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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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.

How are people voting YDI...they didn't purposely cause the tornado, or trampoline to fly off
brianjman14 23
How do you know they didn't?

FML Admins: Sounds like a candidate for the FML FAQ

#13 I legitimately feel bad when I accidentally hit YDI lol
bfsd42 20
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
brand125 17
^ sorry i meant to say the op didnt see it fly out of their yard

Oh ok thanks I get it now
