Thunderstorms

[Dougie Brootal]

now that spring is here, ive been checking the weather all day everyday waiting for the first big thunderstorm. i dont know what it is but i am obsessed. my house blew over in a tornado in 2002 and i was terrified of all bad weather for a while but now i love thunderstorms and dark clouds in the sky. i always keep my blinds closed at home but when it rains i open all the blinds and open the front door and sit and watch. anyone else have a strange obsession with thunderstorms? or maybe just kinda like the rain?

[Furtherman]

Love 'em. Especially down the shore, watching lightning hit the water. But I'll take them in the Northeast, where we are relatively tornado-free. However, I would like to chase a tornado once.

[Jughead]

Great thread..I thought I was alone again???..Sometimes when I watch the radar I get mad when they miss us...I have seen 3 tornadoes in my lifetime..I hope I never see another...Just like the black sky building to the west then I run for my favorite radar site....

Nice!

Juggy...that radar is absolutely correct as I am sitting here...drinking a cocktail and watching the storm. It's a favorite laid-back pasttime of mine.

[Dougie Brootal]

damn this thread is an epic faildozer. i wish a storm would come and blow this thread away.

[mdr55]

I've been watching the weather too lately since I'm coaching Track. We got 2 track meets this weekend. Hope the weather people are wrong and it's nice and sunny.

[TooLowBrow]

i get the same feeling watching waves come in off the ocean. a great thunderstorm is like the turbulence of the ocean has come to you.

I love lighting!

I was in a wicked thunderstorm in Dallas 2 weeks ago. It could have been the leading edge of a microburst or an actual tornado, actually. It was about 3 in the morning when the rain started coming down in sheets, then the wind picked up. It was biblical. I got up and moved into the hall away from the windows and it turns out that the house across the street had all it's windows blown in on the one side.

It trashed my brother's fence (I was staying at his house). It also took shingles off the roof, and completely lifted one of those blue wheeled recyclable bins from between two cars and took off with it. He has no idea where it went.

Driving to the airport there were tree branches everywhere, and I saw a billboard that came right off it's base.

Whew.

[jonyrotn]

Are you people fucking shitin' me?
EPO, you're really disappointing me..I expect more out of you now..You roll with the cool kids..

Doug, no matter how hard you try, the rain won't wash the gayness off your anus..

[reillyluck]

Remember april showers bring may flowers? how many times did it actually rain this month? flowers are so fucked for the month of may!

[Friday]

i used to watch thunderstorms with my dad on the front porch of my childhood home.

loved trying to figure out where the next lightning bolt would appear..... good memories.

i still love a good spring storm. sometimes i even go out on my porch.

also... nothing more romantical than kissing in the rain..... just sayin! :bye:

Am I the only one that hates thunderstorms. I don't mind if it rains, but lightening. I hate it.

[Ritalin]

Yeah, but thunder only happens when it's raining.

[Mike Teacher]

Yeah, but thunder only happens when it's raining.

Lightning [and the accompanying thunder] can and do come out of clear skies. Someone was killed on a beach near here a few months ago; the closest cloud was miles away but that didnt stop enough potential to build up for a bolt that killed a guy playing on a sunny beach.

I record storms if theyre good; such is my fascination. Last night it started rumbling so the Zoom H2 goes on the front porch to see if I can get some nice thunder, and some good lightning strikes, like hearing the ionization build up just before the bolt.

I'm terrified of thunderstorms, but that's probably because my mom instilled the fear in me. If I took a bath or shower during the storm, she'd freak that I'd get electrocuted. If I was talking on the phone, she'd swear lightning would come through the receiver and kill me. If I stood near a window during the storm, lightning would seek me out as a target.

Thanks, Mom! :bye:

i love thunderstorms. one just went through my area. as i walked outside to run a few errands, i got to see two simultaneous bolts of lighting looking out over the lake i live right next to. it was awesome.

Cool! We're supposed to get thunderstorms tonight. I love watching them from my balcony. Plus, they'll wash away this damned pollen.

The best thunderstorms I saw were during the rainy season (winter) in Saudi Arabia. With all that open desert, the lightening was that much brighter and really lit up the sky and the thunder just seemed to echo forever.

[PapaBear]

We had one of those thunder explosions yesterday, that sound like a bomb going off. My whole house shook, and I was sure that lightning must have hit right outside my window. I texted a friend who lives about 7 miles away, and it sounded the same to her. Imagine what that must have sounded like, at the exact spot it hit!

When I used to go stay with my ex in-laws in WV, I'd sit in my car during a storm (wasn't allowed to smoke in the house) and sit back to watch the lightning. They lived on top of a big hill that was surrounded by mountains. During some storms, the lightning was striking about once every other second in all directions. What an awesome show, at night!!! Especially when stoned.:smoke:

[Dougie Brootal]

wasnt me i guess. no thunder. no lightening. no nothing.damn you juggy.

[paracetamol flanders]

2 men enter. One man leaves.


Oh, thunder storms. I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. I used to love watching violent thunder storms ravage Detroit even more than Detroit ravaged itself. Counting the seconds to figure out which friend might have died horrifically or had received secret powers. Seen trees split in half by lightening just meters away from me. Ditto for Boston.

Unfortunately atmospheric conditions over Portland, Oregon make thunder extremely rare (maybe twice a year...or maybe silent but deadly). My thunder has literally been stolen. Waah.

[Justice4all]

We had a small thunderstorm last night here. About 4am in the NJ area.
It was pretty cool but some what mild.

Last year we had several storms that were so strong they struck the trees that are in our backyard. The entire house rattled with the thunderclap. One storm hit at like 3 in the morning. It was so loud it woke both me and Crippler up. Took us a while to fall back to sleep.

I think that was the same storm that created a tornado in Brooklyn last year.

And THAT'S something you do hear about very often.

Last night Indy got rocked with tornados & storms... woke up at 3:15 am, there was lightning which I love, then a special super-bright green bolt that had an audible buzzing sound then struck (somewhere close)!<p>

Papa Bear, I'm from WV, and I think what you said is exactly why I love storms. When you're safe up in the mountains you can watch miles away and it's prettier than any picture John Denver ever painted.

[A.J.]

Holy shit did we get pummeled yesterday. Trees were down all over the place near my house. That storm moved in so fast that you couldn't see 5 feet in front of you and streets were flooding with water in minutes.

even living in North Dakota, (unrecognized land of tornado destruction) that storm this week was amazing. It looked like my enclosed porch was doing 65 mph on it's own. I couldn't see OUT my windows!
It was the first time that I've experienced the tingly feeling and have the hair on my head feel like it's "standing up" and I thought...time to go to the basement.

I live on the south shore of Long Island. When we were kids my parents had a big house with a great wrap-around porch. When the summer thunderstorms would come we'd sit out on the porch and watch them. I love a great thunderstorm, especially in the summer. Those storms are usually so intense, yet so quick.

[Gvac]

The weather forecasts said nothing about rain this evening here in northern New Jersey but it's thundering with flashes of lightning right now and there are a few drops coming down.

End of the world-type storm raging in North Jersey right now. Fantastic lightning display for about 20 minutes now. House rattling thunder, heavy rain, firetruck sireens, dogs and cats living together...

[Bossanova]

If I lose power, and it stays hot out with me sweating in my sleep like a commoner. Hay makers will be headed mother natures way

[Hottub]

Lightning flashes every 2 seconds. Some REALLY close. Now I have hail.
The winds are ridiculous. Thunder is booming. Power is browning out now.

[ChrisBrown]

Wow, this is some storm. It sounds like there was a direct lightning hit somewhere around BAM, a couple of blocks away.

[Gvac]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! There was just a thunder boom so loud it literally scared the shit out of my cat! She crouched down, looked at me with 'help me' eyes, then ran down the basement to her litter box and took a crap.







OK, it was me not the cat.

i was actually detoured because something skeery happened right near the softball park... i didn't get to see what it was though.

[drjoek]

My dog Katie just came into the TV room curled up at my feet. 30-45 seconds later lightning hits the house (happens all the time I live on a hill lightning rodsetc ) and we get a power surge and lights flickered

btw.... nothing more mesmerizing than watching the lightning through the swaying trees as waves of rain wash over the pavement.

nature is a beautiful and destructive companion.

[KingGeno]

It's crazy here AGAIN outside of Philly. It was windy as hell, raining, and it seemed like it was a light show or something out of the terminator. Flashes everywhere.

I dig thunderstorms, the noise, the smell of ozone, etc. Very calming.

[A.J.]

Man, there was some fierce thunder and lightening here last night. It lasted all of 10 minutes though.

[walking joint]

i live in Franklin Square which is in Nassau County and we got nothing. i didn't water my lawn b/c this big storm was coming and it let me down.

[Heather 8]

Unless I slept through the storms and the ground dried up really quickly overnight, we got nothing. And it's humid out right now. Bah.

Actually, looking at the last 24 hours, seems there was a storm nearby just before midnight, but it seems to have bypassed us.

[ChrisBrown]

Great storm last night in Brooklyn though it lasted about 30 minutes. There were a couple of lightning strikes within a few blocks.

I am originally from Spokane, WA and I remember thunderstorms being much more dramatic and lasting longer in eastern Washington State. Maybe it was just because I was a kid and they seemed like stronger storms. Recently I went to visit a friend in Madison, WI and we had the strongest thunderstorm I have ever been in. He said storms there are usually that strong. I have lived in Washington, DC and Brooklyn for seven years and I find the storms generally fast moving and not as dramatic as you would get in the inland part of the West or the northern midwest.

[Furtherman]

AWESOME storm last night. I stood on the stoop and braved the lightning - but it was cooler outside than my apartment. I fully expected to read this morning that hundreds were killed by lightning strikes... there were so many of them!

[Dougie Brootal]

had about 10 minutes of rain, but a ton of thunder and lightening, about an hour or more. sat on the porch and drank some beers watching, till i got eaten by mosquitos.

[ravn816]

I was one of the many people who lost power last night. Came back on in the middle of the night. Played boardgames in candlelight while watching lighting through the windows. I'm tired. Stayed up too late because we lost track of time due to no working clocks that were in eyesight, then waking up at almost 2am and needing to get out of bed to turn our ACs back on, turn off the tv, shutting windows, etc.

[Boom Boom]

I was working last night and didn't realize there was a big storm. I got to my town around 11pm and saw police cars everywhere along with fire trucks and ambulances and thought, perhaps, the zombies were finally here.

[Earlshog]

Yeah nice storm last night, although it sounds like it lost some of the intensity (the hail, etc) you Bergen county / Western Jersey folk are talking about by the time it reached Hudson County / NYC ( the mountains beat those storms up quite a bit). As Furtherman was saying it really was sick seeing it come over the hills in JC. It looked and sounded like a storm you would see in a movie.

Thunderstorms make me horny...I don't know if it's the intense low pressure that does it, or the fact that I batch in the shower so much.:unsure:

ACK!!

Wild Thunder happening here right now... I actually jumped a few times!

The kitten is hiding under the bed, but Mr Handsome has seen it all before and is sitting here keeping me safe :)

I think I was in the middle of a baby tornado today with the family. We were on 287 north going to Somerset Patriots game (rained out) and passed through violent rain... then calm with wide swirling lightning then violent rain... then nothing...

It was a NJ finger of god.

Apparently the storms came right up thru Toronto and as a result my flight home was canceled. I am sitting in a hotel room in Winnipeg, only 1/3 of the way thru my trip home drinking a bottle of wine.
My flight was supposed to leave Winnipeg at 3 pm but at 2:30 the flight was listed as delayed then about 15 min later it was canceled due to severe weather. Sux to be here alone, but at least I got stranded in a city I am familiar with so I knew exactly where to go to shop, instead of getting as far as Toronto and getting stuck.
Longest flight home ever...who'd a thunk this could happen in the summer!

How do you land in Winnipeg without the ice runway?


*Oh, sorry about your canceled flight but CONGRATS on your bottle of wine.

They're going to have a little less power, now. My city just killed 200 of them and fed them to zoo animals.

They had some killer ones in Vietnam when I was there last week. The coolest thing I saw was when I was flying out and I could see them go off in the distance.

If someone took this map seriously they would assume that Canada has no roads. We have at least one, the Transcanada Highway. It is even four lanes in certain places.

We had a couple of thunderstorms on Tuesday. I was sitting in my front room on the PC. I sit on angle with my left side facing four windows. Out of the corner of my left eye I saw a white streak with silver around it hit our street. Scared the SHIT out of me. Sounds like we have another storm on the way. :sad:

There's a lot of rumbling, and this time it's not the gas.

Ooooh, nice digs.
I really like weather, which sounds lame to say, but since I moved to the midwest it seems like we get two or three kinds of weather a day without warning. Keeps things interesting.

[leefromtx]

Weather has always fascinated/frightened me. Living on the fringe of Tornado Alley, I have seen more tornadoes than I could possibly count. The town I live in has never been hit but we have had some very close calls. Last year, a storm produced softball sized hail that destroyed the roof of my house. There was a tornado in the cloud as well but I couldn't see it because the storm hit us after dark. I could hear it, though, and this one made a different sound that wasn't like the others I have heard in the past. It wasn't a rumbling. It was more of a high pitched swirling sound. Probably a little fella.

[Jughead]

It is one of my favorite things to study..Good thing all the cool kids on here are in bed and wont read this:innocent:..But I study it and really like trying to understand all of it... Especially the different types of storm cells...I would say I'm also in to watching locomotives coming in to town in the morning and taking pic's of different types of diesel smoke:wink: ...But that is a lie:lol: But I really do love watching and studying the weather....Hayseed Juggy

[Jughead]

By the way that's him in my av from last Halloween

[Mullenax]

Have you ever seen "ball lightning"? There is probably some scientific name that I'm missing...I saw it once as a teenager and it solidified a friendship because we were the only two witnesses. Afterwards it seems like the lightning here is capable of different sky colors than on the east coast, and the horizontal lightning we get during warnings is alien to me. I'm not sure if it's just that I never paid attention when I lived on the east coast, or if the electrical aspect can be different regionally.

[Jughead]

I think Ball lightning is unexplained by scientist... I have never seen it but I do know it is a real phenomenon that does exist ....I'm not a very good speller so bear with me I mix up my toes and my fingers sometimes.......:smile:

I saw 2 cars crushed under a tree yesterday. A BMW and a Land Rover.

[Misteriosa]

the storm hit by me around 3 pm yesterday and came out of nowhere. it was so swift and severe, that im convinced it had to be a tornado at some point. there were trees torn out of the ground and plywood shot into cars. im in the north bronx, btw.
