Living in Florida, I have seen my share of storms. I love watching the lightning but am scared to death of it as well. I will not step outside my door when there is lightning............NO WAY!!! But I'll watch it form the inside of my house. It is like watching fire works with no color. And of course I have been through a few hurriicanes...........that's not much fun but I've never been hurt or suffered damage, thank goodness. Tornadoes do fascinate me but never seen more than a water funnel in the gulf. That was exciting to see.

I'm weird. I just LOVE storms...as long as I can stay inside and watch them. I think they are just so relaxing and intriguing. I only hate it when someone gets hurt because of them. I hope no one in your town or neighborhood gets hurt by this one!

I love storms too. Everyone else here gets so nervous and scared, kind of takes the fun out of it.

I love storms too, but we don't get much damage in NYC.
Be safe!

I love storms too. We will usually pull a chair up to the end of the garage door and watch them come our direction.

I can't say that "I love storms". Here in Kansas we take storms very seriously because you never know when one might produce a tornado. I would love to see a really big tornado but not where anyone loses anything. I have seen several smaller tornados. When the weather gets bad we have an eye to the sky and the internet weather map on!!!!!
Here is a tornado that was 1/2 mile from our house in 2003. My husband took this picture and my daughter put it on the internet. It never touched the ground. The country side had many tornados like this one on this day but there was no damage. http://www.weatherunderground.com/wx...y=#slideanchor

Wow Diana, that's about as close as you want to get to a storm like that.
I love to watch storms. When I was about 6 we were ar my grandparents farm in Illinois. A tornado struck right outside the house, and I was standing in a window watching the post office accross the road blow apart when my grandpa grabbed me and ran for the basement. He said I "didn't have the good sense to be scared" LOL I guess I haven't changed much with time.
