Damn, I love thunder! Mom was from Helena, Montana and we'd go visit the grandparents there every summer. Rocky Mountain thunderstorms, what a hoot. I'd sit in a big rocker on the covered porch and just bounce with excitement. "Whooeeee, a strike! Set 'em up in the next alley, boys, we're hot tonight!" Y'gotta love it.

Move to the south. We have thunderboomers damn near every afternoon during the summer.

To see it in motion, certainly.

Look at the TWX+ - we're close to that.

And the red means serious storm. The storm fronts converging means extra strength, and the rapid movement means serious energy.

Boom.

Yes Toto but I didn't think you lived in Kansas

Enjoy the free outdoor light show!

We had a storm last night, one this morning, and one a couple of hours ago. Everything else that is nearby is south of us. It looks like it's possible we might get your stuff tomorrow though. They're forecasting storms again.

Yep, it's here.

 

[CrimsonMaiden]

Yeah, we just caught the tip of it earlier. It was mostly rain with just a small amount of thunder and lightning thrown in. Looked more ominous than that though.

yeah, it's mostly rain, nothing to get excited about.

Had to drive through the cell that hit MO, AK, & TN tonight. Chains of lighting across the sky. Terrain is flat-flat-flat, so you can see the storm clouds a few miles off, drifting like jellyfish, tendrils of blue rain touching the ground.

When I headed into it, the sun was setting in my rear-view mirror, sky banded gold and blue. When I drove out of it, my rear-view mirror was full of bruises and blacks.

Then when I reach my new apartment, it caught up with me. Would've been very romantic if I'd had a) a bed and b) Mrs. Oblimo around to share it with.

 

[TE999]

yeah, we need it, too.

We need it three. Had one ditch-washer 2 days ago and that's it.

I looove to sit out under the lanai and watch a storm come rolling in, smell the ozone from the lightning and hear the thunder rumbling.

Better than any movie or tv show.

Oncoming (and ongoing) thunderstorms turn me on too much. Would much rather be on a couch or in bed with a nearby window wide open then spectating.

When I was a kid, I used to really like thunderstorms, especially at night. I liked to sit on a porch and hear and see the rain and sometimes see a streak of lightening and hear the thunder booming. I was never the least bit afraid of it, like some folks I met later. At the same time, I had sense enough to stay away from places that might get hit by lightening.

*nods*

But that lil' scenario requires an equally aroused (or at least cooperative) partner.

Just call me a spectator.

*sigh*

St. Louis doesn't. On another drive through the area a month or so ago, I pulled into a truck stop where, normally, there's a truck repair shop and a host of rigs on the other side of the street down a gradual slope. But this time, there was nothing but a lake with nothing but the tops of twin exhaust pipes peeking above the waterline.

So far today, it's just been a lot of rain (I got soaked coming out of wally world). The temp has dropped almost 20 degrees since the rain started. I do hear some distant thunder, but I don't think it's anything serious.

*nose pressed to the window* C'mon thunder and lightning!

 

[shereads]

I used to enjoy the raw power of storms. That's when I was (A) a renter, so not particularly concerned about what might get broken and (B) had not yet experienced five days without electricity in August in Miami.

Sweet nostalgia.
