1. I usually assume the fetal position when there's a thunderstorm.
I have this itsy bitsy, teeny tiny, hugemongus fear of lighting and the death it might cause. I so need to build a strong Faraday cage!

3. My cat is hiding now, under the bed.
The other animals are not scared.

I was almost hit by lighting on the beach, wet beach and lighting don't mix.

4. OMG!
I'm going to go off and hide in the corner, just because of what you said!

:P

I'll never go to the beach again! Ever! (I live in CO, so that's not going to be too hard to accomplish.)

6. The lighting storm came really fast, and we were still getting our stuff
in the car.

The lighting hit about 50 feet away, I can still feel the tingle in my feet.

2. My dear texanwitch!
That's one thing we don't have too often in this part of CA...

It would be tough for me to get used to, after so many years here... :scared:

5. We have had a lot lighting and thunderstorms this summer.
Also there is a train yard across the street.

Last night the crew was making a train, talk about noise.

They worked on that train all night.

I tune out the sound now.
