I just love a thunderstorm, br especially at night, br the wind, the rain, the smell, br but most of all the lightning! br br I love to sit out on the porch, br wind messing up my hair, br and watch the sky light up, br as the bolts pierce stagnate air. br br I like to count the seconds, br and to be startled by the thunder, br that I knew would soon be coming, br but still, a sense of wonder. br br The pets don't like the thunderstorms, br they cower, crouch and hide, br yes, it has been pointed out to me, br that they have more sense than I.
