For many of us, summer is all about reading books on the beach, eating juicy watermelon, enjoying barbecues with friends and spending some much needed time away from screens and out in nature. But as wonderful as the weather might be in your country during June, July and August, there’s a good chance that there are some storms brewing too.

People that live in regions that attract serious storms know the struggles of trying to prepare for extreme weather all too well. But when you don’t have a storm shelter to hide in or a garage to protect your car, you might have to get creative when it comes to preparing for nature to strike. Bored Panda has scoured the internet for the most amusing photos of people getting ready for extreme weather, so you’ll find some hilarious and brilliant tactics below. And keep reading to find conversations with Jacquelyn Fitzpatrick, Senior Brand Manager at Nielsen-Kellerman, and Jonathan Erdman, senior meteorologist for The Weather Company's Weather.com!

    Hail Protection For Starlink Disk

    Storm antenna protected with foam and waterproof cover, showcasing creative severe weather preparation techniques on a rooftop.

    Yesterday the weather forecast predicted hail, so I wanted to protect the dish in the event of hail. I used a piece of foam and the dish installation bag I got with my post-installation kit. I just covered it and left it in place for the night.
    It did slow down performance, but I was able to remove it easily the next day, without issue. Cheap and effective.
