Rain or thunderstorm?

I'm not a fan of either but I guess I like the thunderstorm better. In PI between June-September we get so much rain. And I hate it. I hate it because we have to suffer again the flood and like how useful the drainage are in Manila. I think thunderstorm is just exciting. I like it when I'm with someone. You know cuddling and stuff, pretending I'm scared even I'm not so I could get a tight hug. Lol So thunderstorm would be cool, though rain would be nice too.

I don't really like thunderstorms because the sound of thunder (especially when its really loud) scares the crap out of me lol. BUt i do LOVE rain, the harder the rain the better. Lots of people I know find me weird for this, but personally I find the sound of rain very soothing and relaxing. I love sitting in my house, in the dark, no lights on, no tv, nothing, and just listeing to it tap against my roof and my windows. That sound makes me fall asleep so easily.

Don't think that's weird at all. Honestly, I find rain has soothing effect too. True enough about how it makes you fall asleep. I have experienced that everytime rain starts to pour and if its dim outside. Makes me feel all lazy and just lay in my bed until I fall asleep. Lol

I too Chispa same like i used many times to enjoy raining when I was in Malaysia. I use to enjoy raining like you told. I'll switch off everything have some hot snacks with in my hand I'll just use to enjoy the sound of raining over the house roof, that sound was amazing I feel very happy, also I'll like lightning and thunderstorm sounds too. Thanks for the sharing. Happy lotting. Have a good day.

Great question...I like both actually.There is nothing like A Florida Thunderstorm(without the hurricane)..I remember when I was a kid at my grandparents house.Sometimes the electricity would go off during a scary windy thunderstorm.We would make a day of it.Eating and preparing food that was easy and did not require electricity ,playing games,anticipating when the lights would come on.When the lights finally come back on we would clap and clap as if we were at some kind of BroadWay play .It was wondeful and one of my fondest childhood memories...My other Grandmother has a tin roof so when it was a light shower the sound on the roof was so meditating and tranquil..I love a rainy day.Staying in the house with all the comforts you need.Its the best!

I love thunderstorms! If it's going to rain, I want some rumbles and a light show to go with it. My dogs don't like them, though, so they stick to me like glue until it's over. These are the only dogs I've not been able to train to not mind the storms, but all their lives were spent in the southwest where there is rarely any rain. I'll try again this summer, maybe I'll succeed.

I'd prefer the rain over thunderstorm.. i hate thunderstorm as the sound is pretty scary plus it has the capability of killing people.. i love it when it rains because it makes me feel relaxed somehow.. i've got no problems with flooding as drainage system here is great..

hello smooch oh i do not like thunderstorms at all. i hate it when our electricity gets knocked off by a storm like that, that might happen to blow through our area. and i will take the rain anyday over a thunderstorm. usually when that it does storm here where that i live, it knocks my internet connection out as well until the storm blows over or until the next day. but one should be safe at all times when they should happen to be out and about in a dangerous thunderstorm like that. the lightening (i hope that i spelt that correctly) is what that scares me. i always make sure that the children are inside and also the dog when that i know that it is fixing to come a storm outside. take care and have a beautiful evening.

I like thunderstorms because I love watching lightning. I like seeing the beauty of nature at work and I like seeing the sky lit up. The strikes are so unpredictable and beautiful. I love the smell and everything.

i love thunderstorms...this may sound strange but i find them so calming. i love to take a book and cuddle up with a blanket in my comfy chair with a coffee or tea and just relax! rain doesn't bother me too much, i only hate it when the pressure really drops because i get pressure headaches when it rains if the pressure drastically changes

I like the rain. Whenever I want a drink, I just stick my mouth up.
