Who likes thunderstorms?

Post by ColeD » Sun Mar 17, 2019 12:28 pm

I love thunderstorms, especially when they are forming and it's windy and the dark clouds form but not it's not raining yet. I like to drive in them too sometimes, but I don't like driving in heavy rain.

Although I like to listen to the rain and thunder in bed or at home where it's safe.

Not me. And this is coming from someone who's grown up with them on a daily basis every summer in Florida.

Yeah. I’m not really a big fan of being in them, but I find them to be fairly interesting.

I like thunderstorms as well. Especially at night when you get a nice lightning show in the sky.

I Love thunderstorms as well. Unfortunately, I live in Southern California, so this is basically a one in every 2 year thing. Last time I remember a thunderstorm was over a year ago!

Late response, sorry, but I find the science and stuff like that interesting.

I do. One of my other hobbies is storm chasing.
