I want more thunder storms!!!

[taliesin238]

I absolutely buzz off thunder and lightening storms!! We dont seem to get many as often as we did when i was a kid!! I think we should begin a pledge to god to ask for more thunder and lightening storms, who's with me on this one??

[Ice-Maiden]

I agree - apart from any damage which lightning might cause.

[taliesin238]

NO we dont want any nasty accidents!! Its like fireworks!! They are ace, absolutley lovely but can cause so much damage!!

If you had had your home damaged and flooded by torrential rain and storms I don't think you would be so keen :)
It's OK when it's not happening to you !.
I spent nigh on a year dreading the sound of thunder and pouring rain .And the insurance companies won't pay out for acts of God !

Last year we had a huge bonfire party in our garden. A firework fell over on its side and whizzed straight through the open door of the house and into the hall. It just missed someone's head - and embedded itself in a wall!!!! Seriously!

[taliesin238]

Yeah see what i mean!! Things so beautiful can turn out to be literally a nightmare!!! As much as l love both fireworks and thunderstorms, I most Certainly respect them and what they can do!!

[Ice-Maiden]

Awww.....I know...but both fireworks and thunder storms LOOK good, don't they?

[taliesin238]

I LOVE them ice maiden!!

[Ice-Maiden]

Me as well. Think it must be something that stems from childhood - but hey! What's wrong with that??

[shaneystar2]

They may look good... but my roof and flooded kitchen and conservatory didn't ! Never mind it's all fixed now .When I see God I may ask him to reimburse me :)

[Ice-Maiden]

No - one of ours trees didn't look so healthy after it'd been struck by lightning - but never mind. I still enjoy watching a good storm. Sorry to hear about the flooding though, Shaney. The thought of a flooded home is bad enough, but when it actually happens, it must be heartbreaking.

shaneystar- i think you should defo ask him!! I used to live in the country and i have seen just what thunder storms can do. One halloween we had some kids come to our door and asked for trick or treat!! My mum said we didnt have anything for them and a minute later they put a lit firework through the letterbox!! SSSOOO horrifying!!!!!

[shaneystar2]

Little b's .!
Fireworks are dangerous things in the wrong hands. I like watching them as long as it's organised such as a display or something .They always do a lovely one here on the clifftop.
But then you've got the dimwits who chuck them over your fence willy nilly .This was always a worry when we had the dog.He couldn't cross his legs all night ! So I used to have to hover around in the garden with him.I was more frightened than he was !
Anyway this old girl is off to bed .....Nite Nite .

[taliesin238]

Nite Nite shaneystar!! Good chattin to u!!

Where do you live taliesin? Highest frequency of thunderstorms in UK is in East Anglia and the lowland East Midlands, with London/South East not far behind.

Places north and west of a line roughly from Bristol to Middlesbrough have a far lower incidence of thunderstorms.

Maybe you live in "wrong" area?

ice maiden and taliesin are you Scorpios?? Me and many other scorpio people I know love the storms. I get really childish and over excitable.
