I find thunderstorms to be really fascinating...I like the lightning...seeing it go from cloud to cloud..and cloud to ground..I think the best time to actually watch storms is after dark. We get 'em here in Southern NJ usually during heat waves. Squall lines usually and then the front passes.....I was terrified of thunderstorms until I was 11 years old and my dad explained what they are and how they form..

yes, I am in awe of thunderstorms. They make me stop whatever I am doing and just watch. In a world where technology seeks to control aspects of our environment, they are one of the few phenomena that remind us we're not really in control...and they are beautiful and dangerous at the same time.

I LOVE thunderstorms. I grew up in west Texas and thunderstorms are a common occurrence. I will sit outside for hours watching the lightning, the wind and the rain. I think it is a great time to observe the power of Mother Nature. I moved to Northern California from 1988 until 1992 and one of the things I missed the most was the thunderstorms, they just don't get thunderstorms out there. I loved the temperate weather but really missed my free fireworks shows.

YES! I love a good old fashioned thunderstorm. We are having one now. Well almost we have the clouds, thunder, and lightening, but no rain. Which is good, so we can go to the fair tonight.
This is a fascination I shared with my dad. WE like to sit outside and watch them until it gets too dangerous. Then still from the window. When I moved away that is what I missed most.

When I was young, my mother used to tip over the couch during thunderstorms and make my little sister and I sit there until the storms blew over!
It has taken me decades to lessen that fear! As an adult, I know the causes of storms, but my mother's fear has transferred to me. I know my mother was only trying to protect us, but it left me with a fobia of storms!
I'm doing better, and I do believe heat lightning in the dark can be beautiful (or thunderstorms at a great distance).
Oddly, though, I prefer local storms during the day if they come near so I can see any tornadoes that might come my way.
I live in the midwest, so thunderstorms and tornadoes are a way of life here in the spring and summer.

Yes I love them too. There is an excitement, and antipation, and an element of Th e unknown that comes with them. That makes them so alluring I think.
While they can be dangerous, for the most part they are just the most visable and electric side of nature.
But if you like them from the ground you should see the from above. I got that chance once when flying back from D.C. It is a most incredible site. You truly see the lightning jump from cloud to cloud. Because you are above the storm you get a much better view. Exciting.

This qualifies as a phobia, because the indications are intense adequate to reduce your existence. you pick to refer on your well being care service about this, and get a referral to a therapist or psychologist who's experienced in phobias. drugs might want to help, and the unintended consequences, if any, would likely be very minor, yet when it truly concerns you, you could wrestle this phobia without them. yet you do pick the help of a qualified therapist. as with each and every phobia, you pick to concentration on the rational elements of your worry. How probably are you to be harmed in a thunderstorm? at the same time as utilising in a unmarried? seem on the problematical statistics - what number serious injuries do thunderstorms reason in conserving with annum? The noise is actual intense, even if the noise in itself is probability free. keep reminding your self of the rational, genuine looking data, rather of living on the what-ifs. provide your self a mantra to spotlight, and locate an activity to furnish you some thing to do in the course of the typhoon. Have a sympathetic pal you could call or have stay with you in the course of the typhoon.

Fascinating aren't they? I love a good thunderstorm. We've been having alot of them lately. Last night about 2:30 a.m. one woke me with the loudest boom, I jumped out of the bed. Then went and watched out my deck door for awhile. When I lived in Southern California, we never had them, when we moved to Ohio, I've been thrilled everytime there is one.

We get a lot of them here in Florida too. I love storms...there's something wild and untamed about them. Even when there's lightning, sometimes I still go out into them, just to feel the raw power of them. It makes me feel alive, and like anything could happen, anything at all. That feeling that my doorstep is a path to many other paths is stronger during a storm. Anything seems possible.

I spend a holiday each summer in the south of France, and usually there is at least one spectacular thunderstorm - normally at night.
Fantastic!
Not only are the storms wonderful (as long as you are sheltered!) but the wonderful clear air afterwards is like champagne.
