Why Thunderstorms?? Explanation needed...

[beerbelly]

second time = ST
anagram of mothers under ( lacking E for energy )
= ST MOTHRSUNDER
which should make ....THUNDERSTORMS

[BigMac]

Remove one E from "mother's under" ("lacking Energy")

Add a T (the second Time)

Giving 'dizzy' mothrsundert = anagram = thunderstorm

Not sure where the extra S comes from, though....
