The best think to know during such rainy or stormy days is, if the lightning is safe enough to stand next to the window or outside. Let me give you a tip, if you can hear the sound within 5 seconds of seeing the light, then it is extremely dangerous.Nabeelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17350990439729881786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7390236678783638686.post-4265578707876001352008-06-05T22:24:00.000-05:002008-06-05T22:24:00.000-05:00I love night time thunderstorms when I'm curled up...I love night time thunderstorms when I'm curled up in bed.

It is amazing how a storm can be so savage and yet so serene, exciting and enlivening all of our senses... while calming us, too, if the fear is replaced by respect of nature. <BR/><BR/>We haven't had a big thunderstorm here in New England yet this season... but when we do, I will be thinking of you.

I open up the blinds, windows and door and the boys and I sit and watch the storm. If it's nighttime, we'll sit and watch the clouds roll in and the lightening display. Glad to know we're not the only ones that do that. We're supposed to have sever storms tomorrow. Am I crazy to be excited? :)Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12377383730260542408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7390236678783638686.post-20313283995317657622008-06-05T17:29:00.000-05:002008-06-05T17:29:00.000-05:00Beautiful work - and that second photograph is esp...Beautiful work - and that second photograph is especially memorable.david mcmahonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18009095220051075552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7390236678783638686.post-55230575459386815282008-06-05T17:19:00.000-05:002008-06-05T17:19:00.000-05:00Beautiful photos.Thunderstorms - and we have a lot...Beautiful photos.<BR/>Thunderstorms - and we have a lot of them here - are so gorgeous, but they still make me nervous.
