean that wasn't true? Then what the hell am I eating???

I once caught nessie and she was [thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis] big. True Story. But my camera was out of battery.

LOL. xD

FISH TALES?!?!

Oh, not that kind...
Well, I've got a "REEL" fish tale! (I'm sorry I had too though) One time I went fly fishing with my dad and we caught one eight inches big!!!...
We don't have very big fish near where I live, but they must be pretty greedy. One time as I was reeling the line in to get ready to go, I looked down and saw a fish right next to me, just staring at and following my fly. It literally struck it right there, but it didn't get hooked. I almost caught a fish by doing nothing!
As for wheather, one time when I was little we got hit by a hurricane. It blew a tree in our backyard over, which crushed our fence and ripped some siding off the house. Playing in that tree sure was fun though!
