Lost my entire house this past May due to a fire. Everything we owned was gone. Since I am the last person on my side of the family I had all the old family pictures. I lost my mom's ashes as well.
I had a house with floor to ceiling windows on pretty much the entire back of the house. Lovely until a raised chair I was sitting in on the deck got hung up, tipped, and sent me backwards thru one of the windows. Plate glass & I will never scoff at a home inspection report after that freak accident.

For those of you who lost homes due to fire or water or some other unforeseen catastrophe, please know that I am sorry you had to go through something so awful. The petty annoyances I've encountered are nothing to what you lived through. You have my respect for carrying on.
Nothing terrible here. I've had woodpecker problems a few times and second floor plumbing leaks. Once, the waterproofed crawl space filled with water during a power outage, storm. The neighbor's big oak fell into my side yard during a storm, but I only lost a couple of fence panels.
I've been lucky to never have an damage to any home I ever lived in.
After I moved out of my childhood home, many years later on new years day my parents heard a huge crash. An old tall huge tree about 100 feet tall or more had fallen, but since their lot is 150 feet long it didn't do much damage besides knock a piece of siding off and damage the fence. There was some damage to a neighbor's home, but that home had been abandoned since the owner had died and no one claimed it. The damage was to the back porch, but the home was eventually leveled and a new home was built in it's place.
