Thunder and Lightening

[Skreecheeboy]

Do you like it or do you hate it! I love it, it's bucketing down up here!!!

[4getmenot]

Love it, used to hate it when young as my dog used to go mad

[bigmamma]

love it Skreecheeboy , we don't often get them here though , and when we do they are over too quickly . :-)

[Skreecheeboy]

Yeah that's ours finished already! Gutted I was hoping to get soaked on my way home! Still hear the thunder though!

[warpig3]

Love it! looks like your storm has passed on to where I am!

[smudge]

I love to hear the thunder rumbling away, but am absolutely terrified of lightening!

My dear Mum was the same & remember her ushering us under the big dining table, or into the cupboard under the stairs so we didn't get struck! ;o}

Wondering what part of the world you live in bigmamma?

[pussnboots]

I love it to, but last year the lightening struck our phone line so my puter was down for ages.

I love it , used to hate it (had the same type of mom who would usher us under the dining table or under the stairs)


shame we dont get enough thunder n lightning, its starting to hail here right now in birmingham!!

The year before last when we were in Cuba there was a tropical storm our to sea and it was amazing, the horizen lit up with each bolt of lightening in the potch dark out to sea,
the palm trees were almost bent double on the beach and the rain was slanting sideways, it was breathtaking.

I never used to like it. But I love it now. I love it just before when there is so much electricity in the air. Blue skies where I am now!

[missrandom]

Absoloutely love it!! thankfully my mum was the same as me so i have never been ushered under the dinning room table, and so have always loved it. Funny mental image of people jumping under tables at the sound of thunder!!lol

[Skreecheeboy]

Yeah one of my colleagues was about to close the window next to me and jumed out of her skin as a bolt of lightening went off right outside the window just as she grabbed the handle. Must admit I got a bit of a fright myself but I do find them to be really cleansing, love how fresh the air becomes after one!

I remember being in a church in Perth WA (1980) & there was the most amazing thunderstorm going on outside, which was lighting up the stained glass windows! I was shaking & crying, even though my husband & daughters were trying to reassure me that all would be ok. Then it happened - the lightening struck the roof spire! The noise was terrifying & it took me ages before I would venture outside again! The hailstones were more like golf balls, rather than marbles!

Bigmamma - My sister used to live in Morecambe, Cleethorpes, then Grimsby, Lincs (but has lived in Perth WA for 25 yrs now). She's 12 years older than me & I remember spending many a school holiday with her & having fun on the beach, riding on donkeys! :o}

My nephew lives in Nth Hykeham, Lincoln.

Sorry Skreechboy for going off track!

[bigmamma]

smudge , what a coincidence , I lived in Australia for 13 years , gr8 thunderstorms there. :-)

[unruliejulie]

Im ok with it now but i went through a stage years ago where it terrified me. I cant say i like it but im not nearly as scared as i was. I wont walk past a window when its bad though!!!!!! lol
the sun is shining here, its glorious! ;-)

[Skreecheeboy]

Round the world in 80 words there Smudge! Feel free to go off on tangents though, doesn't bother me! *I'm secretly compliling a dosier on everything you've ever said*

[Skreecheeboy]

*compiling*

[smudge]

Ha, ha, thanks Skreecheeboy! I hope it turns out to be an interesting dossier!

Bigmamma - we very nearly emigrated to Australia after our 6 weeks holiday there. We also spent a few weeks in Sydney with my husband''s sister & family. We fell in love with both places, but I just couldn't find the bottle to sell up & leave my dear Mum, Dad & family at the time.

My husband & daughters have often wished we had have moved out there - 'specially with all this rain, he, he! Having said that, they wouldn't have met their other halves & we wouldn't have the 4 wonderful grandkids we've got!

A bit more for your dossier SB! ;o}

I absolutely love thunder and lightening and the sound of rain lashing down. My bedroom looks out over the sea and an island off the coast and it is great fun to watch as the storms coming in. I love to go up to the top room with a cuppa at night and watch the lightening light up the sea and hear the thunder as it comes closer and closer. Fascinating!!! We also get the most beautiful sunsets here. :o)
