Sitting on my back deck watching a MAJOR storm coming. Anyone else get pumped for storms???
I certainly do. I live in Texas, in tornado alley, and I enjoy sitting and watching them build and progress across the sky. It shows such awesome power and beauty and the more severe and intense it is the more enjoyable to watch (from a safe distance to be sure).
I am God Damned tired of them!
The weather in my part of Georgia has been rainy almost every day for the past 5 months.
What part of GA?
@hipchick57
Covington. And now it is more like 7 months of rain 4 days out of every week.
I love storms! I live where tornadoes are not uncommon.
@Bendog It does seem like that, lol.
I Love it.
...even love being caught in the rain.
...if you're not into Yoga.
If you have half a brain.
From the moment I see the wind toss the trees and I know it is on the way.
Storm's comin'
There is barely a cloud in the sky!
Storm's comin'
Finally just hit. Hopefully it brings a bit of cool air!
My storm looked wild but nothing happened. I was bummed ?
I do enjoy the sound of rain on the rooff, but I would avoid a hurricane.
As newly moved to Pensacola I'm not a fan either.
@hipchick57
Luckily, I live close enough to appreciate the rain from the storms coming from gulf coast hurricanes, but far enough away to avoid the brunt of the hurricanes.
I love sitting out on the porch during a storm. One time the lightning struck so close I almost lost bladder control. Lol
Yes, I love storms!!!! I was in a tornado when I was very young so I have a visceral reaction when the weather gets really crazy.
Colorado is having a nice break today from a long stretch of temps in the mid to upper 90's. Cloudy and rainy. Heat comes back tomorrow though.
One of the few things I miss about small town Nebraska is the thunderstorms which used to roll in across the plains during the summer.
I love a good storm with loads of lightning and strong thunder. Sadly, not one significant storm as of yet this year.
I have loved watching storms since I was very small. When I grew up I studied the science of thunderstorms and I love them even more.
A good friend of mine has made the study of severe thunderstorms his life's work - he is a great person to go storm chasing with.
