How do you feel about storms and severe weather?

I enjoy storms myself. When there is thunder, lighting and rain for some reason I feel a strange sense of calm and yet at the same time excitement. It's beautiful watching the lighting, and rain and cloud formations, and the coloring of the clouds as well if it's during the day, usually at dawn or sunset. There is quite a bit of severe weather where I live, but it doesn't bother me that much even though I will occsionally lose power or have tree branches break and come down. I do live in Tornado Alley and there have been some close, yet still I do not worry too much. If it's my time to go then it's my time to go is how I look at it. For the record though, I do think earthquakes are much more fun to be in. When ever there are storms, severe or otherwise it really does help to give you perspective in life, at least for me. It helps to show just little we are, and for all our technology we cannot predict not control the weather or the awesome devastation that can it can bring or leave in it's wake. I guess though one could also look up at the stars for those same feelings, but how often do we do that anymore?

I like storms and think they are fascinating but when it starts lightening ,I don't quite like it so much anymore.

I enjoy a good thunderstorm; but tornadoes, hurricanes, blizzards, etc are frightening. They can be devastating and you can't get out of their way or avoid them. I think the Weather Channel has brought that fact and fear into our lives. It used to be you would read something or hear about these disaster. Now you can actually see them as the are happening and you can see the aftermath. Reading about the tornadoes that destroyed the town in Kansas was one thing; but, actually seeing the devastation really "brings it home". As long as we don't let that fear consume us; it is a good thing. People that might not have evacuated before, can now see what could have been them and they will be more likely to evacuate or be better prepared than in the past.

I don't mind regular thunderstorms, but when a severe weather advisory comes into effect, I get really nervous and anxious, thinking of tornadoes and whatnot. I love snow, and everything having to do with snow, however. Blizzards, and all of that, granted I don't lose power.

I love storms, and yes I agree they can be fascinating, but there are times when storms can be a little to much to handle. This weekend we had a small tornado near our city, and we had a heck of a lot of rain. When the weather gets severe, it's just too frightning, after what happend in Kansas with the tornado, I just get more and more afraid. Since for us in El Paso this was the first time we had a mini tornado, it made me feel even more scared, since we've never had one before.

For my area our biggest threat is tornados and they do scare me. There have been some bad ones lately, and usually it doesn't bother me as the sirens go off quite a bit. But, with the really bads one there have been this year, I've become scared and am taking the warnings more seriously.

honestly, i don't like any calamities wherein there are destructions of everything after but we cannot prevent this esp. if God will permit this to happen. all we have to do is to pray to stop whatever calamities may happen. sometimes this would teach us lessons to love and care the natures god's gift.
