Thunder 2

Oh Gabs thats too funny. Im glad its all over. So you still have your Teddy? I lost my poor Teddy never to be found again.LOL You sound like me I talk and talk when Im nervous about something.LOL Are the kids doing okay?

I must live near you, I'm also scared of thunder and we had it today as well, I hate it at night, if it's forecast at night I lay awake waiting for it, Lol.

I have to admit that I seek safe harbour if I am caught outside in a storm as I am a very unlucky person and terrified at the prospect of a lightning strike. The only worries I have when indoors are if the storm is electrical and I have to turn the computer off for a while or if there is flash flooding. I am sorry you were so alarmed by it all, you should be really safe where you are, and it is a good job the kids were in, yes?

I'm like that with tornados - I'm fine with thunder and lightening, actually get a kick out of watching but tornadoes have me on the edge until all danger is past. LOL - I also do the same thing, talk and talk and talk about anything in the world. Just wait until first warning we get - I'll be kicking some butt posting on myLot :)

Ok I am sorry Angel but now I just want to giggle! lol Poor kids - it is supposed to be them who cling to you when they are scared! lol xxxx

Im glad its passed and Im sure your kids are as well. As for your puppy he was of no help by the sounds. I hope you have some friends you can call incase it does come back but dont make them long distance friends it may cost you a small fortune.lol Hopefully the worst is over and sunshine is here to stay.

Gabs, next time it thunders and lightens, send it out my way. I love it. Or, emaile me, and I will talk you though it. I find it quite peaceful, funny that we both have such a different reaction to it. Stay well, be happy, and have a great day. I will send you some dry heat of 120 degrees today. :)

So sweet gabs, I get nervous too with all the thuinder and lightening. especially when we were living in jammu and there were hills and tall trees all around. The wind swayed them too harshly andI used to get really scared. I do control my nervousness though.Only thing that freaks me out is cockroaches now. I do scream a lot and my eight year old son has to rescue me from the situation.

Tell me about it... I don't mind thunder at all; in fact, as I said in your first thunder discussion, I like to watch it when it's darker. It's quite an amazing thing, all that energy releasing from being stored up. A good time for me to collect water, too. :-) With regards to your phoning the kids... is it not nearly always an hour of chatting? he he he. I'm amazed you were brave enough to hold the phone to your ear when the wires are likely to be zapped outside. :-) In an attempt to make you feel safer though, during thunderstorms, I would think there's very little chance of your home being struck, because of the closeness and height of the surrounding buildings and besides, if you're dry and earthed, you should be safe. It's probably more the loud noise that makes you fearful... the ferocity of the storm was quite great. We had two... so where's your other one gone? lolol Brightest Blessings my friend... stay safe.

LOL My grandma calls and keeps me on the phone for as long as she can, talking about any old thing (what she bought at the shops, what she didn't buy, the birds in her garden etc etc). I'll be sure to check what the weather is like next time - she may have an alterior motive like you!!

Gabs you are hilarious. I feel where you are comming from though. I do not like to be alone when there is a thunder storm.

I'm glad you could talk to your kids during the whole thing. I don't think I could've even done that. My phone cord doesn't reach to my bed under my covers and pillow! LOL

Hi Gabs. Did you know using the phone in a thunderstorm is verboten. You're lucky you didn't get zapped. I used to tell my kids it was the big clouds having an argument with each other and they began to enjoy the storm and make up stories about what thjey were arguing about. Hope you're over the stormy weather by now. Hugs.

Hi gabs. You did good talking to your kids on the phone. I used to be scared of Thunder and lightening when I was a kid but not anymore. I didn't do anything it just disappeared by itself. Here in California, it's rare that we have Thunder and Lightening. But I am moving to Denver to live there few months and I know they have some bad weather there in the winter so I'm sure they will have Thunder and lightening.

Hello Gabs, I am having great time laughing at your misery. LOL. I just replied to your other post about thunder. Well you did well to talk to your kids that would have been reassuring. And hopefully with all the talking you were disatracted enough not to think about thunder. LOL. What jumping Gabs would like? I feel it would be good exercise, don't you think. LOL. Good luck and hope thunder doesn't come back for dear Gabs sake. Have a nice day. :)

Now, I hope you were using a cell phone and not a land line phone :) Don't want to use the phone during a thunderstorm!! Feel free to blow it our way state side, we need rain so so bad here! Hope it's all over for you soon!

I am glad that its over, however u do know that it is best NOT to be on the phone when the thunder is going on don´t you. I remember when I was a kid - we were never allowed to be on the phone when the thunder was ongoing and also never watch Tv. I thought they were ridicilous until something actually happened with both tv and phone during a thunderstorm.. now i NEVER use the phone =)

It was thundering and lightening all morning in our area as well this morning and I am hoping it is over as well . While it was thundering and lightning I was talking on the phone with a friend but still was worried about the fact that I was going to be hit because it was a cordless phone , I had unpluged my computer and my t.v for awhile but ended up plugging them back in . I hate the thunder and lightning becasue I worry about fires . That is my big fear that and the fact that the lightning might get in the house because a friend of mine had a house fire this way and almost lost two of her children years ago when the lightning got in the house throgh an open window and had no way out and her children were asleep on the couch where it was bouncing back and fourth . I have always been nervous since she told me this story .

gabs i just responded to someone else who had thunder and lightening. Thats so weird. Anyways I love thunder and lightening. I can sit and watch it for hours. its so cool to see the lightening shoot across the sky. It gets me excited lol But i had a friend who was so scared of it she would hide in a closet. i felt for her . There was nothing I could say that would change her mind.

lols gabs, good thing you dont call your kids to get you home hahaha...you sure is funny gabs trying to do just anything to ignore those thunder and lightning, well if it was me then surely I'll do the same lol
