Anypony on here afraid of thunderstorms?

Was for a short period of time but not anymore.

Thunderstorms cause my electromagnetic field to become energized. The experience is one of relaxation and expanded awareness.

Something similar is experienced with other elements in their primal forms.

I love thunderstorms. They make it so cozy and nice to be inside (as long as they don't knock the power out). I even like being outside in them as long as there isn't too much lightning nearby.

Severe weather can be beautiful as long as it doesn't get destructive.

When I was a child, I was afraid of thunderstorms. But since I am older and I got interest into meteorology, I am really fascinated of thunderstorms. My interest started with an experience in my childhood where a Tornado hit my village.  Nowadays, I stay always on my window when I have a thunderstorm.  I love especially the cloud formations in front of the storm (my favorite clouds are the shelf cloud). I am also really interested into storm chasing. I really like thunderstorms (as long as nobody get hurt or something get destroyed).

I was terrified of thunderstorms when I was in between the ages of 2 and 4 years old, which is kinda ironic because now, I'm fascinated by them.

I love storms of all kinds, especially rainstorms but thunderstorms are cool too. Even better if I'm outside and under the pouring rain, which isn't the case for most people I know.

The only thing I'm afraid of, honestly, is falling sick from being drenched and in the cold for a long time.

[Cyclone 1066 3,619]

Used to drive my mom crazy but since like the age of 8, Everytime we'd have a tornado warning, quite often in tornado alley, I'd pop Twister in the VHS player and start watching it in the living room.

So no, im not afraid of a little rain, electricity, and a twistin' funnel.

[Denim&Venöm 18,629]

Not really. I went almost a decade without ever seeing or hearing one. When I did for the first time, it was more wonder than dread or fear.

Now they're pretty occasional during half the year. More an annoyance than anything.

Though when the sirens go off, st gets real.

[Cyclone 1066 3,619]

Don't get me wrong, I've seen first hand what they can do and they're no laughing matter. But that didn't stop me and my dad from going out in the old beater Chevy S10 that we called storm chaser every time there was a storm in the area or standing on the porch watching them blow by. Sadly, that doesn't happen anymore after his stroke, now he just sends me out and says "take pictures." Mom hates it.

We had a tornado blow right through my Grandma's land one weekend when everybody in the extended family was out camping. While the whole family was inside, in the basement or under a mattress in the bathtub, me, my dad, and my cousin were outside looking at the beautiful green sky. When the weather starts to look like it came out of a Beatles' music video, you know it's serious.

Im afraid of Thunderstorms, i think they are way to loud and im always in fear, that they hit our home or that they strike me and im dead. Edit: Okay, maybe i missunderstood something, if you mean with Storms, really big ones, than i guess i never experienced such ones. It gets Windy of course, but im not sure if you can call that a Storm, what we have here, but there is Thunder at least.

I find that thunderstorms make me happy, I don't know why.  I like standing at the glass door and listening/watching the storm.

I remember the sky turning green right before or during a storm when I used to live in central Illinois, and I remember once we had a little twister that nearly came down in our backyard. Thankfully it ended up disappearing before it caused too much damage.  You don't see too many twisters here in Florida, we tend to get waterspouts a lot though. 

[Messy Mane 9,032]

yeah,when I was like 4 or 5.

[Will Guide 21,359]

I now have a urge to put on this music whenever a storm starts:

 

[Twisted Cyclone 🚓 6,257]

I'm like the total opposite of afraid when it comes to thunderstorms. I'm quite fascinated by them. Even when I was younger I was too.

[Here No Longer 5,276]

Afraid? No.

But I dislike thunderstorms for sure. Loud crackling noises, potential to fry the computer and any consoles AND turn off my freaking power... Have had a grudge with the whole phenomenon since it fried my brother's Xbox, on a day which happened to be a Friday the 13th that was ALSO my 13th birthday.

Though I find them a little bit fascinating, no matter how much contempt I have for them.

[Snow Frostflame 3,568]

I use to because of how rare they are out here, especially when they'd get bad. Now it hardly phases me, though sometimes it makes me jump when it strikes nearby.

[Rhythm Red 6,484]

Nah. I find thunderstorms to be very cool actually. The only problem I have with storms is that I can't skate in the rain. Water wreaks havoc on skateboards.

[Mystic Brush 103]

I'm only happy when it rains.

I love them

although, my cat does not therefore i end up spending the time calming him down.

[Phosphor 11,528]

Not really afraid of thunderstorms, but severe weather at night concerns me the most, since I'm usually sleeping and obviously won't be able to react in time.

[Midnight Solace 5,132]

Um... I actually kinda like thunderstorms... It helps me sleep...

[CandyCorn 428]

I wouldn't say I'm afraid. I just get nervous when it thunders. It's really unpredictable, and you know never know when it's going to just go KABOOOOOOOM!!! on you. 

[Cynthia Mintwing 2,216]

I do get scared of thunderstorms, but they aren’t a big deal to me unless they try to knock my house down. About two years ago, I almost got hit by a lightning bolt during a hard storm but thank goodness I was under a bridge.

[cmarston1 5,959]

Not usually.  But if it is really severe, I can get a bit uncomfortable.

[Crimson storm 1,832]

 Not me well, I do still jump at the very ultra loud All of us sudden thunderclaps but otherwise I’m pretty chill
