When I was little my family had an above ground pool.
On night it was struck by lightning and exploded. Ok not really explode but it burst and all of the water whooshed into out back yard. The scary part was the my window was the clsoest to the pool and I head it burst (scared the shit out of me).
Another tiem Our cherry Hedge was struck by lightning.
Oh and a Little sparrow was cling to our shutters durring a hurricane

A tornado ripped through the High School of the town I used to live in, killing nine of its students. Five of which I knew.
For the guy who asked, north suburbs of Chicago.
Also, a microburst (tornado, but not really) hit my house 4 years ago, tore down tons of trees nearby blocking the roads both ways. The news crew was on the next street across from mine on the damage. The best/worst part was the fact that my neighbor went inside her house, only to have the tree in her backyard hit by lightning and split in half down the middle. It hit the seat she was sitting in square on; only a 10 second difference. A simply beautiful thing happened afterwards (not good btw) when 3 transformers blew up in unison lighting up the entire green/yellow/grey almost nighttime sky. It was like watching a lights show or the aurora (bad part=no power for 10 hours).
I have more stories if you guys/gals are interested, just ask (I don't want to waste time writing something no one will read, I got that enough here on other threads...)

Watched a tree fall on house on a Tuesday morning in 2003. Wasn't a tornado, though, it was straight-line winds. That was not a pleasant start to the day.
Had a weak tornado go over my house and down the street. It took out alot of branches, roof tiles and destroyed a lot of sheds.
Sorry to bump an old thread, but there is grape sized hail hitting our windows (we are under a 2 ft awning, and the wind is super fast), acidic (but not acid) rain, and in 30 mins, a torando is supposed to hit by soon. I will post pics if I can!
