Thunder & lightning.

Yesterday we had a very warm and humid day.
The weatherman talked about heavy thunderstorms from French.
Just after midnight the thunder & lightning show started.
It was a lighting show above us with the terrible sound of the thunder.
And then I count how many seconds are there between you see the lightning and how long it takes till you hear the thunder.
I counted till one and a terrible heavy lightning was there.
The windows vibrated so hard it was.
It took many hours before this very heavy thunder disturbance was gone.
I can't remember we have had such a terrible thunderstorms in the last 6 years.
No ... I really don't like thunder and lighting shows at night.

I think they are cool!

I love thunder and lightning. Wasn't that a cool Darrell Mansfield song?




I love to watch and listen to storms--just not while trying to sleep.

Yes "Thunder And Lightning" is a very cool Darrell Mansfield song from the album "Revelation".
That's a very cool rocking album.

It's the sound of the thunder that scars me so much.
No it's most certainly no "rock sound".

My wife loves thunder and lightening. I could really do without most of it myself.

Well if this explains anything. I went camping in a tornadoe ( I know you guys are going to kill me with my spelling of that word) Along with Alldat, my dad, my brother, and my old preacher. It was so freaky

Here in Arizona, we are about a month away from the start of the "monsoon season" and all the thunder and lightning storms that go along with it.

I love thunderstorms - we've had several the past couple days.

Thunder and lighting is nice when it's far away from me, as soon it comes closer and the sound of the thunder is hard I don't like it anymore.

You guys actually get flooding in the desert for "monsoon season" don't you?

A few months ago was the first time in as long as I can remember that the thunder was so close it shook the house. I'm used to thunder and lightning. Living near Seattle, WA you get used to rain and all that goes with it. But thunder that shakes the house? That's an extremity I'm not used to.

We get house-shaking lightining fairly often. Got pounded again this afternoon. Yee-hah!

Near Seatlle? Where exactly?

I live in Orting about 15 miles east of Tacoma.
We hear more artillery shelling from Ft Lewis then seem to hear thunder.

Sammamish. Used to be part of Redmond about 7 or 8 years ago. You're definitely a ways down there. Could probably buy a dozen CDs for the price of the gas it would take to drive to Tacoma and back.

This was the first time we have gotten a house-shaking thunder.
We can get this afternoon more thunder.

Tell me about it. I don't get up the Redomond/Samammish area much, but I have to drive to Federal Way each day for work (40 miles round trip). My monthly gas budget is quickly approaching our food budget for a family of 5.
You gotta laugh or else you'll cry.

For some reason your image attachment isn't showing up for me Yvonne.

It's gone now.
