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

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

So everyone should crowd into the few areas on the planet where there are no earth-quakes, tornados, hurricanes, droughts... I think Gaza, Iraq, or Afghanistan fits that description

the earthquake death toll per year in the usa is like 2. the tornato death rate is like 100times that. you can build homes to withstand eathquakes. tornados are much more dangerous

You and your family are safe and you're complaining about a trampoline? It can be replaced. Family can't. Take it from someone who knows.

This is a humour website. Their trampoline flying off and getting on TV is humorous. That's why OP posted it here. I'm pretty sure they're not really complaining about it, and they realise that they got lucky.

I feel your pain a bit regarding the trampoline being lost. That happened to me two years ago, April 16th. Trampoline disappeared like Houdini. Only difference is that I didn't see mine on TV. Still, I was rather sad. So I feel your pain.

Last year, after a storm, my friend stepped out into her backyard and found a trampoline. It belonged to her neighbor, and merely just hopped the fence.
