What is the scariest experience you've had with Mother Nature?
Submitted by jacolily.

I was three. I remember being at Crystal Lake Beach in Crystal Lake, Illinois. It was dark because a storm was coming. I was standing at the edge of the shore facing the parking lot. My mother was gathering all our food, towels, and beach toys. It wasn't raining, but it was super super windy, and dark. The scariest part to me was the sand that was blowing everywhere. Being three years old I thought I was in a sand tornando/twister kind of thing because sand was literally blowing EVERYWHERE! No one was comforting me while I cried my head off because my mom and brother were quickly gathering our things. I remember the sand hurting as it flung around. My mom eventually picked up me up and we ran against the "sand storm" to the car. We sat there for a long time waiting for it all to end so we could drive the 15 minutes home.

The End.
