I looooove thunderstorms

[mrsski07]

There was one brewing as I walked into the office a few minutes ago and now I can hear it rumbling outside. If it wasn't so terribly hot & humid I'd totally go sit out on our entry patio and watch it while I work.

We love them too, although...much more when it's not tornado season. LOL
Enjoy the storm!

 

[Brandi]

We've been having them today also! I L O V E listening to the rain!

I love the rain and storms.. but like Laura when it isn't tornado season I love them much more.

Ours started this afternoon into the evening. If I don't have to go anywhere, I love them. Especially because it cools down the house for a little while

I love watching the lightning strikes and hearing the rumbling. Unfortunately, my dog doesn't and she goes and hides whenever we have a storm. Poor baby!

LOve thunderstorms - hate wind!! We had big gusts through here yesterday and bought down a big tree - luckily landed in the only place in the yard that didn't contain fences or powerlines...

Ohhhh me too! Especially now that rain is such a rare event. Always hate to hear of the severe ugly weather, but goodness I love the sound and sights of a good storm.

 

[mrsski07]

Tracy, you must have gotten the same storms we did!

Sara, I know how that feels. I felt the same way when we were living out there. Storms were always awesome because you could see them for so many miles.

My furbabies didn't seem to mind it too much, but my oldest daughter was scared of the "fumber".

Our dog goes NUTS when there is even a hint of thunder. So when it rains at night it's awful. I don't mind "during the day rain". During the storm yesterday, he laid in my son's bed for three solid hours with him. I guess he feels safe there!

I love them too...we just rarely get them here though.

I do remember some good ones when I lived in Seattle, but the best was when I was visiting my sister in Kansas!!

It rained here the other night and it seemed like it had been forever since we saw it since we all ran out and watched it rain.

 

[Valoriew]

oh i love love love thunderstorms too! I especially love getting out there and photographing them! ( ya I'm THAT dumb!) The clouds just fascinate me.... I'm a wannabe tornado chaser....

I took these just a couple days ago in my neighborhood....

 

[mommy2boyz]

OMG, Val!! Those are incredibly amazing (and terrifying) shots! lol. I have to confess that I *hate* thunderstorms! They scare the dickens outa me! Sharks and tornadoes...my greatest fears in life.

 

[mrsski07]

Val, those are gorgeous!!

We're in the middle of another storm right now. I have to say, in the last 2 days (plus Friday) I've seen more rain than I have in the last 5 years.

 

[HeatherB]

Those are gorgeous photos Val!

 

[Valoriew]

Thanks girls! We're in Tornado warning and crazy hail right now!!! Definitely cant and wont be getting out for pictures! Lol

 

[4noisyboys]

I didn't know you had tornadoes in Colorado Val. I'd be scared half to death of a tornado!

 

[Valoriew]

I didn't know you had tornadoes in Colorado Val. I'd be scared half to death of a tornado!

They're pretty much only in the east most of the time....although a couple years ago we had a little 1 in town.....never does much damage....the hail though- another story! Its funny though, when we were looking at moving here and i got off the plane at DIA and saw Tornado Shelters there, i thought "WTH!!" I didn't know they had them here too! Im a Cali girl too-haha
