Does Anyone Else Like Thunderstorms?

Glad you all liked the photo... in all fairness it was taken in Connecticut early in the summer of '09... and probably doesn't belong in the Florida forum... but I saw the thunderstorm topic and was compelled to respond as I absolutely LOVE the light shows.

 

Thank you for posting it no matter where it's from!

 

I love the sound...the smell and the feel

when i was young and reckless one of my favorite things to do was go for a bike ride in summer thunderstorms and hit every puddle

 

Haven't Seen This Thread Before But As I Type Tis 4.06pm Here, And I Have Been

Enjoying A T-Storm For The Last Half Hour.

The Front Should Pass Through In About 15mins.

Tis Far Enough Away To Get The Full Effect Of The Thunder, But Not So Close As

To Cause Me To Crawl Under The Bed....

My Favourite Time For A T-Storm Is Around Daybreak, Just Being Woken By The Sound

Of An Approaching Storm, And As I Lay There Half Asleep It Gets Closer And Louder

Till Finally Heavy Rain Hits My Steel Roof And I Snuggle Even Tighter

Under The Blankets....

Another Of Mother Natures Performances That Has Made Me Smile Since I Was

A Little "Rug-Rat"....

I love thunderstorms, with lots of freaky lightning especially. I like to sit at the picture window watching (and dry).
Once, years ago, I actually saw lightning come through a kitchen window to strike at water running from the faucet. There was a Loud Pop - but no damage. seriously that is the truth.
And those were beautiful pics stinkfoot.

 

GLENGLEN, are you actually able to sleep under a tin roof with rain pounding away atop?
I do realize most ppl just LUV this and are able to snooze away just fine. I guess that is just another of my idiosyncrasies...I would need lots of drugs to be able to sleep under a tin roof with rain pounding...reminds me of herds of horses or other large animals running over my head.

 

I Don't Sleep, I Just Lay Back, Close My Eyes, And Enjoy It....

Love thunderstorms, especially down here in TX. So much open land here you can see a storm before/or after it hits you while being in complete sunlight...it's amazing.

 

Very much so !

I used to run and hide, that was after I got hit - not anymore - I enjoy when the giants play in the sky

Also love those rare winter thunderstorms, it's like just one huge lightning out of nowhere - yeah

 

I live in MN, so we get a lot of them in the spring and a few in the summer. I love them. The lightning, the hail, the cool rain, the thunder. I love it all. It's my favorite part of the year.

 

Love to watch thunderstorm roll thru. Most of all love to watch them durign the night, even when there are a distance away.

 

Here's a beauty I found online. I'm pretty sure this is in Florida.

 

Hell yeah i love thunderstorms! Especially when the wind picks up and gets wild. (We dont get tornados at all where i live or any really extreme weather apart from it getting ridiculously hot in summer). Storms are especially good when you have some yummy company

 

I love storms...it makes me want to cuddle up on the couch with my old lady and watch movies

 

Yes I was an active stormchaser for some years

 

Nothing more fun to watch. A thunderstorm is amazing to see, lightning storms are supreme though.

Rainy weather inspires me. I like that.

 

Hempfield Tornado dont like town named after something it does not have.. Where is the HEMP?..

silly humans have no respect for Mother Nature..

 

I absolutely love thunderstorms. All that electricity in the air makes me feel like I've got some kind of buzz going on. Also love the way the air smells. Unfortunately living in Alaska they are a very rare occurrence.

 

It's about to start storming here in Orlando agan this afternoon; as well as tornado watches for every county in about 100 miles.

 

Can't wait to move back to Florida this summer. Miss those afternoon thunderstorms!
