thunderstorms!

― Jody Beth Rosen (Jody Beth Rosen), Tuesday, 22 July 2003 17:42 (twenty-two years ago)

The things that make covered front porches so classic.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 22 July 2003 17:47 (twenty-two years ago)

are you having a thunderstorm?

I don't think we'll have any this week

― jel -- (jel), Tuesday, 22 July 2003 17:49 (twenty-two years ago)

yes, a really loud one!

― Jody Beth Rosen (Jody Beth Rosen), Tuesday, 22 July 2003 17:49 (twenty-two years ago)

fucking amazin. love em.

― Lovester (Lovester), Tuesday, 22 July 2003 17:49 (twenty-two years ago)

Everyone at my workplace is pressed up against the glass window watching it right now, which I find kind of scary and weird.

I don't like thunder.

― Ally (mlescaut), Tuesday, 22 July 2003 17:50 (twenty-two years ago)

rain go boom now nyc.

or balconies (cantilevers?), yes.

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Tuesday, 22 July 2003 17:50 (twenty-two years ago)

I always put my DM's on in a thunderstorm, in case the house gets struck by lightening (rubber soles you see).

― jel -- (jel), Tuesday, 22 July 2003 17:53 (twenty-two years ago)

I bet the thunderstorms you all are having now are relatives of the thunderstorms that have been rocking us down here for a couple days. I've never seen my son look at the sky so scared! THUNDER GO BOOM LOUD.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 22 July 2003 17:55 (twenty-two years ago)

I want some thunderstorms. :(

― Texas Sam (thatgirl), Tuesday, 22 July 2003 17:56 (twenty-two years ago)

My parents' Airedale REALLY doesn't like thunder. Sad to watch a big dog shake so much.

― Colin Meeder (Mert), Tuesday, 22 July 2003 17:57 (twenty-two years ago)

heavy storms used to spook me as kid sometimes - but it may have been just the dark dense clouds rather than the noise or sporadic bursts of light. electrical storms are mental.

― stevem (blueski), Tuesday, 22 July 2003 17:57 (twenty-two years ago)

thunderstorms are the best thing about summer.

yesterday the sun was out, it was raining light w/thunder, and then a rainbow appeared. all at once. (& i hate summer)

is the thunder in nyc bad? my gf is flying to jfk in a few.

― kephm, Tuesday, 22 July 2003 17:58 (twenty-two years ago)

I love the dark clouds, there is something so cheering about the minutes before the rain starts. I love rain and thunderstorms.

― jel -- (jel), Tuesday, 22 July 2003 17:59 (twenty-two years ago)

kephm: pretty dramatic, yeah... i hope her flight doesn't get delayed.

― Jody Beth Rosen (Jody Beth Rosen), Tuesday, 22 July 2003 18:00 (twenty-two years ago)

What is the most extreme weather you've ever experience directly?

― stevem (blueski), Tuesday, 22 July 2003 18:02 (twenty-two years ago)

I love them. They don't happen often enough, sadly.

― Mr. Diamond (diamond), Tuesday, 22 July 2003 18:02 (twenty-two years ago)

i love lightning - used to live on a hill just outside london and when there was a good storm could stand on my balcony and watch the city light up was pretty amazing. classic.

― Dave Stelfox (Dave Stelfox), Tuesday, 22 July 2003 18:04 (twenty-two years ago)

so do i: my 36th birthday (= my favourite ever) was topped off by a massive thunderstorm and we all had to scurry down from our picnic on the roof and shortly after (liek abt 35 mins) i fell disastrously in crush with one of the guests at it

actually the moomintroll party thrown me by dr vick's nephews wz possibly a better party, tho as it wz a barbecue i had eaten too much: instead of thunder, a blood-red full moon!!

― mark s (mark s), Tuesday, 22 July 2003 18:05 (twenty-two years ago)

sun

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Tuesday, 22 July 2003 18:06 (twenty-two years ago)

best thunderstorm i've seen - camping in the Dolomites, Northern italy. first night, pitch black on a hill, incessant lightning illuminating the village below. pretty cool, tho made me a bit nervous at the time. there was thunder too but not much, and very little rain either.

― stevem (blueski), Tuesday, 22 July 2003 18:08 (twenty-two years ago)

I Love Thunderstorms. One of my most vivid memories of being a kid is swimming in a covered swimming pool in Florida while it rained hard (no lightning though) and then getting out and eating tortilla chips and drinking cold 7-up.

― NA (Nick A.), Tuesday, 22 July 2003 18:09 (twenty-two years ago)

Haven't been in a good thunderstorm in a while. There's some sort of collective memory meme in all of us of being somewhere on a late summer afternoon as the clouds billow up and the wind whistles through the grass before the storm hits...

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 22 July 2003 18:09 (twenty-two years ago)

It's been raining so damn hard that I haven't been able to leave for lunch. I'm hungry.

― Jeanne Fury (Jeanne Fury), Tuesday, 22 July 2003 18:10 (twenty-two years ago)

some people are erotically attached to thunderstorms
I might be one of those people
I definitely married one

― Neudonym, Tuesday, 22 July 2003 18:10 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm actually frightened of thunderstorms to this day. None is far too many for me.

― donut bitch (donut), Tuesday, 22 July 2003 18:19 (twenty-two years ago)

The coolest is when you're driving towards one. It's perfectly tranquil where you are presently, but up ahead you see this dangerous beast whose den you're about to enter. 'Here it coooooomes' *whooosh*

― oops (Oops), Tuesday, 22 July 2003 18:19 (twenty-two years ago)

This happened to me while camping. You could see the wall of rain appoaching. We were not able to get the tent up in time.

Thunderstorms are uber-classic.

― fletrejet, Tuesday, 22 July 2003 18:31 (twenty-two years ago)

made our power go out last night for a bit, right as i was in the middle of trying to beat "Jedi Outcast", dammit.

― Kingfish (Kingfish), Tuesday, 22 July 2003 18:48 (twenty-two years ago)

The sunshine & heat that was present when JBR started this thread have now been replaced by gigantor black clouds & thunder and I'm most pleased. Well, except that my windshield wipers haven't been working lately OH NO!

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 22 July 2003 18:50 (twenty-two years ago)

Sex during (or just after) thunderstorms, inside with the windows open, ROOOLZ!

― Don't google me (Mert), Tuesday, 22 July 2003 18:51 (twenty-two years ago)

i thought that only happened in Dynasty

― stevem (blueski), Tuesday, 22 July 2003 19:02 (twenty-two years ago)

or my house

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 22 July 2003 19:06 (twenty-two years ago)

I heart thunderstorms a lot. Been forever since we've had a good one in LA, but I've been in some awesome ones in Tucson and on the road between CA and AZ.

― Chris Barrus (Chris Barrus), Tuesday, 22 July 2003 21:03 (twenty-two years ago)

na nana NAA NANA NAA NAA.

― Millar (Millar), Tuesday, 22 July 2003 21:09 (twenty-two years ago)

Thunderstorms are a major turn-on. They make me want to run around and blare The Final Frontier at full-volume. And if the thunder is loud enough to be heard over it? OH GOOD GOD YES.

The first thing (and often the ONLY thing) I do when a Tornado warning goes off? I go outside and stare at the sky.

― Andy K (Andy K), Wednesday, 23 July 2003 02:27 (twenty-two years ago)

Why I just capitalized tornado is beyond me.

― Andy K (Andy K), Wednesday, 23 July 2003 02:28 (twenty-two years ago)

You rang, Millar?

― NA (Nick A.), Wednesday, 23 July 2003 14:35 (twenty-two years ago)

Getting caught in a really monstrous thunderstorm while driving and your windshield wipers dying altogether...dud or duderer?

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 23 July 2003 14:59 (twenty-two years ago)

Big dud -- also big dud when the wiper blades fail, as happened to my wife a few weeks ago. She kept on driving, resulting in the utter destruction of our windshield (and we have an A-Class Mercedes, so that's a big-ass expensive windshield). The cause of all this heartache? We didn't buy Original Mercedes-Benz replacement blades, so the right blade was a few millimeters too long.

― Colin Meeder (Mert), Wednesday, 23 July 2003 15:16 (twenty-two years ago)

The storm was great last night.

When I got to work I saw that one of our trees has been sliced in half by lightening.

― Sarah McLUsky (coco), Wednesday, 23 July 2003 15:23 (twenty-two years ago)

thunderstorms!!

― Pabst Blue Rosen (Jody Beth Rosen), Friday, 1 August 2003 19:15 (twenty-two years ago)

very dark

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Friday, 1 August 2003 19:19 (twenty-two years ago)

Just had a brief but ferocious one. Now the sun is out again and a cartoon bird is on my shoulder, chirping while I warble a little tune.

― NA (Nick A.), Friday, 1 August 2003 19:22 (twenty-two years ago)

I got all excited lat night because it started thundering and lightning, but it only lasted for about 5 minutes. Then it just rained a wimpy little pitter-patter rain :(

― Mr. Diamond (diamond), Friday, 1 August 2003 19:26 (twenty-two years ago)

last

― Mr. Diamond (diamond), Friday, 1 August 2003 19:27 (twenty-two years ago)

Hail!

― Sarah McLUsky (coco), Friday, 1 August 2003 19:45 (twenty-two years ago)

I just stepped in a puddle.

― Mary (Mary), Friday, 1 August 2003 19:45 (twenty-two years ago)

We just had big mo'funkin' one here in NYC.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Friday, 1 August 2003 19:48 (twenty-two years ago)

really?

i enjoy storms if i'm out in the country, but in the city it feels menacing. plus i have to go out in it to go home, and i'm extremely paranoid about getting struck by lightning.

― lauren (laurenp), Wednesday, 12 May 2004 20:44 (twenty-two years ago)

but lauren you're nowhere close to being the tallest object in Manhattan!

― hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 12 May 2004 20:45 (twenty-two years ago)

i'm wearing heels today.

― lauren (laurenp), Wednesday, 12 May 2004 20:48 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm envious. I wish there was a thunderstorm here right now.

― kirsten (kirsten), Wednesday, 12 May 2004 20:49 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm envious. I wish there was a thunderstorm here right now. It's all sunny and warm and stupid here.

― kirsten (kirsten), Wednesday, 12 May 2004 20:49 (twenty-two years ago)

Oopsies.

― kirsten (kirsten), Wednesday, 12 May 2004 20:49 (twenty-two years ago)

I've had both today, kirsten!

― Barima (Barima), Wednesday, 12 May 2004 20:53 (twenty-two years ago)

Coincidentally, this article on last year's hailstorm/snow in South Central LA just ran.

― Elvis Telecom (Chris Barrus), Wednesday, 12 May 2004 21:05 (twenty-two years ago)

There are like direct lightning hits right outside my window right now.

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Sunday, 16 May 2004 01:36 (twenty-two years ago)

That's rather ominous.

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Sunday, 16 May 2004 01:39 (twenty-two years ago)

well, ok, not right outside. but pretty close.

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Sunday, 16 May 2004 01:41 (twenty-two years ago)

i got caught in this tonight. it was a doozy. for the best though; i kinda needed a shower after trudging around in the heat all day.

― stockholm cindy (Jody Beth Rosen), Sunday, 16 May 2004 02:26 (twenty-two years ago)

thunderstorms!

― stockholm cindy (Jody Beth Rosen), Monday, 24 May 2004 22:12 (twenty-two years ago)

I wish we had thunderstorms. The Bay Area doesn't have "weather", it would seem.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Monday, 24 May 2004 22:23 (twenty-two years ago)

Are they big? Are they loud? Is it dark and moody?

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Monday, 24 May 2004 22:23 (twenty-two years ago)

It's a bright and vivacious t'storm, with the sun still peaking through the clouds, and the sky a luminescent white color.

― Mary (Mary), Monday, 24 May 2004 22:25 (twenty-two years ago)

Fuckin' tornadoes!

― Kingfish Disraeli (Kingfish), Monday, 24 May 2004 22:48 (twenty-two years ago)

― benito mussolinington (dubplatestyle), Friday, 25 June 2004 20:51 (twenty-one years ago)

s.c., what does it look like in brooklyn? in midtown there's a heavy cloud cover, rumbling thunder, and a yellow-green cast to the air.

― lauren (laurenp), Friday, 25 June 2004 20:54 (twenty-one years ago)

uh, it's dark, but not dark-dark.

― stockholm cindy (Jody Beth Rosen), Friday, 25 June 2004 20:55 (twenty-one years ago)

We never get thunderstorms! Fuck fuck fuck the Bay Area. I"M QUITTING IT FOREVER.

― AdamL :') (nordicskilla), Friday, 25 June 2004 21:04 (twenty-one years ago)

how common are thunderstorms in the UK?

― mookieproof (mookieproof), Friday, 25 June 2004 21:25 (twenty-one years ago)

Not that common. Not in london, anyway. maybe 5-10 a year. Some big huge biblical ones, though. With buckets of lovely RAIN.

― AdamL :') (nordicskilla), Friday, 25 June 2004 21:26 (twenty-one years ago)

i will trade the foul humidity of eastern swamps for the bay area anytime--although the last time i was there (last september) it was fucking 95 F...

― mookieproof (mookieproof), Friday, 25 June 2004 21:29 (twenty-one years ago)

I can't remember a biblical thunderstorm in the UK. I'd also say twice a year max do we have an even half decent electrical storm. Boo.

― Markelby (Mark C), Saturday, 26 June 2004 12:24 (twenty-one years ago)

is this the day after tomorrow?

― RJG (RJG), Saturday, 26 June 2004 12:29 (twenty-one years ago)

there was one strike last night that must have hit near us (me and stence) a block away. all the car alarms went off... all we needed was plur and it would have been VOIB TOIM!

― donut bitch (donut), Saturday, 26 June 2004 15:58 (twenty-one years ago)

Man, and I've got to walk to Oxford Street for this Plan B thing...

For the past two weeks, I've been thinking that rain means god is on my side (ex boyfriend on holiday with new love, I want it pissing down!) but today I'm cross about this coz I've got no jacket or umbrella.

― Super-Masonic Black Hole (kate), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 15:36 (twenty-one years ago)

god's back! it's stopped raining now.

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 15:38 (twenty-one years ago)

That was wicked. I was out running errands until 5 minutes before the clouds burst. LIVIN' ON THE EDGE DUDERS

― Markelby (Mark C), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 15:47 (twenty-one years ago)

six months pass...

We've had rain for the last couple of days but the lightning and thunder just kicked in early this morning -- slept through a lot of it but am awake now just before dawn and the flashes and roars have been incredible. :-)
