Thread: Thunderstorms

I know it may sound weird, but I absolutely love thunderstorms. Thunder and lightning are two amazing feats of nature. Both extremely powerful and deserving respect. I enjoy sitting in the middle of the night, on out screened in porch, smoking a cigar, drinking scotch or white russians and just watching the storm. The electricity in the air is one of my favorite feelings. Almost the same electrical feeling before a massive storm hits and you know the sky is about to let loose.

An idea for you fellow storm lovers is that a storm makes a great backdrop for a "fine" night with the significant other. This is where the porch really comes in handy.

I was just pondering who else here likes to watch/listen to thunderstorms.

Yes! I love thunderstorms. I spent this summer in Silicon Valley, and possibly the biggest thing I missed (besides the obvious friends/family and such) was thunderstorms. I think it rained once the entire time I was there, and I almost didn't notice it (very disappointing). The vibration from fireworks on the 4th of July truly made me homesick for Michigan weather.

You, my friend, have brought up one of my favorite things in life! I LOVE sitting on my Grandads back porch to watch the lightning. His field backs up to woods on 2 sides and everytime there's a "bad" storm there's sure to be a great show :-)

that is my favorite part! The short earthquake after one strikes really close! It's gotten so close it's knocked a plate off the wall :-) grand ma wasn't to happy though :P

Yep. thunder, lightning, and medium-to-heavy rain....

even though I hate bad weather, I love the feeling of the elements showing you who's boss.
I'm the kind of guy that would drive to the ocean just to watch the storm.
Thunderstorms scare my girlfriend, but I love them, and it makes a great moment for snuggling up indeed!

We don't get much thunder and lightning where I live now, but I've enjoyed many a good storm in my time. The wind I don't enjoy too much, but the rain can just keep on coming. I love the smell in the air too. And storm sex is great, there's no two ways about that.

Thunderstorms are few and far between here in Arizona. We have five or six in a year but when they come, it is a fireworks display worth watching. I live in a valley surrounded by mountains giving me a panoramic view of multiple strikes. I feel sorry for my two dogs though, they go into a state of panic at the sound of the thunder. anybody else have dogs that get spooked easy?

My first family dog was terrified of thunder. We were in the car once with him and he got so scared he tried getting under the front seat. He ended up wedging himself underthere to where he couldnt get out, and got even MORE freaked out. He ****ed all over the car, and it took butter to grease him up enough to get him out. That was a long, long night.

My current dog, thinks she can take on thunder. She stands up proudly and barks as loud as she can saying, "your not the only one that can make noise you know!!!!!!!!!"

Sitting on the porch with a cup of coffee, a smoke and a book during a thunderstorm...life doesn't get much better!!
