I'm from Georgia where summer thunderstorms are extremely common and we had ones that were so explosive that candles would vibrate off the fireplace mantle. I moved to SoCal and i'm always amused when a small storm comes by once a year and people freak out.

I miss those storms man. Nothing like sitting on the porch and watching them roll through

As we called it in Missouri: good sleeping weather.

I can nap through a tornado, j tell you.

Same here hoss. Rain on a tin roof is unmatched.

That would put me into a coma.

Now hear this: we have almost no mosquitoes. Sometimes I joke I killed one and drove them back into extinction.

I grew up in São Paulo, Brazil. The thunderstorms there are GLORIOUS!
