The only thing I like about Eastern New Mexico

Thunderstorms with lightening. You can drive out on the highway a ways and watch lightening from thirty miles away. And almost everynight in the summer there's one. There is nothing better than a thunderstrom with lightning

Join us in tornado alley.....you'll get to see that everyday, sometimes three or four times a day.

And you get the bonus of that weird green sky too.

That's where I'm at . . . smack dab in the middle of tornado alley.

Edited to add: I hate spring.

The first day we moved here there was a tornado that hit the base. I was hiding in my bathroom withthe radio screamign at my husband "where the fuck did they send us!!!!" I love the lightning though
in Alaska they don't have lightning the climactic conditions just don't exist. I lived three years with out lightning I missed it so much.

Don't like tornados....never experience one till I moved to the States. The first time the sirens went off I was like...." Is that some kind of a fire alarm?" Imagine my joy when I learned a tornado was headed my way

If you want spectacular lightening, I think you have to go to the Great Plains.

I heard once that the lack of trees and mountains and the insulating grass cover on the earth all combine to make the land act as a giant capacitor, building up fantasticly high charges of electricity. The biggest thunder storm I ever saw in my life happened in Nebraska in August, anbd it was very scary,

First rule of marriage : husbands are blamed for everything.

Actually, the most lightening ground strikes in the US is a swath through Centrla Florida, including Disney World.

Snap crackle and pop into the evening.

Two things of interest. We have dealt with T-Storms for the past several afternoons/evenings here in southern Florida. (Nothing like they have been dealing with around Orlando though. Golf Ball sized Hail. Ouch.) I love T-Storms, and almost any violent weather barring Hurricanes.

Sitting on the Entertainment System next to the Boob Tube is a mishapen, discolored chunk of glass. I picked it up off of a beach on Cape Cod after watching lightning make several strikes on that beach. Kind of a neat conversation starter.

Where on Cape Cod? In a previous life I lived at North Truro (between Wellfleet and P-Town) for a time.

There is something so primal and exciting about thunderstorms......could be the sex during them.

I may be living impaired but I'm not greedy......60/40

sounds fair I like the idea of sixty for me, the extra ten can be the taxes on my share.
