Thunderstorms

I remember as a kid, sitting in the porch, watching the loudest, flashiest thunder storm ive ever seen.

Absoluteley loved it, though scared me to death at the same time. The rain was torential, and the sounds
and lights in the sky were fascinating. We dont seem to get them like we used to :)

Ps: Just heard a couple of thunder claps, nothing to shout about though

I don't mind them as much as I used to - I'm ok if I'm in doors and can watch from the doorstep but I'd never go out in it lol

me love it,

i remember a few years ago somethin woke me up about 3 in the morning, heard rain beating down so peeked outside window, at that point a massive bolt of lightening hit the church (bout 5 min walk) behind us.
needless to say i couldnt see jack for next half hour lol

I can sit and watch em all day longgggggggggggggggggg

i love watching a good old storm through the window hehe

yea i love watching thunderstorms aswell we had some thunder an lightening yesterday then a great big rainbow lol so much colour in the sky

Well we ended up with 2 storms in a few hours. The first 1 wasn't massive, but the 2nd 1 was. The 2nd 1 had more rain, heavier rain, more thunder, louder thunder, and far more flashes of lightning. Ironically, after the first storm, the skies cleared, and we had a fair bit of blue sky, but as the time passed, from my bedroom window I was able to see the next storm system in the distance, and could tell it was heading our way. Needless to say, it did. It was quite spectacular too. Don't know why, but I quite enjoyed the fact I could see the next storm system in the distance, and could tell it was heading our way.

well i love em my kids are not so keen they tend to hide lol mind you my puppy don't like them either we were sleeping quite nicely the other night when the storm started and he jumped up ontop of tony and woke him up before climbing in between us for a cuddle awwww poor baby lol

funny thing when thunderstorms are here the animals know to hide aswell dont they. the dogs used to lay there barking at the thunder and as 4 the kids ,we used to love going out jumping about in it ,nan used to run about after us cos she'd say we were bloody crackers or daft sods 4 being out in it

About 30 years ago I was driving backfrom Spain, and I stopped in Orange in France for a bite to eat. This thunderstorm started which was the most ferocious I've ever seen. The rain was that heavy we couldn't see through the windows and the thunder and lightning was absolutely awesome! It was fantastic sat in the dry watching this mega storm outside, I loved it!! Storms are best when you are in the warm and dry looking out.
