I enjoy them when I do not need my computer to get things done, or when my tongue is not frozen to a large metal pole outside.

I don't mind them one way or another. My girlfriend doesn't like the big booms that happen during the especially bad ones that we get a lot around here. We're currently experiencing one but it should be over in a couple minutes. Flood warnings for my city, too! It's been a bizarrely stormy and wet summer this year.

I miss thunderstorms, which almost ever happen in Seattle.

Far off distant rumblings send some lovin' good vibrations a tremblin' through me.

I also like the drama and tension of REALLY HARDCORE DISPLAYS. Living up at the top of a hill on the 6th floor of a dorm really put me at some good vantages last year. Wish I could've gotten some pictures.

I don't mind them. I used to live in Colorado where we'd get them a lot during the summer, and I wasn't bothered my them. My old dog, on the hand, would freak out.

We get a few nifty storms here each year. Occasionally, there'll be a big storm out over the plains - lightning that's bright enough to see, but so distant that the thunder's inaudible. Quite a creepy effect.

Love a good thunderstorm. That's one of the things I enjoy about Missouri as opposed to California. On the Fourth of July we had a wicked storm go through, and that plus fireworks plus Within Temptation while going down the freeway made for an awesome time.

I get a bit scared of the thunder but I think the lightening is pretty. :)

I always throw the window open so I can hear 'em better.

Lightning is evil. I refuse to look through windows when I know the weather is very bad. The lightning knows you're looking through the window, it's just waiting for the perfect moment to strike you in the face.

When I was a kid, my mom told me a story about a boy that got struck in the face through the window. I can't say it scarred me much.

Same on both fronts.

I remember a few times sitting in Allie's window and just staring out, awestruck, at the sheer power of some of the storms coming through. It was intense.

Flood warnings for my city, too! It's been a bizarrely stormy and wet summer this year.

Me and my friends were just talking about that the other day. It storms at least once a week. And we get a flood warning popping up in the corner of Friends at least three times a week.

But I used to be afraid of thunderstorms. But a couple of summers ago my dad cut down the big cherry tree and walnut trees in our yard and now I'm not afraid of the storms at all. I do jump when they come out of nowhere. I swear two storms started over my house in the past month. It was kinda cloudy outside and then suddenly FLASH KRAKK BOOOOOOOOM!

They can be quite atmospheric, which is cool.

Actually, a Danish soccer player was struck by lightning in the middle of a match, and is now in danger of dying. Imagine, running around playing soccer in front of hundreds of fans, and then suddenly getting struck by such force of nature!

I heard about that, Breine. They've had to put him into an induced coma. Apparently half a dozen other players were knocked to the ground as well, but that player has hit in the head?!! Ow.

I like them. I saw a really good one in Poland a couple of years ago. Really good forked lightning all across the sky.

I wonder who God was supporting.

Anyway I love lightning, I think it is a fantastic display of nature and whenever this is any I'll sit and watch it while listening to music.

They're not very common here which is a bit sad since I love the crap out of them, but I suppose that also adds to the fun when we do get one. We had one just the other day, unfortunately it was still daylight out so it wasn't as effectful as otherwise, but the rain was pretty heavy so sitting inside listening to it was still very cosy.
