Thunderstorms.

do you like thunderstorms?

personally i love them the bigger the better. its storming right now whch is awesome, though its a pretty wimpy storm.no loud thunder,not much lightning. would be awesome were it bigger. havent had too many storms here lately so its nice to get anything.

how about you OT? whats your take on thunderstorms? love them? hate them?

I love them assuming it's also raining and it's not too close to the house.

Depends on whether or not I want/need to get outside.

I love a rainy, foggy day. Thunderstorms are great, but I sort of prefer them a few miles away. I like to see and hear them without actually worrying about my electricity going out.

I love them!

I like when I can see the big ones from a distance, the tallness of them, all bubbling up into space. Thunder wakes me up so during the night that aint nice, during the day when the sun is still out and shines through the droplets is nice too, like a free giant shower outdoors is what those like.

Scary,they are.

I prefer solar storms.BranKetra

I love them as well. I love the smell, lights, and the sounds. It's just exciting.

I don't like them.

Love thunderstorms. Wish it would happen more often here.ExoticAnimal

I live in central florida, for a long time it was considered the lightning capital of the world. Until around a decade ago, it changed to a country in Africa. In the summer time when it's hot and humid, which is everyday in the summer down here. You can expect thunderstorms in the area every day. I remember sometimes when I would stay at my grandparent's house, they have a living room where there are windows everywhere. It's like being in a fish bowl. I remember one night in particular there was a really bad lightning storm. I'm talking a flash of lightning every 3 seconds. It lasted for around half an hour. We just sat in the living room in the dark at night and just watched the show commence. It's one of my most memorable times I had when I was really young. Ever since then, the most soothing sound I can think of is the sound of a thunderstorm rumbling off in the distance. It's like a lullaby for me.

i used to live in Florida, lived in Tampa Bay. near the beach/gulf. forget exactly what it was called, would go shell hunting for these pretty nifty shells, still have one on my dresser. we actually didnt get that many storms in my recollection. we were there durng a hurricane. i wanna say this was in the late 90s. at the time i was unaffected either way.

though there was nightly heat lightning which i always found fascinating.

Not a huge fan of thunderstorms but I do like winterstorms you know when the wind is blowing and stuff.

I love me some thunder and lightning, especially at the beach where I can see the bolts streak across the sky over the ocean

i love witnessing the awesome forces of nature...so long as the power doesn't go out and the storm is tame

i absolutely hate cold wind. it will find a way inside your clothes and i hate it blowing on my face. fvcks wth my allergies.:P

I just to be scared of them when I was younger, but now they don't bother me and I actually enjoy them now.

thats one of the better parts.:D

then about five minutes later you go to do something and flip the light switch then wonder why the lights not working. or you decide to play some video games only to find oout it wont turn on then get pissed:lol:

i do that alot during power outages.:P

i just got an awesome visual.

i need to see this before i die.

OH man.. I thought I was alone! I LOVE thunderstorms. I find it so nice to be inside with the blinds open (so you can see outside) and look out to see all the chaos. Then you can go back to gaming knowing that all that terribleness (lol, I can't think of a better "word") is locked outside :) Yeah, maybe NOW I'm the only one...

had a massive storm while camping at the beach last summer, knocked out power in town for a long time (didnt affect me, no power camping anyways) but as it moved away, i took a walk to the shore and watched the lightning over the ocean. I had never seen so many bolts before, it was non-stop

Looked a lot like this

I don't mind the rain, but I detest lightning. I lost a PC due to that.

The bolt went through the cable internet line instead of the electrical, so the surge protector couldn't stop it.

Needless to say, whenever I hear thunder, I disconnect my cable line.

i have a kinda related story.

a while ago our house or w/e got struck by lightning. we lost like 5 TVs and my N64. N64 wouldnt work at all.

for some reason we still kept the N64.never got around to getting rid of it. then about half a year later, i was cleaning and somehow accidentally hit the on switch(yes t was still plugged in all that time:P ) and to my surprise saw the red light light up.was overjoyed. it still works fine to this day.

Lucky you.:P

My cable modem was fine, but the bolt fried my network card and some other parts. Had to buy a new PC.

I love them, been in a few tornadoes as well.

I don't mind them, but I don't like them when I'm in bed trying to sleep. Over a week ago it was thunderstorming here around 1am and my whole room lit up from the lightning light, then about 2 seconds later there was the whole rumbling sound so the source was pretty near. I didn't really like it so I hid under my blanket until it finished :P

I do like it when it rains, though =]

Every time there's a thunderstorm here I have to watch it, it's too bad we don't get many here :(

I love thunderstorms but we've had a ton of them here in NY this year. Before this year I could probably count on one hand the number of times it's hailed here. The last couple of weeks however it seems to hail with every thunderstorm that passes through. :?
