Figures that all hell breaks loose the day that I'm taking my bike into service. I can't even remember the last time there was thunderstorm at my parent's place but last night it it was close enough that it shook the house. The thunder hasn't really stopped since before 3am this morning and it's nearly 8am now. It has moved farther away though.

Now I understand how kids can be afraid of thunder. I never understood it before because I had never been in a real thunderstorm but this stuff was crazy loud!

if you go outside and shake a golfclub at the sky while cursing god.... it'll go away
Gaspar, Melchior and Balthasar kicked me out of the band..... they said I didnt fit the image they were trying to project. 

So I went solo.  -Me

Our summer weather pattern has started, which means we get that stuff most afternoons.
I used to walk the puppy in t-storms all the time, so she's not afraid of them, she love 'em and wants to go out in the rain  [laugh]

Maybe it's the large boat you've been building, the long beard, the animals you've been gathering, etc.

Just be sure that it's a 1-iron (cause no one can hit them.....not even God).

i love thunderstorms when im not on my bike. I was asleep and the lightening was so loud it woke me up around 5am and continuted on till about 7 this morning. Windows wide open to let all that fresh rain smell in.

T-storms are awesome. And extremely cool, assuming it's not a precursor to losing your house.

I love going outside to watch the sky when one's brewing.

MAJOR t-storm here last night in the hill country.  Stayed awake for about an hour while the lightning was striking the golfcourse a few yards away.  Wasn't scared of lightning until I lived in Florida.   :-X

I love them as long as I am indoors.  We maybe get 1 thunderstorm every 2-3 years here in NorCal though.
