Today, eight tornados hit the town where I live. The only person who tried to get a hold of me and see if I was OK was my World of Warcraft guild leader after I didn't show up to raid. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, it's been more than 3 days since a tornado ripped through my neighborhood. Several were injured, and there is millions of dollars of damage. Not a single family member has called, texted, or stopped by to see if I need help or got injured. FML
Today, I went into labor and got my husband drive me to the hospital. Instead of staying by my side, he rushed back home for a World of Warcraft raid. His excuse? His friends were counting on him and they'd be pissed if he let them down. FML
Today, I've not had any contact with my mother for years, and when tornadoes came through our hometown and wiped out most of our downtown area, she didn't contact me at all. I finally contacted her myself. Her reason for not contacting me? She had "watched the news" and "knew I was OK." FML
Today, my social anxiety got so bad that I nearly had a panic attack when too many people joined my World of Warcraft party. FML
Today, I went to help a friend move into her new apartment. We were half-way through when it started to rain, and in my anger I yelled that it's like these things happen just to annoy me. Then we heard the tornado sirens. FML
Today, we had our busiest day at work all year with lots of angry people calling, and a co-worker called in sick. I went to my local game shop after work, exhausted and upset, and guess who was at his usual table running a Dungeons and Dragons group, apparently not too sick to go out. Yeah. FML
Today, I got bored and decided to try World Of Warcraft. FML
Today, my fiancé nervously sat me down for a "serious chat". The chat wound up with him asking if we could postpone our wedding, because his World of Warcraft guild had a raid scheduled for the same day. FML
Today, it was my two year anniversary with my boyfriend. As we were about to exchange gifts, he got a call and said he had to go home immediately. What was the emergency? His guild leader couldn't find another healer to finish a raid and promised my boyfriend gear if he would step up. FML
Today, I lied when my therapist asked why I preferred Tuesday morning appointments. It's actually because World of Warcraft is down for regularly scheduled maintenance. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Perhaps your local friends and neighbors had more pressing duties to get to, like their own families and their own lives to sort out before they could get around to seeing that you were ok.

Like a couple others have said, did you try to reach out to any of them to make sure they were ok? Plus, there was EIGHT tornados, you weren't they only one affected; for all you knew one of your friends houses could've been destroyed and they were trying to pick up whatever belongings survived.

I live in Indiana and there was absolutely no local coverage of what happened in Kokomo where I live.

Same here. Only way I knew was internet. I love in southern Indiana.

Only thing I heard was tornado warning in the area of Kokomo on the radio. There was no mention of a number or anything like that.

The whole town was out of power until early Friday morning and Indy had one on the north side so the news was focused on that.

Southwestern Hoosier here. I don't know you personally OP, and therefore couldn't contact you, but I've been thinking about all of you up there. I know that kind of weather isn't as common in the central region as it is down here in the boot toe, and eight funnels in one day is a lot. It sounds like you're safe, which is good, and I hope your loved ones are as well. Hope you haven't suffered too much damage. It's probably not much consolation but we are definitely thinking of you guys down here!

Well it's nice that a person who you know through a video game is caring about your well-being
