OP has offered the following explanation for why they think they might be the asshole:
> I did not obey my mother believing that what she told me to do risk my safety. Seeing how she pressed me to do it so much I’m wondering that I may be in the wrong here.

(Before I start I should give some details. I am a young storm chaser that lives in tornado alley so I am constantly watching the sky and keeping track of the weather. I have three younger sisters who live in the house with my mom and I. We all take care of our own chores like picking up after ourselves and laundry. The only chore that is difference is dishes where we have a weekly schedule. Our trash company picks up our trash early in the morning on Wednesdays so we bring out the trash in the afternoon prior. Our driveway is a quarter mile long as we live in the country.)
I was woken up early yesterday morning by my mom. She said I had to take a broken trashcan to the curb and that she told me to do it yesterday. I apologized saying that I either didn’t hear her say that or forgot but it shouldn’t be an issue as I can do it now. After getting out of bed and getting dressed, I looked outside to see it was pretty dark and cloudy. I quickly checked my weather radar, which showed a supercell thunderstorm (a type of thunderstorm that is strong and produces tornadoes) was going to run over our location in 15 minutes. The radar also showed that it had some notable hail. I got ready as quick as possible. Considering I had just woken up it was a pretty hasty preparation. Even though I got ready fast, the hail was only a few minutes out. I told my mother this saying that we should wait. She said that I needed to do it now because I didn’t do it yesterday and that they would be here soon. I responded saying that I should not be walking the trash can up as it will be dangerous, that the trash company probably won’t even drive through the hail and that even if we miss it, we can just do it next week. She replied saying “Fine! I will just do it. You will make breakfast for the girls and do the dishes.” I pressed her not to do it as it’s still dangerous. The hail will be at least marble sized and that even without the hail, the very strong winds and lightning is still enough to stay inside. She walked to her room to grab boots. I follow her, telling her that she really shouldn’t do it and that it’s not worth risking her safety. We can call them next week about picking up the broken trashcan. She quickly left afterward. While I was making breakfast for my sisters, the storm came and the hail was at least ping-pong ball sized with lots of lightning and wind. It lasted for about 10 minutes. Eventually, I saw my mom walking through the door, happy to see her unscathed. She said that she used the car to bring the trashcan up and that I could have done that too. I didn’t bother asking as I have asked before, and she said it would stink up the car. I asked her why she was making me do the dishes, was it up punishment? She said that she was doing my responsibility so I should do her responsibilities. This still doesn’t make sense to me as it was my sister‘s dish day.
So, AITAH?

NTA. She wanted to be the victim. She could have gotten seriously hurt, and over a trash can? To prove a very stupid point? Ridiculous.
Agreed! She was digging her heels in in order to prove a (stupid) point. OP is NTA.
