The storm has arrived

[Karen]

Karen, if you like storms,you would be positively giddy at some of ours.

I'm sure I would be, I can be pretty insufferably gleeful during a good storm! T'was always thus - the closest I personally came to getting hit by lightning was when I was next door and a storm blew up. The mom, and therefore the daughter, were terrified of storms and screamed every time the thunder boomed.Rather than hang out with "those ninnies," I ran for home, and I heard them scream loudest yet when I ran past the telephone pole. Afterwards they told me lightning struck the ground right behind me as I ran, I was so intent on getting home, I didn't even notice!

When my daughter was 7 we had a tornado go through our back yard. It took years for the poor thing to feel safe again when a storm came.
I too enjoy a good old thunder storm. My husband and I used to live on the 12 floor of a high rise not far from Lake Erie. We would kneel on our bed and look out the bedroom window at the lightening coming arcoss the lake. It was very romantic. I felt very safe laying next to him with his arms around me and the thunder crashing. Those feelings have never gone away even after 24 years. Ah to be young and in love.
