All night last night there was a HUGE neverending thunderstorm! I had been waiting forever it seems for one of those! Once, the thunder was SO loud I literally jumped, and the cats were terrified... and it was like in the horror movies, where the sky keeps lighting up and you can see the rain pouring down in the lightning light... against the black trees, and then the thunder... it was awesome!
And now, it's raining again! I know it's because it's a dark/new moon. The weather always goes wonky around those times.
Anyone else love thunderstorms, or other kind of weather like this?

Ah, we had a really nice downpour with thunder the other day... ^_^ Although it wasn't an actual thunderstorm, it always makes me feel very energetic.

It looks like we might have a thunderstorm brewing here *hope hope hope* It's hot and muggy, and we've got black clouds all around, but blue sky above. I hope it at least rains. Rain smells so good in the summer.

No, clear and sunny in California. As always. Slightly foggy off my mesa. But I wouldn't want a thunderstorm right now, it'd scare the new foals, and get all my horses wet.

I love storms, and there's been thunder on and off all day but it scares my dogs. I'm stuck home alone with them this weekend and I really hope they don't get riled up. Bleck.

I used to live in California, where I was lucky if I got one thunderstorm every couple of years. Now I live in Montréal, where we've had more than I can remember just this summer. It's an interesting change. I love them though, thunderstorms, so it's not at all a bad thing. There's nothing more exhilerating than being caught in a storm while out walking and being soaked through by the time you get home. I was staying with my boyfriend once in Sherbrooke, a few hours' drive south of Montréal, and the thunderstorms there were the most intense I've ever experienced. Sherbrooke is in a small river-valley, and many of the buildings are made of brick, so when the thunder sounds it's like a gunshot from only a few feet away and it reverberates off the buildings all up and down the valley. I remember one night, we'd all gone to bed with the windows and the door to the balcony of his apartment open, as summers here are very hot and his building lacked air conditioning (most residences in Québec don't have it, actually), and around 3 in the morning, all of a sudden, a storm hit, rain was coming down sideways, thunder was roaring, and here we were half awake running around closing windows so the rain couldn't get in, hehe. Good times.

I do like thunderstorms, and we had loads when I lived near Chicago. Unfortunately, in England you're lucky if you get a handful a year, and those are scarcely worth being called thunderstorm. Although at the moment, I'm sleeping outside in a tent (don't ask, just felt like it), and so a thunderstorm would maybe not be so fun in a tent...

Oooh, well, I remember camping in a tent when there was a thunderstorm. It was awesome!! Like, awesomely frightening... but I like frightening, as long as I know my life isn't in danger. Actually, who knows, maybe my life was in danger! But I'm ok now, I think. XD

I went to Michigan ten years ago (family reunion) and we were camping in my cousin's front yard, and there was the most spectacular thunderstorm that I've ever seen out over Lake Superior.
Here in Oregon, we get a few thunderstorms every year. I think we've had three this summer already, but nothing really big.

*lives in Michigan* We do have some pretty nice storms, and a lot of them too once summer gets started. We've had about four this year with hail, a day with flashfloods, and plenty of tornado warnings.
