Try coming to Florida, I've been in storms with so much lightning, it was like daylight! I lived in Florida for 18 years of my life then moved to the Midwest, the storms here are 100 times worst than anything I ever saw in Florida. Not including hurricanes. |

They've been calling for severe thunderstorms every single day except two, for going on 3 weeks here in Northern Virginia. So far, total rainfall is less than my cat spits in 4 minutes on your average day. My front lawn has alligatored cracks in the topsoil, and I'm thinking about letting the grass finish blowing away and just plant gravel. |

Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile yeah. most of the people i know run outside to take photos or watch the storms roll in. I love thunderstorms. We sit all the time on our covered back porch and watch em approach. and the air smells so fresh. |

I got a call from my dad and girlfriend last night, and at nearly $3.00 a minute it'd BETTER be important, saying that a Tornado tore through my neighborhood back home, toppled trees, and popping one of my windows.
I guess I never thought Tornadoes could happen in a downtown area... |

Im from Kansas. Yeah I have seen a storm or two. Picture of me in a field running after a nader. http://www.supercellhunter.com/pictorn.jpg I was in Lubbock 5/11/70 for the big one. My car was totaled with me inside. 26 people died that night. Don't mess with naders, at least not at night. |
