Are you old enough to remember 1993 superstorm?

[llorando]

FIY, 1993 superstorm was a massive snow storm that hit the east coast (US). Tomorrow (March 12) marks it's 30th anniversary.

1993 Superstorm

Yes

No

Didn't vote. I'm old enough to remember, but I don't remember this specific event. However, I do vividly remember the great flood of 1993 that affected the Mississippi River valley, as well as parts of the Missouri and Ohio River drainages. It rained for weeks on end in many areas and at one point every county in Iowa was flooded and deemed a disaster area.

Old enough, yes, Do I remember it, no. For the most part, weather is like dreams to me. Quickly forgotten. If it was only in the north-east, that's probably why I don't remember it.

[llorando]

Wasn't just the north east, was the whole east coast,

[TenderFantasy]

By that time in '93 I was already in Cali so yeah... and I was only 9. What kid really cares about the weather lol.

[llorando]

"What kid really cares about the weather" The one's counting on school to be canceled cause of snow.

@llorando 😛

[EmmaMary]

I was actually born in 1993... That's probably why there was a "superstorm"!! 😂🙂

[najekim]

Yeah, I remember that one. Had to fly in it. The airport we left shut down right after we took off. And the one we landed in was 60% power outage. Oh, and the fun part of the flight, dropping, I estimated 500 feet, straight down due to turbulence.

[LickwidSkie]

I remember it. Our power was out for a week. We had a gas heater though. After a few days I couldn't deal with not having a shower. We had city water so we still had running water. I will never forget how cold of a shower that was lol.

[Guy13]

Interesting. Apparently, I need to look at the weather forecast. Is this what is coming?

[llorando]

This has already happened 30 years ago hence the name "1993 superstorm".

[exitseven]

I do not remember it being such a big deal. I lived through the blizzard of 1978

Let it snow.

[Christoff92]

Mama Mia. Was 13 at the time. You must have been still in your diapers. But it's good that you have good memories of it 😀

[llorando]

Was a month a way from being 4 years old, so no diapers.

[ARWINGx1]

1993... at that time, I'd only be 1 year old. Plus that since I don't live in the US, (I live in Scandinavia. Specifically, Sweden) that makes all the less likely that I'd know about this.

[RockyHammock]

I dont have many memories from when I was 3 years old, can you recall those memories?

[llorando]

Was 4 years old when the storm took place and still have memories of it.

[RockyHammock]

That's wild haha do you have a photogenic memory?

[OlderAndWiser]

I am old enough to remember the 1958 snowfall in Jacksonville.

[Moose304]

I remember it VIVIDLY! I spent almost 2 full days in our operations center When I finally got in bed I slept for a long time!

[SnowedIn]

Yep. I was 19 and lived through it in Rhode Island.

[Dargil]

I was a toddler but where I lived, I was told we had 24" snow on the level.

[AviatorTom]

I'm old enough but I don't remember that storm as being particularly memorable.

[DancingQueen16]

Nope because that happened 10 years before I was even born

[sheikalana]

I was already born but don't remember seeing any of this.

[Anonymous]

The "storm of the century"?

I remember a bunch of east coasters whining because they got a little snow. Here in the upper Midwest we just call that "winter". 😆😆😆

[annabananna]

I don’t remember because I was two but I have pictures.

[Alltheflowers84]

I do recall it, schools were shut down for a few days.

[douride2]

I'm old enough to remember but I don't recall it.

[Pudsmucker]

I did not live in the East Coast area but I do know the storm. The snow seemed to shut down a lot of the East coast.

[Anonymous]

i was 2 years old and live nowhere near that area so...
