Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Mine was in 1981 when I was 10. USC was in town. 60 MPH winds and tons of rain. Dad woke me up at 6:30am to leave at 8am for a 1pm kickoff. Looked outside and saw that our basketball hoop had broke and blown over during the night.
520 Bridge was closed down. Took us 1 hour just to cross I 90 bridge.
Husky Stadium, I remember garbage bags by the dozens swirling throughout the stadium. USC sideline was in misery. Game tied 3-3 late fourth quarter. Chuck Nelson booted a 47 yard field goal. Huskies led 6-3.
Ensuing kickoff got caught up in the wind. Bounced around, pile of bodies in the end zone. Uw's Fred Small recovered in end zone for a touchdown. Huskies won 13-3. Went to Rose Bowl that year. Magical time to be a fan.

All my storm stories start and end with a dirty rainy night in Gorst

Staying til late 4th quarter of the Andrew Luck plungering at Husky Stadium in a downpour.
Taking a girl to the Troy Williams ASU game, losing, and not getting laid. -
I believe that was also the game that the flag broke free from the flag pole and ended up in the lake. There was no kneeling at the time, because 80s people weren't whiny fucks.
And DJ (the real one, not the degenerate here) was said to have given Fred Small a big kiss after that play in a Seattle Times article. NTTAWWT -
We were ready to go watch our Olympia Bears play at Stevens Field when the power went out as the Columbus Day storm hit late Friday afternoon.
I was convinced that they would play anyway and we were going to miss it. -
We attended a shit game, played by a shit Ty team, in shit weather in 2007. Can't remember the opponent. We left at halftime. It was one of the last Husky games I attended.

Do shitstorms count?

I was in Eugene when Hurricane Cobra hit Autzen stadium back in '16. Shit was crazier than a Dawgman chat room.
