Default How do you feel about thunder and lightning?
It's pissing it down here and loud thunder and lightning. I love it.

Does it scare you or not?

They are scary because lighting strikes are extremely rare they do happen and result in deaths

A uk paddle boarder recently got struck and dies in Greece.

I love a good thunderstorm but I have to be indoors, naturally. And they get me a little anxious for the safety of people I know and love who might be out there. Stories of people getting killed by lightning strikes spook you out.

Can’t dogs sense lightning-storms before they happen?

I was out for a walk when the storm started here. Me and boy were in the woods and it was amazing....warm and pouring down....got a bit sketchy when it started lightening though.....In the midst of a lot of tall trees so we made it back home in time for the road to turn into a river

Passed now and still feels a billion degrees

It's bright sunshine here in the North East.

That just means that God doesn't like you in the North West at the moment.

God is a Yorkshireman.

He gets very restless definitely before a storm.
I guess they can.

I recall one years back, quite a while before it happened where he wouldn't go out for his walk at the usual time.
Then the storm came.

After it was well over, he then went out.
So yeah I'd say they can.

I was scared of it as a kid - I used to unplug the TV aerial. Now I don't mind it.

Much to the discontent of Gen.-Z, lightning/extreme climate is something that “cancel-culture” can’t change.

Yes they do Cherie.
That's exactly what my Staffie does too.
As did the one I had before him.

We had an aerial strike years ago, the tv was beggared.

I enjoy a good storm it's always needed when the weather is too warm and clammy and horrible, some people have found it odd over the years when I say oh my head hurts it needs to thunder but I genuinely do get a weird tense headache before it thunders.

I really wish it would thunder right now, my head actually hurts atm and the heat is horrible. Hasn't thundered a decent amount for ages and the past few times it has its been like one rumble then nowt

There was a storm a few days I was out in a pub restaurant sitting in their conservatory dining area and they had the doors open

I’m not joking the thunder claps were like the end of the world bangs
