If a human being is able to survive the heatwave, it’s not because of an overpriced fan, and also not because you finally convinced the landlord to get an AC. Those multiple stinging showers that freeze your head for the main part of the day are also not the reason why we are still alive after the record three digits of heat. It’s because we know it’s temporary, so yep, life is a placebo, everyone.
But with so many climate anomalies happening all over the world in the past years, it’s hard to stay positive. What if we are doomed to hurricanes, floods, droughts, record snowfalls, and chunks of ice falling from the sky like it's not a big deal? I mean, have we played with Mother Nature for too long?
So in order to pay tribute to the powers of weather that we often underestimate, and to reflect on the scope and frequency of such crazy climate conditions, we are about to dive into pics that show how your plans should never dare to challenge the weather forecast.

Unforeseen Weather
This image has been circling the internet for ages now. Also considering the change of clothes, I'm pretty sure it's staged.
Or maybe it's a different day. Same intentions. Just doesn'y take a photo every time she leaves her driveway?

You forgot to take the roof with you, didn't you. In the UK, we can rarely be confident in the weather not to! Having said that, I've been nearly as wet as that after being caught in the rain on the motorway and finding it was 15 miles to the next junction to be able to pull off and put the roof up.
That model doesnt have a roof for whatever reason and the just took the black one off. You can see the striped one under the black one in the first pic under the shoulder strap

Any of y’all like storm watching? I love when a big thunderstorm rolls through. My friends and I have a tradition to go to their house (just down the road) and sit in their breezeway to watch the storm.
Bored Panda talked to Rob Jones, a TV meteorologist and hurricane chaser who runs an all-things-weather TikTok channel where he shares interesting facts and peculiarities about climate anomalies. As a child living in Florida, Rob said he was interested in their daily summertime thunderstorms and seasonal threats from hurricanes. “So it was only natural to attend the University of Miami (Hurricanes), study weather, and pursue a career in meteorology,” he added.
When it comes to the most extreme weather conditions, Rob named places like Death Valley, California, or Antarctica. But, generally, “people don’t live in the places where the most extreme temperatures occur on earth,” he said.
However, things are changing now. “The temperature in places like the village of Lytton, British Columbia in Canada reached 49.6°C in June 2021 when the average high is closer to 25°C,” Rob said and added that: “Some scientists have calculated that this is a one in 10,000 year heat event for that part of the world.”

Hail Damage To Sun Roof
Tried Going To Visit My Boyfriend On My Day Off, Had To Turn Around Because The Fires Apparently Opened A Portal To Hell
The would really freak me out...but I'll also be intrigued...one of the many reasons why I'd be killed first in a horror film.
Is this Australia? Their early 2020 fires were so bad :( the sky even changed colour here in nz from it, but not this red!
What a lot of Oregon and California looked like summer 2020. With some added fire on the horizon if you were in Portland.
Load More Replies...If the sky turned red to everybody we'd be more interesting in climate change causes.
Idk we've had some pretty extreme weather this year and some conservatives still don't take climate change seriously
Load More Replies...The meteorologist suggested that “a warming world may have been a factor in placing the right weather patterns in place to have such an extreme event in that location. Just think, Las Vegas, Nevada has never recorded a temperature that high!”
“When discussing extreme weather, we think of hurricanes and tornadoes. The 2020 Atlantic Hurricane season was extremely active by measure of sheer number of storms, but not the most active by other measures. There’s always more than one metric to look at when defining hurricanes since they are very complex beings.”
Rob continued: “The most intense landfalling hurricane of the season was Laura, which struck with 240 km/h winds. We tend to see more about this type of weather because of the incredible images.
There were a total of 81 storm-related deaths from Laura, but imagine that the heatwave last month in British Columbia, Canada, probably had more fatalities, with the Vancouver coroner indicating that there were more than 100 deaths suspected from the heat,” he explained.

Woke Up At 230am To Make A 2 Hour Drive Up 10000 Feet To See The Sunrise Atop Haleakala. Have You Ever Seen Such Beauty?
This happened my first and only time snowboarding at Whistler.... I got there driving up from Vancouver in bluebird skies, looking forward to the best day of snowboarding in my life, and amazing views at that. It ended up being terrifying, since I couldn't see more than 10 feet ahead of me. First run of the day we made a wrong turn and ended up on a crazy mogul run.... no fun on a snowboard. Still turned out to be my best day snowboarding, since it was still Whistler

I did the same trip with the bike ride to get down the volcano, the best trip I ever did ! It was so beautiful it really sucks that you had bad weather.
I've done that trip as well. We didn't get a great sunrise that morning, either, though better than this person's. The ride down made me not care. It was gorgeous.
Load More Replies...It's very unnerving to know that there is nothing beyond the edge but you can't tell if it's true.
Been to Crater Lake, Oregon three times over the years - never seen the lake from the rim because of the fog. I hear it's beautiful.
This happened to me at my Great China Wall trip. Almost 19.000 kms and 36 hours flight including airports connections (I live in Argentina). I have a lot of pictures of the fog :(
However, when it comes to extreme weather events, Rob suggests not starting to jump to conclusions immediately. “First, let me start off by explaining that 1 single extreme weather event cannot be definitively linked to climate change. Weather refers to short-term atmospheric conditions, while climate is the average of the weather over a long period of time, such as the climatological standard of 30 years.”
Rob added that “while it might be tempting to use an extreme weather event to highlight climate change, it is not scientifically good practice (or accurate) to do so.”

BLIKSEM!!!!! Sorry translated it is the Afrikaans word for HOLY F**K!
Having said that, the meteorologist said that there are a few reasons why it seems like we are seeing more frequent extreme weather events. “The first is that everyone has a camera with them at all times in order to capture intense images of extreme weather. The second reason is that we disseminate information more and more widely everyday through traditional media, new media, and social media.”
“Yet another reason we capture more frequent extreme weather is because we are building large cities in places that experience extreme weather events like hurricanes, for example. Miami had a population of 300 people 125 years ago and now it encompasses a megalopolis of over 6,000,000 people. Wouldn’t more people experience hurricanes if we build large cities in a hurricane zone?”
In Ten Seconds I'm Going To Discover The Value Of Lifejackets And Renter's Insurance
It may not qualify for this guy, but when they tell you to evacuate, you evacuate.
A lot of the time as in Germany now it's flash floods due to climate change so no chance to evac
Load More Replies...If that really is Germany, then those must be our standard windows. Square, double or tripple glass, opens 2 ways - like a door or "kipp" (just the upper part tilts toward you and makes a V shaped opening if you look from the side)
Load More Replies...I'm impressed at how well the window is holding back the water. Still terrifying though.
Only if the zoo is also flooded out, because that's Germany.
Load More Replies...If you get renter's insurance, make sure it covers flooding. Just saw a post recently about theirs not covering the new place they just moved into and it flooded.
Most insurance in storm areas (TX, LA ect) WONT cover floid or water damage, home or car

OP, I hope you, your loved ones are ok and your belongings dito, or can be salvaged. Edited to add: All you climate change deniers, please go and drown yourself in Europe or China or burn in the really massive (again, as in the last years, just worse) fires in Siberia, or the definitely not normal fires in west Canada and USA or whatever weatheranomaly I've forgotten.
Load More Replies...If anybody wonders - that farm at the edge was a horse farm, and yes, the two owner got all their horses out. they lost everythign else though. :-/ I am Grman and have been following this on the news for days. The images are unbelievable. but the truly scary thing is that this was basically just strong rain, albeit days of it. Soon the climate crisis will create disasters like this every few years.
It’s likely going to be more rapid than every few years.
Load More Replies...This is frightening. All of Germany is donating. Those poor, brave people.
The smiley Raven Sheridan (below) used is NOT the grinning one. I just can’t understand why he is downvoted: If they don’t have a special insurance, affected people lost everything they owned. The German state paid about €20 billion compensation each year such a flood hits, and it goes all to private owners who lost their houses. It’s great that we all stay for each other, but there’s another point: As not everybody owns a house, that’s not a solution in the long run. So government considers to mandatory insurance against flood for home owners, what just seems to be right to me. Problem is that many insurance companies don’t agree to take the risk or at least only for huge fees.
Yeah. Most “insurance” companies do everything in their power to NOT insure the people on their contracts. “Insurance” is about sucking wealth out of the masses, not about collective support. 😡
Load More Replies...Its Cold Outside
Was it "the day after tomorrow" where the world froze suddenly? Reminds me of that
It was certainly the day after the heat stopped working
Load More Replies..."Baby it's cold outside" "I really have no choice but to stay the door is frozen shut." *awkward silence* "that went better than expected."
Rob explained further: “We build homes in river flood plains, construct dams, levies, and other unnatural barriers in locations that are naturally meant to flood. Sometimes 'human nature' is no match for Mother Nature and she reclaims what is rightfully hers. Of course, the final reason is that we may very well be seeing more frequent and more extreme weather, but the cumulative observational evidence is not yet clear.”
This is because “climate is a long term average of the weather and we simply need more data on a multidecadal time scale,” Rob added. “Climate scientists still expect that as our world continues to warm, we will experience more extreme weather… sometimes more extreme in intensity, sometimes more extreme in frequency, and sometimes both.”
He concluded that “Weather is our world’s way of redistributing solar energy trapped inside of our atmosphere,” and added that “The more energy that is trapped by rising levels of greenhouse gases, the more redistribution our atmosphere needs to do in order to try and reach equilibrium.”

The Japanese designers of the bridge did their job impeccably. The bridge approaches were just mounds of earth that washed away. Given the width of the river course, it would have been a good idea to build a trestle across the whole thing to account for the channel moving.
Load More Replies...My guess is that they rerouted the river previously for whatever reason and the storm put it back on its natural original course. That happened when out area flooded. The river through the mountains was rerouted many many many years ago for infrastructure amd roads and when it flooded the river went back to its original course. Pretty wild imo. Nature is amazingly powerful and unpredictable!

Just Bought Our Dream Home Less Than 2 Months Ago. Tonight I Watched It Burn To The Ground In A Massive Wildfire
Are people insured against this sort of thing, or is it considered an Act of God and they're just screwed?
Most insurance companies cover this. Mine (USAA) recognizes that I live in an extreme wildfire area. They will send a team to clear gutters, close garage door if I'm not home, and otherwise help if a fire is near me. The last fire came thru FAST, and we left before being "officially" evac'd as power was out and sparks were falling. They didn't cover our hotel because they didn't consider us officially evac despite sending in docs to prove it. But they did repair the little burned areas we had from embers on the roof. Our city also requires us to keep brush cleared away. But in this last fire, embers were setting fires MILES away from the fire line!

Of course it did. The grill is on wheels and the cover is a big sail. This is not surprising.
And the furniture it vented which will allow the wind to pass through it easier.
Load More Replies...Just like a tornado, you always see cows flying by. Never chickens. The lesson is when you see a tornado coming, grab onto a chicken and you'll be safe.

110+ Mph Derecho Winds Impale House With Lawn Chair, Iowa 8/10

If You Thought Smoking At A Gas Pump Was Bad
Oh man, I hadn't thought about that. (And before anyone calls me stupid, I don't know much about electric cars, would this really be dangerous?)
One would expect the system was designed to be safe in this type of conditions. It's much easier to make an electric system waterproof than preventing gas fumes in a station while pumping.
Load More Replies...More to the point, did the people who designed / built this, not have the vision / intelligence to actually build the damn thing ABOVE the likely flood depth ? Fck me - I worked as a chef for many years, a couple of those in an old mill building in Suffolk built in about 1500 - all of the moving bits of the original building (Cogs /spindles/ grind stones etc) were ABOVE the high flood level (along with more recent additions like all electric plug points were at about eye level - 5'10" in my case - just in case of flooding), also, all of the fridges / freezers / wine 'cellars' etc, were on the floor above as a double indemnity. The people who designed and built this should be sought out and held up as idiots who should never be allowed near a project again ...

This Tree Was Uprooted In A Storm Last Night That Destroyed The Mans Garage And Two Of Us Vintage Cars
Don't take pictures in this spot by a fallen tree like this. If the weight holding that tree down shifts off, that tree goes springing right back up. People get killed doing this.

I was also there when 9-11 happened and one of the associates wanted to turn on a radio or go get her portable TV from home and he told her there was work to do, and if she did, she'd be fired.
There is just two(2) cars there, the left one is blue... Which car is it,eh?
Load More Replies...Is he there? Hey boss, if you want me there so bad, then come and get me. Then you can drive me back because I definitely ain't traveling in this snow.
So, we had a snowstorm in Minnesota around 1991 where it dropped about two feet of snow in a day. I lived in an apartment so of course I had no shovel. My son was two years old and needed milk. I had to get out and they had not yet plowed. I only had a dust pan. I put my son in the car with a million blankets and towels and spent two hours shovelling snow with my dust pan. That was just to clear my car. The plow came through and cleared the parking lot. No way could a single person clear that parking lot in time to get to work. Most likely roads were not yet plowed, either.
I was called back from leave March 2003 (Iraq War) and it had snowed at least 6' Chain of Command didn't care. I told them to send a helicopter because we weren't getting out for a couple days. They got mad at me, but I don't control war hawks or the weather.
Employers can be such d***s...Should have asked him to come and get you if he wanted you in to work that bad!

I Wore Shorts To Work Last Night Because It Was 75 Degrees Out, This Is What It Looked Like Outside This Morning After My Shift
Common occurrence in the Netherlands where you leave your house in springtime, work during a hot summer, drive home in autumn and go to sleep in mid-winter, all in one day.
That's what I was thinking. Just visited there recently and had one town where it didn't get above 50 degrees for the day, but in another town it was up to 80.

I Guess You Shouldn’t Put Glass Windows Over Grass When It’s 22 Degrees Celsius
And it has glitches like all the other Windows versions.

It's not hot but warm. Glass in combination with direct sunlight can cause a high temprature. If you hold a magnifying glass above a newspaper under sunlight the newspaper will catch fire

Lamborghini Huracan Flooded Due To Rain In São Paulo. It Was Not Insured
Uninsured expensive car and windows rolled down? The owner isn't the brightest.
I believe people like this are called “stupid rich”
Load More Replies...When you have the money to buy a super expensive car but lack the money to insure it, you probably shouldn't have bought it.
Why? Insurance is for replacing things you can't afford to replace yourself.
Load More Replies...How can you afford to buy such a car but then not insure it? That's just plain dumb.
“I hear sloshing when I make right and left turns?” “Hummm that might be you “blinker fluid” getting low!!”
Load More Replies...How was it not insured? Is that not a requirement in São Paulo? In the USA, you can’t legally drive without it.
Yes but many asshats do!!! Why do you think insurance company still offer “uninsured motorist” coverage. 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
Load More Replies...That looks a lot like the BatMobile, Batman was dumb to not insure it
Geez, how do you buy a 100k car and not insure it? It’s not like you can’t afford it

Load More Replies...“20% Chance” Of Rain Overnight
Had something similar happen to me on a camping trip once. All the rain collected under our tent, so you stepped in and it just felt like walking on a water bed. There was even a small toad hiding in our tent.
I see this too often at commonly-used campsites. They get "worn down", and there's no "high spot" to pitch a tent in case of rain. And a lot of campsites in the US and Canada restrict where you can pitch the tent, so you're stuck in these giant rain pools waiting to happen. *sigh*
okay but most people misunderstand the % chance, because it's actually really stupid. as i understand it, it's not that there's a 20% chance of rain happening, it's that at least 20% of the area being discussed will have rain for sure.

This Is My Dad’s ‘72 Buick Skylark Floating Away During Hurricane Sally. By The Time They Rescued Their Other Cars, This One Had Water In The Tailpipe And Wouldn’t Drive. Rip
Water in the tailpipe doesn't mean that the car is a write of. Especially not when the car is from 1972 and has no computers and electronics that can get damaged beyond repair.
It wouldn't start so they couldn't move it to safety was the point :)
Load More Replies...Maybe it'll wash up on the shore of The Netherlands in a few years and some lucky guy will find it.
Water in the tail pipe wouldn't keep it from starting. Unfortunately if it was running it would probably get water in the vents of the transmission and differential. It would be a mess, but salvageable. Nice car too, a pity.
It happened to my 92 celica and we managed to save it I think maybe this could have been saved.

Let's be clever and park our cars on a frozen lake.... And these people have the permission to drive a 2 ton killing machine.
People who ice fish but I would never in a million years take my chance of parking on a frozen body of water.
Load More Replies...No, just idiots. A similar situation occurred near me a few years ago. Parking on the ice is relatively common during a snow-sculpting festival, as there is literally nowhere else to park. People who live there obey the guidelines and park vehicles no less than 20' apart (spacing out the weight). Idiots from out of town who don't think those guidelines apply to them park in the spaces left between sensible people's vehicles and cause the ice to crack.

June 2020, In A Strikingly Poignant Metaphor, The Largest Free-Flying American Flag In The Country Was Torn Apart Last Night During Severe Thunderstorms In Sheboygan, Wi
Do not lump us all together, please. It is a piece of cloth. We (mostly) know that. The ones crying and whining irk me and my military fam. This cloth drapes our family's caskets. But it's just cloth. You can buy another one. if it gets ripped up in weather, so what? If it gets burned, so what? If it covers a casket, you keep it in a case to remember the service that your family member performed for the country, but it's optional. So, no, not every American, but thank you for assuming the worst of all of us.

I mean… the cactus was there before the house. Technically they ruined its home first.
The problem in Arizona, is that they tend to get extra water here from everybody's flowers and lawn plants. They grow too tall too fast, and can't support the height of the branches. One good wind, shallow roots, cactus bye-bye! And they can weigh several TONS!!!
Hence the previous response: "I mean… the cactus was there before the house. Technically they ruined its home first."

It’s Technically Still Summer For Another 13 Days. Yet, In Colorado
Nature doesn't keep timetables and calendars, it has its own agenda.
I was in Grand Lake, Colorado in June of 2018 & we woke up one morning to 3" of snow! And way back in the 70's, I was with friends & we rode motorcycles up Pike's Peak & got snowed on most of the way up. Then on the 4th of July we had a snowball fight at the Continental Divide. Fun times!
It doesnt beat that one time in Colorado springs where it snowed in the middle of summer. When it was supposed to be a very warm day. Anyone remember?
9yr Old Tires + 90° Weather + Low Tire Pressure + Highway Driving = Big Summer Blowout! (And A Near Death Experience)
I can't believe that in some countries there is no regulations or mandatory checks on vehicules. For struggling countries i get it, but for developed countries it just blows my mind. In my country if you drive with used tires you get a 135euro fine and the vehicule could be immobilized. That's highly dangerous for the owner, and for everybody else.
Load More Replies...My tires are 9 years old, and are just fine since they were a high-quality tire to begin with. My other car has tires that are only 4 years old and they are in very poor condition due to being cheap ones.
Load More Replies...Knowingly driving with bad tires and low pressure in those conditions = stupid asshole.
And that's why in most countries you are legally obliged to have your car checked annually.
9yrs on the same tyre ? Either you've no money for new ones, or you have no sense in checking tyres regularly. Surely having your car serviced at all would've shown you this ?
You should have fitted new or reconditioned tyres years ago. No sympathy.
I have a luxury car whose spare tire is on a sensor. Despite going to an air pump and filling all the 4 tires, the dash still read "low tire pressure" despite driving it for a while. So brought it to a tire place and it was then they told me about the spare. when they were about to top it off, they noticed the date stamped on the tire along with all the other info. They said they couldn't allow me to drive off with such an OLD tire as it was illegal and certainly a safety concern. I seem to recall, 6 yrs is the max you can drive on, or, as in this case, have as a spare....

It Snowed Two Feet Overnight And This Unlucky Neighbour's Car In The Underground Parking Lot Is Next To A Large Grate

Load More Replies...Why would anyone build a grate that directly opens up in a garage. Half the reason to park in a garage is to stop this. Just put a false ceiling in to protect the cars. Even leave a side open, with a drain.
The grate is in the wall to the left of the snow covered car, not in the ceiling.
