Finally!

[Calamity Jane]

The weatherman has been teasing me for two days... promising thunderstorms that never arrive.

As I sit here typing, I can hear the rumble of thunder in the distance, like a promise of violence to come.

Who else loves a good thunderstorm? The rumbling and crashing, electricity sizzling in the air, making your hair stand on end as you sit on the porch watching, or venture out dancing? Rain that starts softly, only to be whipped into a frenzy by the howling wind...

Anyone join me in a walk through the storm?

 

[Debbie]

No thanks. I am the hide under the bed type during thunderstorms. Unfortunately the cat is under there also and he makes me sneeze! Hubby loves them though.

I've got some great pics of a double rainbow for 2½ years ago, when I was at a cousins' farm in Durango, Co, just after a violent storm.

Lo

 

[Summery]

I absolutely love the thunder and the lightening.
Once and a great while we get a real good storm here in Oregon.
It's even more enjoyable when I can sit here at home and enjoy the storm as opposed to being out in it.
PCG, send some of your storm this way.....please!

 

[Calamity Jane]

If I send a storm back toward the west, you just might have tornadoes in oregon! not what you had in mind, i imagine.

 

[Summery]

I'll take my chances!

Sitting on a porch..... looking into the distance...... seeing the lightning..... then hearing the thunder...... anticipation washing over your body as the barometric pressure falls...... darkness falls slowly with the soft rain....... a light wind rustles through the trees and tousles your hair......

Are you kidding? They don't call me the Mistress of Rain for nothing! I LOVE a good storm. I can't sleep if it starts late at night, I am like a kid on Christmas Eve...I get this excited tingle that runs through my body. Its like a sexual charge for me. I can't get enough of it. My mom swears there must have been a switch at the hospital when I was born...she jokes that I am part witch. If there is a storm brewing close I am always outside.

I'm with you and everybody else who's said they like the rain on this thread. I love thunder and lightening. Never got much of it in California, but got a few good ones last year in CT.

We have something mighty blowing in now too. Don't know if I'll see thunder and lightening, but it's dark outside with howling wind. Love it!

Frankly, I'm not much of a sunshine girl. It's too bright and it gets boring.

 

[MorgaineLaFay]

Me either Ruby. I’ll gladly hang with ya on a dusty porch any day and watch the storm dance by.

Storm

Secret desire #24 ... to make love in a field in the middle of a storm. (damn - not so secret now)

 

[espressolover]

Yes Ruby, I definitely agree.
I've always loved the rainy days more than the sunny ones!
The glare gives me a headache. I would much rather have the softness of clouds...the wind blowing around bringing the smell of the rain.
Colors are muted but at the same time more intense. Ahhh rain!

 

[freakygirl]

I love the rain... the wind.. lightening and thunder

#1 reason why I will never leave Washington

 

[Viscountess]

agreed

One more for ya Ruby

I remember as a kid, Hot summer day in NYC, a wild hail storm. My friends and I doing Rock, Paper, Scissors... the looser had to run from the front door to the street and back. We were all pelted with these huge Iceballs. It may explain alot now, one too many iceballs to the head. Yeah, I love a good storm.

A thunder storm on a hot day, hearing the thunder moving closer, seeing the rain hit on the tar roads causing steam to rise, the smell of the grass and earth getting wet.
I have been told that the first rain that breaks a drought has the best smell about it as it evaporates into the dry dirt.
Feeling raindrops dripping off the end of your nose. My favourite type would be sun showers a sudden outburst then all gone, most people walking around half wet after being caught by it.

Without rain the only life you have is nesting birds.

Anyway I love storms, too. Easy on the hail, though.
I like the colors of the clouds , the feel of the air, the wind, the lightning, the thunder, the feel & sound of the rain, & the way each drop bounces off of a hard surface.

I like when lightning is so close the glare & the sound is like a welding shop ( if you don't know, imagine a strobe light in front of your face & the sound of a light-saber battle.) before the thunder arrives, & the brown cloud of nitrogen that lingers in the air.

Storming out with a candle

I love thunderstorms. The only part I could do without is when the lightning knocks out the electricity.

 

[AriaSilverfyre]

I absolutely adore a good storm. The more lightning the better for me. It tends to make me run around like a hyper-active little kid, but it's sure fun. I ususally sleep through a storm if it appears after I've gone to sleep. However, if it breaks while I'm awake, I stay awake until it's over.

Starfire, that's an interesting idea. I may have to consider it. Now if I can just find a field here in Michigan.... he he he...

I've got lots of candles. Unless i'm on the computer, the power outages don't bother me.

but darlin, that's when you curl up on the front porch swing with a blanket and a bottle of wine... watching the rain sweep across the fields, the trees bend to the ground, the lightning chase itself across the sky... power outages aren't so bad.
