Thunderstorms - peaceful?

[primabella]

Do you think thunder/lightening storms are peaceful when you are trying to sleep? We had one last night and I love it. I find them so peaceful and just makes me think of the beauty of nature. Anyone else think so? Maybe that's just me

(I'm curious ):

I love thunderstorms as long as I have shelter I can go into very close by. I'll sit out on the back deck at my parents house and watch them roll in until my mom gets nervous and makes me come in. I love staying up late to watch the lightning and hear the thunder.

I have been caught in a few without shelter and it's a very terrifying experience.

[primabella]

Of course, I only enjoy them when I know I'm safe.

My dad used to sit out on the balcony during lightning storms while we were vacationing in Florida. We had an ocean view from the back and he would just watch. It's so nice.

I'm absolutely terrified of thunder The stupid part is, I'm not nearly as afraid of lightning.. my dad is also scared of thunder and I think that's where I get it from. Whenever it starts to thunder, I start to sweat and shake, and if it's at night, I can't sleep.

I love to hear thunderstorms In the summer time when we go to my parents sometimes we sit out on the back porch and watch the storms roll up I think it is really neat.

My mom and I are thunderstorm freaks! We drive out to the boonies (sp?) to watch the lightning, since it is hard to see it in the city. I *love* thunderstorms and lightning. I *HATE* it when you are sleeping and a big boom of thunder shakes the house and makes you wet the bed (j/k). lol. I do find them peaceful at times yes. I especially find it peaceful when you can see the lighting in the distance, but you can't hear any thunder.

I had a rather scary experience this past summer at camp with a thunderstorm. Ugh! I will never forget it. Don't know if ya want me to share it or not...

HELL NO! I'm extremely scared of thunder/lightning, and so is Tina. Rain on the other hand, I find totally soothing and nice to go to sleep during

[bluekat]

My mom loves it! I used to be soooooo afraid of thunder and lightning, and I think I still am. But I do like a little bit of rain- ONLY when I'm sleeping! I don't really like rain.

[catland]

we don't get very many thunderstorms out here, so they are a special occasion. I really like the sound. I also like the sound of a really good, hard rain.

[primabella]

Yeah, the hard rain is the best!

I *HATE* it when you are sleeping and a big boom of thunder shakes the house and makes you wet the bed (j/k).

Heehee

I LOVE the rain. I like thunder sometimes but hate lightning. I can never enjoy the rain though because I always worry about the countless animals out trapped in it

I worry about another thing too but I don't wanna say it on here because its really sad

[Cisco's Mom]

Yea I enjoy a good rain, but I don't care about the thunder waking me up! Nothing better to relax to than the sound of rain coming down. I know here in Fl we have electrical storms. Just a whole lot of lightening and nothing else. This is really cool amd makes really neat pics.

[Kfamr]

i like them and i don't like them.

I like when it's just a small storms but normally down here storms mean tornados and strong wids or even hurricanes and it's very scary.

[Desert Arabian]

Kfamr- I agree! When the tornado siren went off, OMG, I spazed! I was literally running around screaming and crying. I grabbed the cat and wrapped him in a towel and put him in the cat carrier. We all went downstairs, luckily it never touched ground.

And when the power goes out...that is a whole nother story!! I hate it when it flashes on and off, that bugs me too!

*We didn't have the rats then.
