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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, while watching TV at my mother's house, a tornado warning came across the screen. After being in the dark, nasty basement for half an hour, my mom realized she was watching a recorded show, and that tornado warning was for 2 weeks ago. 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 a tornado warning and I told my parents I loved them, just in case. My dad just said, "See you in Kansas." FML
Today, I woke up at 4AM to the sound of lightning hitting a tree in my backyard, then that tree proceeding to hit my house. Later, my neighbor's tree fell over, which hit our fence, and they're not even home. FML
Today, I was woken up by my TV falling down. Good news: It still works. Bad news: I don't know how it happened, so I'm worried it could happen again at any time and potentially break for real. FML
Today, I drove to a party after getting my car back from the shop. A thunderstorm started as I made my way there and upon arriving, the power went out. The guests decided to watch the storm from the front windows when someone mentioned how funny it would be if a tree fell on my car. Seconds later, one did. FML
Today, I woke up to a loud bang. Thinking someone had broken in, I grabbed my hunting knife and ran downstairs, only to find my TV on the floor, completely destroyed, and my cat casually sitting next to it without a care in the world. FML
Today, a storm dropped a tree across my road. I would have moved it with my tractor, but there was a tree on that too. FML
Today, there was a forest fire in my town. I was still forced to go to school, as it was safer. A lot of people decided not to go, and we ended up doing nothing but watching the news reports. There, I got to see my house burning on live TV. FML
Today, I was on a friend's trampoline trying to convince my mom that trampolines are safe and we should get one. While telling her, I smashed my knee into my face. I jumped off bleeding, slipped, hit my head on the trampoline, and got knocked unconscious. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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

I agree with you #15. A trampoline can be replaced. A family member can't, glad to hear that you and your family are safe OP.

Trampoline: $40 TV: $200 Watching a trampoline flying on TV only to realize it was yours later on: Priceless. For everything else, there's a credit/debit card...

#72 Because now at least they have something to boast about in light of their situation. "Hey neighbor, did you see the trampoline flying through the air? Well, it was ours! We made the news!"

I think the trampoline was just confused on who was supposed to be jumping in the air

Trampolines just generally like to escape captivity. I once had a water trampoline that got 'lost' on a lake after a storm.

Hopefully it just ended up in someone else's yard. Free trampoline!

Typically when sirens are blaring people aren't outside. They're in their shelter. At least that's how it is here in Oklahoma. We take that shit seriously... May of last year was terrible.

103-- most Oklahomans are the same way, honestly. When the El Reno tornado hit, everyone at my BIL's work place went on with their business (as well as the place next door) until it was literally right there. Everywhere I know just goes about business as usual until we see actual evidence of said tornados. These random earthquakes, however, keep taking us by surprise.

1st) love the name. 2nd) in a storm that dangerous, be thankful it's just your trampoline and not your house or even your family!
