Thunderstorms can be wonderful

Tweet

Ever since I was a youngster I have loved thunderstorms. I want to be where I can see the lightning and hear the thunder roll. My father used to tell me that the thunder was Hendrik Hudson bowling and getting a strike. Of course, if it was very short, then maybe it was a split. My dad was brought up in New York state, so it was reasonable for that to be a legend. Of course, since I've grown up I've found that thunderstorms can kill, so that makes me careful of being where I can get hit by lightning, but you'll still find me on my porch watching the show. And while I'm sitting there I pray for the people and animals who don't have shelter or who might be hurt by the storm, because there are always some.
