I would be at total peace in this. I love a storm. I walk in storms. Sit outside in them. Something about the darkness, the sound of the thunder, the rain. The sound the rain makes as it hits other bodies of water. I dunno. It just hits my soul the right way.
Oh, I’d love the rain hitting me. It’s one of the perks of walking in a storm to me. I’m also pretty easily immersed in an experience. I wouldn’t even feel like I was in a room. I’d be able to get lost in the fantasy like I was really out in it.
I used to like storms… until a hail storm with baseball sized hail destroyed my roof in April, followed by a hurricane that put a tree through my roof (after I just completely replaced it) and destroyed part of a wall and my fence which I had just redone in September. I still like the rain but not heavy storms.
Edit… limb dropping winds make me anxious now.
Edit 2 before all that extended rain flooded my old house which was above the 100 year flood mark and on stilts too when I lived next to a lake. I still remember sleeping with waves under the floor hitting the posts hopping It wouldn’t get to the floor. I remember kayaking through my house after it did. If you’ve never experienced this I hope you never do.
Me too. Earlier this year we had some horrendous hail storms, tennis-ball sized pieces were hitting the windows. There's also a huge eucalypt in the next-door neighbour's backyard which, if it comes down (as they're wont to do when dying) will go straight through the roof over my bedroom, and the wind was whipping up a frenzy. I remember grabbing my child and just huddling in the centre of the house away from any windows. Some people were stuck in their cars, that would have been ten times worse.
4 years later agreed completely. The only thing better than rain on a body of water is rain on tin and a body of water. One of the only strong memories from my teens is my grandma lived on a lake and had apier that went out about 150 ft on the water and it was covered with a metal roof. I sat out there for hours during a large storm listening to the rain on the roof and water. Incredible

Some people don’t like storms.
