Thunder and Lightning

Are you a watcher, or do you cower in the corner until the storm has passed?


It doesn't bother me too much so long as I am not out in it Lol My hubby and daughter are the type to hang out the window watching it....silly fools! :shock: Lol

im a watcher and i like being out in it
my grandad was struck twice by lighting and on the 2nd occasion he lost is leg
he was a sexton in daily scotland and he was on the way to ring the church bells
old god looks after his own eh :dunno:

i'm a watcher if there's thunder and lightning through the night i'll open the curtains and watch it lying in my bed

I hate thunder and lighening, if i'm out in it, i get into a shop till it's gone.

I was scared of it when young and now I have kids I've became more brave though I'm still scared if it wakes me through the night..my daughter carrie is terrified of it and will sit shaking while it's on...if she's out in it u can hear her screams before u see her..I've tried to get her to sit by the window and watch it..also tried to get her to watch the shows on tv where it explains what it is thinking if she understood it more she wouldn't be scared

im a watcher.. the most spectacular storm we seen was in majorca acouple of years ago.. we went there for a wedding anniversary n it was a great bonus.

bloomin eck about your grandad losing a leg wg.....god certainly does move in mysterious ways...as they say Shouldn't laugh really but its the way you said he was on his way to ring the church bells. Lol


and johno.. my daughter took pictures of a lightning storm while she was in Ibiza a couple of years ago, she said she's never seen anything like it.

I luv watching it..but wouldn't want to be struck by it.

I'm a watcher too.

When I was young and couldn't sleep because of it, my dad sat me on his knee and we watched it together, I thought it was the prettiest thing I'd ever seen and I've done the same with my son, he thinks it's awesome.

I remember out with my dog once (years ago) and it started to thunder and lightning, I was in a park and so I took my dogs collar off because it was mettle and sheltered under a tree until it finished and it wasn't till after that I realised that I was holding metal, had all my rings and stuff on and I stood under a tree just in case my dog got struck :shock:

awww Lol @ you holding the metal Angel, but apart from that your not supposed to stand under trees..... I dont think :shock: Lol

Years ago I used to walk home from work across an open field and a storm started. I didnt dare put an umbrella up and got drenched but I was so glad to get home it scared me to death. I remember my mum saying...you needn't have worried the lightning would have struck the tallest thing. I said mum................I was the tallest thing on the field

Awwwwwwe Candy :squeeze: bless xxxx

I bet you were terrified, little and terrified

well I wasn't that little......I was coming home from work!!

Oh Lol bless

I thought you must have been a little girl on your way home from school :squeeze: that's even more of an awe

Lol thanks for the :squeeze: anyway. xx

I'm a watcher if I'm in the house, I love to sit looking through the window or stand at the front door and watch it. Dont like it if I'm outside in it though

I'm a watcher........................but unless I have to, I wouldn't go out in it and I don't like being in the car.

I love storms. The power is awe inspiring! Storms at night are both frightening and thrilling at the same time. Nothing better fall asleep to.
