Anypony on here afraid of thunderstorms?

[Justin_Case001 4,855]

I hate thunderstorms.  Most people don't get that.  I used to live in an area prone to daily, violent thunderstorms, and I hated it so much that we had to move.  What really ground my gears is that most people from that region just loved the storms, and would rave on and on about how cool and even relaxing they were.  I think they're f*ckin nuts.  Thunderstorms are dangerous, even indoors.  Besides the risk of damage to your electronics from power surges, every year the weather service would warn people not to be in contact with any water in your house that is also in contact with a fixture during a storm because a surge could go through the pipes and electrocute you.  That's serious sh*t.  And still, so many people I've talked to would go on and on about how relaxing thunderstorms are, the more violent the better.  Their brains are broken.  I always ask them, why don't you just go live in Jupiter's giant red spot, then?  That'd be real relaxing for you, huh?  F*ckin' wacko.    Yeah, yeah, I know--to each their own.  If you like that, then I mean no offense, but I don't get it.

Thunderstorms are the most annoying thing in life

I'm actually terrified of being struck by lightning, so... yeah.

[Gale Wind 79]

Yeah they usually make me nervous

We may be getting severe storms this Thursday

They are quite rare where I live, only happens a few time each year. Not that scary

I'm not afraid of thunderstorms, I love them!

Unfortunately, they seem to avoid the area where I live most of the time...

Nah I'm not afraid of them, I actually love them!

That is something to be cautious about

For more, it's more of a love-hate relationship than outright being afraid. If it's a weak thunderstorm with plenty of lightning and thunder, then yeah I like them. But if they are supercellular or a derecho, then i'm extremely scared of them. It's what I refer to as 'storm anxiety', and I've had it for much of my life.

I love storms. Shame we only really get a handful of decent ones from like June to August.

every time I hear thunderstorms I think I will die soon

I swore I've answered this about a million times on here before...but yes I am. Hate them.

I like thunderstorms, obviously not when I am outside getting rained on, but staying inside (or even inside of a car when not actually driving (driving in heavy rain sucks, so as a passenger or in a parked car) is great.

No not really. Around here mainly and I live in a pretty big building called an apartment.

The storms around here tend to be weakened by the drop in elevation West of us anyways (this is fact). Tornadoes are very rare in the city.

I used to be, and I still am kinda afraid sometimes like if it's very bad. Like they can be really destructive and dangerous sometimes.
