Who likes em? I love em.
Having a great big one right at this moment, it's raining so hard outside that you can't see far at all! And yes, I still have my PC switched on - I am surrounded by tall buildings with lightning conductors so the chance of my lines getting hit is minimal

I love them too. It's like beholding nature at it's most violent. Still, they can get abit scary when one is right over the house, and a thunderclap shakes the very foundations.
Lightning is also irritating to me at night. You see, my bed is parralel with a large window/balcony on one side, and a mirror on another. If I face the window, lightning flashes blind me at night, when my eyes are accustomed to the darkness. (Believe me, it HURTS!) If I turn over, I cop the lightning anyway, as it bounces off the mirror. |

Saw a newsreel of the recent tornado attack in Michigan(?), USA. Real fascinating. And I can imagine they must be real terrifying to look at too when you're there in person.

Love'em too.
I really enjoy running around on the hill behind my house waving a large pole, meatal or wood whatever comes to hand, above my head until I fall over or just siting under a near by tree and enjoy the show. |

Pretty ironic that I just find this thread, as i live in Michigan, and we are having a pretty good lighting storm at the moment. LOL
Yes I love a good storm, natures raw fury, and power is awsome to watch. |

Well, coming from Texas (in Tornado Alley) thunderstorms are not to suprising when they occur here. We had one a few months ago in spring where a funnel cloud went right over the house and there was a small tornado outbreak in north Dallas. Do you get tornadoes in England or is it just in the U.S.?
