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...
