What is the worst weather event that you’ve ever experienced?

2003, I was a sophomore in high school and it was the middle of the school year. I had my hands full with assignments but so far I had everything under control. We had just return from winter break so I was rested and ready for anything. It was the middle of January and it seemed like it was going to be another regular winter in the DC metro area with not that many significant snow storms. I remember that I was asked to be part of a wedding at a church where my sister used to attend. The wedding was in Maryland and it was going to take place on a Saturday. I went to stay over my sister house four a couple of days and my plan was to come back on Sunday. The wedding was very lovely and after the reception I went to my sister’s house. I actually wanted to come back that same night so I called my brother. By brother said he could not pick me up because it was snowing and that he would come Sunday morning. The next day when I woke up I came to realized that it had snowed close to two feet of snow. I could not believe my eyes. I called my brother right away to see f he was coming and he told me that the all roads were blocked. I wanted to go back home so badly because I knew I had many assignments to complete. All of Sunday I tried to find a ride home but I was unsuccessful. As it turns out, school was canceled for the whole week due to the heavy snow fall. In fact I got home a couple of days later just to find out that school was cancel for two week straight due to the fact that there were other small snow storms. Even though I was stuck in Maryland for a few days thanks to the blizzard, the extra vacation was not so bad.
