Today it is really windy out! its not raining and its not cold, just really windy. I dont mind a small storm, but i dont like to here about tornado's or anything THAT drastic, even though we rarely get those types of storms in canada, they are still scary!! I lived on the east coast of canada when they had the giant bizzard of 04, as well as when the hurrican juan roared through there knocking down all the tree's and taking peoples roofs off. I was outside walking home from work in it! lol imagine!! i am lucky i didn't get blown away! a 100lbs girl walking in 100km winds.

I remember Juan...EEEK! Left before White Juan hit though. I was also out in the hurricane...taking pictures of all things :P To answer your main question, I can't stand when it's stormy out. I have a fear of something happening at all times, so storms just tend to bring that out more.

I love storms. I live in Argentina, boring. No tornadoes, no hurricanes, no earthquakes, no heat, no cold, no snow. . . The only thing I look forward to is a great thunderstorm. It's Storming right now in Buenos Aires and I love it. Going outside to sit on my terrace in my shorts to watch the natural fireworks!!!

there's no hurricanes or tornados in our place and I'm very thankful about it but when we talk about the storm, I'm very scared of hearing the sound or its roar. I really hate it when its stormy.

I love storms!! i like the loud booms of thunder and the lighting and the pouring rain but when people spot a tornado in my area i get scared. Ive never been in a tornado and dont want to be. I usually go outside and sit on our front porch when its storming out just to watch it.

You were actually the inspiration for this discussion, because i remember you saying you love storms, and its STORMY out here today. And i wondered how many other people there are like you out there. I can't say as i really like a good storm. I think i'd rather have it nice out!

I absolutely love big snow storms and thundershowers, lightning shows etc. I do get a bit nervous when they reach the level that peoples lives are in danger.

I bet you can guess right away that I love storms! the perfect day (for me) is rainy! summer rains are the best but I like the cold autumn ones too that keep you inside.. For some reason it just makes me feel safe and secure. Perhaps because I know that I won't be bothered because most people will give up on going out to visit in the rain! lol! I love listening to the thunder and seeing the lightning although my favorite of all favorite days is when it's cloudy and dark with just a soft steady rain taps on my windows. As a kid I remember sitting by my window watching the rain drops cascade down the glass and I would follow each drop with my finger as I tried to guess which path the droplet would take and where it would end up at the end of it's journey down my window. Come to think of it... I still like doing that! Tornado's are a whole different story! lol!

It depends. Some days it's nice and others well I don't enjoy a thing about it. Yesterday we had a windy night, it's actually blow and broken a fence between those who lets say "noisy" and I woke up there dog in our back yard barking for dear life trying to get inside the house. Through the day I felt sorry for it. (looked hungry) So, I do and I don't. ~Joey

It depends on a couple of things. How severe the storm is and if I have to go out in it. :P So long as it isn't too bad I don't mind, as long as I'm inside where it's warm and dry. :)

Storms can be fun. There is something comforting about curling up inside while there is a dreary day outside. However, I agree with you about the strong winds. I, too, am on the lighter side; walking into strong winds definitely doesn't rank high on my "fun activities" list.

I love rainy days when I can stay indoor with the family and enjoy a day of togetherness by the fireplace...but for real stormy days no I don't really like those too much especially not the blizzard like you mention....
