3. You are more than welcome to have this one.
I can't even talk on the phone b/c the lightening is so bad. I shouldn't be on the computer, but I am a rebel (ha ha!)

7. We got a good one yesterday and this one is supposed
to extend on into the night. Which makes going home and curling up on the couch with a blanket sound so inviting.

13. Then you can really enjoy yourself. I like being at home
when a thunderstorm hits. I crack the windows and sometimes the wind will rush in. I like lighting candles, and if the power goes out, no problem! A blanket on the couch and a warm drink, and my cat.

Have a cozy time when you get home!

:hi:

b/c I have to watch Big Brother tonight. But I love to light all of the candles and just enjoy it.

I love it too
except for the fact that the light'n'noise started at the exact same time as the rain. No warm up. :D

Plus I'm out of salsa and paper towels and was on my way out the door to acquire these necessities when the ruckus started.

29. One just ended where I am
And it looks as if I'm about to get hit again! Yippie! I love a good thunderstorm, just so long as they don't have hail or tornadoes in them, that is. :)

Enjoy the storms!

35. Yeah as long as it isn't EVERY day. I like it every now
and then. But bad weather doesn't scare me. I've gotten so used to tornadoes since they are so rampant around here!

37. I love our rainy season
Texas can put on one heck of a thunderstorm, I have to give it that. Where I live it's all hills and valleys. The sound of the thunder rolling through them is awesome.

I had a tornado relocate my front porch to my backyard one year. I have to admit it did look better back there. :D
