    Default Thunderstorms.

    We had a thunderstorm a couple of nights ago, and it was quite scary. The thunder was extremely loud (and made me jump so that I literally flew out of bed) and the lightning was distracting (as I was trying to sleep at the time). The rain came down heavily for a few hours, too, which caused some houses in a nearby town to be totally flooded.

    - Do you have any thunderstorm experiences?
    - Do you enjoy thunderstorms?
    - Were you scared of thunderstorms as a child?

    Please discuss. Thanks.

    I like thunderstorms. I've always liked them, and I generally smile and laugh when the thunder gets loud. What's so scary about them? They're nice.

    On the way to Las Vegas a couple weeks ago there was a thunderstorm. A pretty big one too. Ashley kept saying she saw lightning but we were in the middle of the desert so we all told her she was retarded, but there really was. A lot. It was cool.

    <b>Do you enjoy thunderstorms?</b> Definitely.
    <b>Were you scared of thunderstorms as a child?</b> Yes, but I was just a child after all. I love them now.

    I love them. Next time there's one here, I'll climb onto my roof and taunt the clouds. I always wanted to do that.

    Thunderstorms are so nice. I live in Arizona so we hardly get anything like that, but when they come it's really nice. In fact just last week or so we had a really big one. Some lightining landed rather close to us. The sound was so loud i thought somebody got shot. Overall though, it was nice and I wish we would have another one.

    I've loved thunderstorms for as long as I can remember, and I think it started because of my great grandpa. He always talked about how he liked them because they showed God's power in a beautiful way. I actually have two favorite storms I can recall, the first one was a couple of years ago at a theme park. We had to make a mad dash for our car, and we were comlpletely soaked by the time we got there, but the running in the lightening with someone you like is fun *flails all girl-like* But the other one happened at school back in March, I think. My dorm room had these amazingly huge windows just above my bed, so killed all the lights, laid back and enjoyed the show. What was even better was that I was on the top floor.

    So I like thunderstorms.

    Signature by rubah. I think.

    A week ago, a thunderstorm provided cover for this(these) guy(s) that stole my dad's spare tire.

    Do you have any thunderstorm experiences? Yes, quite a few actually... and the most exciting ones both happened in Slovenia last year. No. 1: My family, me and another family (Some of our friends) where driving in the same car, or mini-bus, on a road just besides the sea. Suddenly it started to rain very heavily and extremely quick thereafter a massive thunderstorm started. Now, the wind was blowing like hell as well and so the water from the sea literally blew up on our car while the thunderstorm was still raging. A very exciting and kinda surreal experience o_O No. 2: Now, I don't think I've ever been so scared in my entire life. It was late in the afternoon and I was going outside to sit on the balcony of our room, we lived in a hotel. The sun didn't shine through the countless clouds covering the sky and the temperature was okay and kinda fresh, so the thunderstorm I'm about to tell y'all about came very suddenly. Now, I was about to sit down on a chair on the balcony when suddenly this HUUUGE noise of a lightning striking down just a few meters from our balcony was shocking the sh*t out of me. I ran, as fast as I could, inside and jumped down of the bed and covered my ears because of this HUUUGE sound that was still lingering in the air. A really freaky experience o_O
    Do you enjoy thunderstorms? It depends. If it's not too wild then yeah, I think it can be cosy. But I definitely don't like them when there too wild, 'cause then my dog is extremely scared and I feel so sorry for him. He's an old dog and even though he's in my bed when it occors he's still very scared and shaking.
    Were you scared of thunderstorms as a child? Dunno. I think it's like it is today.
