Do you like thunderstorms?

[Dreambiscuit 8,024]

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.

...as long as I don't have to fly in/near them, I love a good storm.

Beautiful to watch, especially at night from the air.

Coolest thing I've seen with a storm (so far) was an intracloud bolt that arced over the top of a storm cell.

Could consider it as a lightning "rainbow" or a lightning "bridge"

My aircraft has been struck once that I know of and it entered the airframe through one of the rivets above my window (damn big flash and a bang - made me jump and then it exited through a wingtip (aircraft was fine apart from the scorch marks)

I love thunderstorms, but only when they are not overly severe. The really intense stuff, especially winds, can cause so much damage. If it is more of a traditional storm though, it is bliss. The sound of thunder, the lightning going on outside, the sound of rain hitting the roof, all while being inside is a great feeling. Another thing I love is going on a walk around town and seeing storm clouds off in the distance heading in my direction. There's just something about it that I really enjoy. Can't quite explain it.

Depends on the type. If they are garden variety (ie non-severe) i absolutely love them. Squall lines I like but depends on the severity. After December 1st 2018, I do not like supercells (love the structure, hate the tornadoes associated).

[DixonTheAdversary 1,631]

Not really. 9 out of 10 times a thunderstorm is going on is when I am trying to sleep.

[Nsxile 25,672]

I usually do unless it strikes a powerline and cuts off the power, or happens late at night, as nocturnal thunderstorms keep me up. The lightning is fun to watch though 

[Narcissus 352]

I love thunderstorms. There's so much natural drama and beauty. It's like a fireworks show that costs nothing. 

[MangoFoalix 24,898]

Yes, I do like thunderstorms. I just like the feeling of it raining and watching the rain hit the ground.

[Envy 5,998]

I dislike thunderstorms even more now because now I have a dog who is scared of them.

I don't really like them. They may look kind of cool, but they're terrifying...  Seriously, I get anxious about it taking out my electronics. My brother's Xbox fried after the house got struck by a lightning.

Just had to take cover from a tornado warning and the funnel went right over my house. Lovely. Thunderstorms are no fun at all, and I'm just glad that there wasn't an actual tornado... But I've had enough of this for a lifetime (it has happened many times before).

[TheRockARooster 47,293]

Yeah, they give me ideas for fanfics and stuff. ^^

[EpicEnergy 22,074]

Yes, they are very cool!

They can be rather destructive though, which makes them annoying to me at times, especially when a tree gets knocked down or I lose electricity in my house.

[Emerald Heart 24,574]

I don't really care either way. I'm a deep sleeper, so it doesn't really bother me.

Although I will jump in surprise if a thunderclap is especially loud. 

[Lucky Bolt 34,914]

Yea, they're cool until they ruin a day at the beach or somethin

[Ittoni 536]

Who doesn't. I normally leave a window open or go out to hear the storm and see the lightning.

[Shigaraki 270]

Yeah l do!

thunderstorms makes me happy and even when you mostly want to stay in your house for most people, but for me its a NO NO.

[Stardust 640]

It depends. They have a lovely sound and there are some lovely soundscapes on them. At the same time it can be scary to see and hear the thunder and lightining while u trying to sleep. Or when ur outside.

[ZiggWheelsManning 7,366]

I like the sounds of some of them.  But I don't like having to turn off all electronics when they show up.  

[Savygriffs 5,022]

Much like my Ponysona, Yes I love thunderstorms!!

[Adorable Lovestar 243]

I used to hate them, but now I'm indifferent.

[Pastel Heart 6,463]

I used to be scared of them but now I love them! The chaos of nature is beautiful~

[Tao 6,727]

I do love a good storm,  just not when I'm camping and have to pack up the next day.

[ExplosionMare 18,007]

They’re kinda weird but at least I can sleep through them

[Rainbow Cloud 16,290]

Not really a fan of storms and feel kind of unsettled when there's lightning nearby.
