Hurricane Ida. We ended up not leaving, but I wish we did, and I will for future Cat 3 and above storms.
When the eye wall got over my house, it decided to stall out and every minute for like 6 hours it sounded like my house was being ripped apart brick and board by brick and board. I lost my roof, but my neighbor lost most of his house, which is what I was hearing parts of his house hitting mine.
Guy down the street whole side of his house caved in so he rode out the rest of the storm sitting in his truck.

My gf when I lived there was an Angolan, Portuguese, Brazilian mix. The mullatas there were top rate at that time. I’m sure it’s still the case.

I and several friends were squirrel hunting around Lake Sardis back in the early 2000's. We had been hunting all day and made it to the very top of Lake Sardis. We were standing under a large oak tree in a low spot near the lake which was dry where we were. We all heard a very deep, low, long guttural growl from nearby. It was the kind of growl that you can feel reverberate in your own chest. Think the T. Rex in Jurassic Park type growl. Every hair on my body stood on end.
Similar experience, in high school, me and friends in an altered state, walking from my parents' house down a trail to a creek, late at night, very dark, no flashlights. About 6 feet in front of me, a growl exactly like you described, but pitch black couldn't see. We hauled arse back to the house in sheer terror. It was either a bear (not common in the area at the time) or a squatch.

I was with my high school girlfriend and we were walking a trail in a nearby state park. The trail ended at a central area with a lakeside beach, parking, picnic areas, etc. It was near the end of winter and the place was deserted.
Beside the beach there was a big two story pavilion with a central staircase that went up from the concession area below to a covered shelter and then a walkway to the parking lot and car. I’d been there 1000 times.
We got to the foot of the stairs and I froze. I had an intense feeling of dread about going up those stairs. The hair stood up on the back of my neck. Before I could say anything she squeezed my hand and said “we should go around”. We circled way back around the building and got in our car and left.
In the car she said she had the same feeling I described at the same moment. I don’t know what that was or what would’ve happened if we hadn’t turned around but that was one of the creepiest things I ever experienced. That was 35 years ago and I remember it like it was yesterday.

Was wading through pure flooded swamp/timber about waist high to get to duck hole at Sherburne WMA. No dry land for a half a mile. It was still dark of course . Using spot light I could see a pair of glowing eyes in water. Gator. We stop and see if there’s a way we can go around and then realize there was a group of them all around. We immediately backed up and went around a good 50-100yds. Was legit scared.
Another time was trying to score alcohol in HS and knew an acquaintance that said he could get it. He was a bit trashy but I trusted him. I didn’t have cash but did have a paycheck. On the way, he showed me how to use a check cashing service at gas station in Shreveport and then we went to some house of his while he got the alcohol. The house had unfinished floors and straight up looked like a drug den. I never felt so out of place and realized how out of touch I was.

Tent camping on the Backbone trail in Kisatchie and a tornado warning came through. We bushwhacked quickly into a ravine to get lower. Came back to a thrashed tent. We hiked out in the rain and mud with headlamps.

Years back, at brightside bar and grill. Me and a group of my friends used to go there to break up the monotony of the work week. Well, this one time, we're hanging out drinking at a table and some guy walks in, no shirt, swim trunks, covered in mud, and breathing heavily. There were a few people there, so no one really noticed him. I saw him, and then watched him go in the bathroom. A few minutes later, i see cop cars come into the parking lot and drive behind the bar to the empty field. I started putting 2 and 2 together. About a minute later, dirty swim suit guy comes back out and stays at the far end of the bar. One of my friends goes up to the bar to get a drink, I go with her. I'm eyeing this dude down the whole time and watch him as he starts crying. At that moment, police officers bust into brightside, guns drawn, yelling at the guy to get down with his hands behind his back. I sort of push my friend towards the door, and try to motion to the bartender (another one of my friends) to get down behind the bar. Guns still drawn i start backing my way out of the bar to the patio area, where my group had moved to.
That "feeling" is what God gave us to warn us of danger. I often forget myself now that i am older, but every now and then, an event happens somewhere that reminds me to be conscious of all the exits.
ETA: Oh, and come to find out, there was a pool party at that apartment next to bside. Guy apparently got in a fight, came back and fired some shots in the air, then ran.

What was the scariest “We need to leave… now” gut feeling that you’ve ever experienced?

1980-something, Auburn, AL, I was a delivery driver for the then new and cool concept of delivery pizza - Domino's, "30 minutes fast or free". There is only one small part of Auburn that is kind of shaky, it was nothing like bigger college towns back then. Well, late one night we get an order from that part of town. I take the pie and head out. I had been clever enough to get one of those big 6 volt flashlights that used the old big rectangular batteries with two spring terminals on them. For that era, it was very bright, and I used it to find street/house numbers (pre maps on your phone days, in case its not obvious). Pizza orders usually had a phone number on the order in case you had trouble finding them.
So I drive down this street twice, and the address on the delivery does not exist. It might be a vacant lot, but I'm not delivering a pie there in the middle of the night with no street lights! I also don't bother with the nearest pay phone, because I was certain the address is wrong and something didn't feel right. I head back to the store. A bit later, we get an irate call from the "customer". Manager chews me out and sends another "more competent" driver.
The other driver stopped at the nearest pay phone, probably the only one for a mile or more, and the "customers" were waiting for him there. Robbed for his tip money, the pizzas, and anything else they could take.

Neighborhoods in Baghdad with no kids or people milling about…Usually meant they knew something was up.

I hope your manager apologized and gave you a free pizza to take home.

When I was married, the ex-wife and I were in New Orleans and got lost. I got down at a Walgreen's and when I walked in, all eyes were on me. I asked one worker where a certain street was and she legit said "You ain't supposed to be here". She told me the directions and said to leave quickly and not make eye contact with anyone.
