Do you love a good rain/thunder storm?

I am right with you, I love it at night when the winds howls and rain pours, thunder and lightning is a bonus. I fall asleep fast and sleep like the living dead.
Yep. I love the smell of the desert when it rains. The 100+ temp and humidity the following day is for the birds though.

Rain sure. The chance for property damage from high winds or hail from the monsoon thunderstorms we get here not so much. A summer hailstorm damaged hundreds of vehicles a year ago a few miles away.
Always liked the rain. A chunk of my personality was warped by growing up during the '60's drought. We played in empty reservoirs.
I like a good thunderstorm, but two of our dogs freak out. One disappears into the bedroom closet and the other paces in the basement for hours after.
I was born and raised in Vancouver BC, the area rarely had thunderstorms, lots of rain but no real drama. When I was 23 I moved myself to Ontario and started work in Windsor Ontario. Now I can tell you that Windsor really does an amazing storm! Horizontal rain, churning green clouds in the dark sky, massive boooms ! I don't live in Windsor anymore, but in SW Ontario about 1 hour West of Toronto, every chance I get I sit on the front porch to watch these summer spectacles ! love the smell of ozone and nitrogen from Mother Nature.
I do and my house isn't really situated to enjoy them properly. Surrounded by woods and two rivers-- storms prefer following the rivers so don't hit me directly head-on too often.
The only thing better is having a Red Sox game on the radio during the event.

I love being IN THE RAIN...soaking wet to the skin, especially if it is comfortably warm and if there is a thunderstorm so much the better.
Love seeing the power of Mother Nature. It makes one feel humble which is a humbling experience for most of us.
Thunder storms on lake Charlevoix as a kid were awesome! Now living in the Midwest the storms can get pretty wild. I don’t mind them but I do get my fill of wind and possible severe weather. I do love the smell of rain!

I have always loved thunderstorms...
I did some storm chasing in my younger days.
Closest lightning strikes nearest me have been while driving.
You know that bolt is close when you see that florescent pink light with that bolt hitting that close to you. It's a massive explosion with the lightning at the same time.

Yes. I keep a Coleman camping chair in the garage just for that purpose. Forecasts are now so accurate you can enjoy the approach of storms as well. Beats cable.
Me too, up to the point where my family room floods.
They help me to sleep better.
We need some RIGHT NOW.
Yes in. I love thunder and lightning. Always have.

I am opposite camp, I LOVE sunny days and kind of hate when it rains.
We need rain occasionally and get it here in Florida in the summer time.
I hate being on the road when it’s raining and everyone forgets how to drive, not turning on headlights, not staying in their lane, not keep proper distance from the vehicle in front of them, etc….
