Today, the tornado sirens went off so my family went to the basement and turned on the TV to the local news. The station goes to their sky cam as a trampoline flies by. Quite the sight. When the storm passed, I looked outside to see our trampoline was gone. It was the one flying by on TV. FML

Trampolines tend to enjoy flying whenever there's a heavy storm.

At least your trampoline is famous!

How are people voting YDI...they didn't purposely cause the tornado, or trampoline to fly off

FML Admins: Sounds like a candidate for the FML FAQ

#13 I legitimately feel bad when I accidentally hit YDI lol

I voted ydi because op seems to care more about the trampoline than her family and neighbors. I know she technically doesn't deserve what happened, but I feel my ydi is justified.

#70 your ydi isn't justified by the fact that you specifically wrote "I know they don't technically deserve it."

In tornado weather, you're supposed to take all outdoor furniture, etc, inside before the sirens -- if there's time to do it safely. For many folks, the lesson doesn't sink in until their belongings have flown away.

Forget that. When the siren goes off, it's time to account for all household members, grab a radio and head to the shelter. For those in tornado alley, moving the furniture could be quite a task. I would have tried to stake it down, personally. But a tornado takes what it wants.

At least it was just a trampoline, and not your car, or roof, or something else important!

Mention it was your trampoline everywhere you go. This just might be your fifteen minutes of fame. Or if you're really lucky you might get it returned from wherever it ended up.

Well, you can now brag about being the owner of the flying trampoline that was on TV!!

At least your family was safe. Trampoline can be replaced and you have a good story to tell.

Wouldn't you recognize your house if it were on TV? Still FYL, just wondering though.

Um it's a sky cam...it's not like there was a close up of the trampoline taking up the whole screen...

#20 because the op didnt see it fly away on tv, it had flown a while before it was recorded by the camera, which is how the fml was worded

^ sorry i meant to say the op didnt see it fly out of their yard

Wow who knew that your trampoline looks so different from everyone else's trampoline .

At least you all are safe. I'm sure you guys can save up for another trampoline.

As long as youre all ok im sure youll all bounce back from this :)
