Hmm, remain safe won't you.
Used to love those, but nowadays I just panic about the trees...
I too love a good thunderstorm!
Nothing like a good Thunder storm!
Sadly, we don't get a lot of thunderstorms here in Vancouver. The 'good' ones come once every couple of years. Usually, just sheet lightning.
I wrote a post about a scooter ride home in a flash storm you might like. It's written a little weird, in 3-rd person, but it's in the sidebar under "hit me"-- "it was a dark and stormy night... (afternoon, really.)"
How was the storm? Do tell.
(read me and weep.)
It passed so quickly that in the time I was in the bathroom it had come and gone. Bummer.
Today, though, was another story. Just as I logged off my computer at work and started walking to the doors, suddenly there came the white noise of rain on the metal roof at Lowe's. I park at the far end of the lot, but it was a warm rain, so walking to my car I took off my hat and elastic band and shook my hair out in the rain. It was nice.
Pause for a few minutes for the spooky clouds to roll in as I was getting a pop at a nearby convenience store, and then all HELL broke loose. Cloud-to-ground lightning all over the place. I nearly got blown off the road by the downburst.
It was pouring buckets, it was hailing, and to top it off, the drum intro to Van Halen's "Hot For Teacher" started on the radio. The lightning was so intense that the car radio fuzzed at each bolt.
And I drove through the rural gap on Peters Road from Troy to Tipp City in that. Wipers on super-duper fast, hail roaring off the car, visibility down to mere yards, worrying about being vaporized out in the open by lightning, dodging downed branches on the road, and me bopping wildly to Van Halen.
I'm an adrenaline junkie. Weather is my x-treme sport.
And being a warm front storm instead of a fast moving cold front, it wasn't in any hurry to leave.
Sounds intensely scary.
Adrenaline is not something one should be addicted to - it's a rather dangerous obsession....
