Do you like thunderstorms?

[DormantAccount 308]

I love them so long as they don't cut the power or stir up a twister and I'm inside.

[Tameless 979]

No, no I do not. They make me jump and keep me up all night.

 

(To be fair I haven't experienced one since I was 6)

[Ianpiersonjdavis 512]

I find them soothing and usually hope for them to come at night so I have an easier time falling asleep.

Thunderstorms are amazing. Especially the climactic, loud ones with bazillions of raindrops pounding the roof and window panes.

I love thunderstorms! I love when I can hear the wind, and the trees bend

 

(As long as no damage or harm is done to anyone, I a fine)

 

I don't mind if the power goes out

They're okay. They sometimes surprise me with the sudden sound and brightness of light. If it's lightning, then it'll really surprise me.

I heartily enjoy a good thunderstorm, mostly because I don't get to see them enough.

 

When I was about 6 I remember we were driving out in the central valley & there was a pretty epic lightning storm going off in the distance. I was lucky enough to see some pretty epic chain lightning.

 

I kinda wish I could relive that moment.

Sometimes yes sometimes no...

I remember when I was a kid and a bad lightning stroke hit somewhere near the house I was at and it pretty much melted my entertainment center to the floor. I can't recall where the bolt traveled from...but luckily I wasn't home at the time, lol.

There's hail the size of softballs?

Dear.

God.

 

It's not as bad as the hail that's the size of minivans.

[Quirky 37]

YES

I LIEK DA RAIN

AND DA NOISE

Do I like thunderstorms?  Only if...

 

I am not stuck outside in one.

It won't cause a power outage.

It's not keeping me awake because I need sleep to go to work the next day. 

 

Otherwise, they are an awesome natural phenomenon.  I like seeing pretty bolts of electricity light up in the distance and reflect off the billowing storm clouds.  They are violent and yet have this odd sense of peace at the same time.

I love thunderstorms!! I like the sound of thunder; it's very soothing just listening to it.

I love to run in thunderstorms.  I haven't been struck by lightning yet...

I love to run in thunderstorms.  I haven't been struck by lightning yet...

That's a risky move, its highly advised against.

[Midnight Solace 5,132]

I find the noise of the thunder really calming, for some reason. I also find lightning really cool when it flashes through the window for a millisecond. 

[Lucky Bolt 35,063]

I LOVE thunderstorms! I've always had a fascination with lightning and thunder, so whenever it's storming you'll often see me running to the nearest window or even outside, to catch a glimpse of lightning. Probably isn't the safest thing to do but hey, I'm a pegasus. What do you expect?

I love thunderstorms, there's something empowering about all that energy up there.  Though my cat hates them, unfortunately, she hides when the first of the thunder acts up.

[Early Sunsets 2,106]

I used to be terrified of thunderstorms, especially when they get really loud. I was convinced that lightning would strike one of the giant trees in front of my house and it would fall on the house.

We had a derecho 5 or 6 years ago that knocked over a bunch of trees on my street. That was scary.

Thunderstorms can be really interesting to watch, especially when you are interested into meteorology (some cloud formations are amazing). But I am always happy when a Thunderstorm don't make to much damage. And I hate Thunderstorms when it is night and I want to sleep but can not because of the weather (like the night from Sunday to monday).

I'm ready for a thundersnowstorm. Fingers crossed this weekend!

I really like thunderstorms! I just find the sound of thunder very relaxing!

[Phosphor 11,529]

Not really. Thunderstorms in the southeast can pack a serious punch, especially ones that are ahead of a cold front.  

[Treeglow Flicker 13,655]

I love them to bits!

I don't really have any memorable ones I've experienced though. Also, we haven't had one in a while where I am. One of my dreams is to someday become trapped in a haunted mansion during a thunderstorm.

I love thunderstorms. When I used to live in the Midwest we used to have them all the time and I hated them because they always heralded the electricity going out for hours at a time. But now that I live in the west and have a dependable power grid, I love them. It's so cozy having all that booming and crackling going on outside while I'm snug and warm in my apartment. And the lightning can be really beautiful to look at.
