OMG it's turned as black as night here and I am terrified of thunder and lighning

[Bobbisox]

and I hear it rumbling in the distance,
I blame my Mam for this :-(
sweeping all knives and forks off the table and opening windows to let it pass through
if I disappear in a puff of smoke because I am on here,
it was good while it lasted :o((((

[emmie]

[Bobbisox]

O_G, I'll pass ta,

it's a little brighter now em10, with millions of pounds worth of gear, they send out a weather warning for us, we have had one thunderstorm! hardly big in size, scary but that's because I am fearful of them

[LoftyLottie]

I absolutely love a good storm, but the overhead, unexpected thunderclap just as I was unloading my shopping made me jump sky high!!! It was so loud it made my ears ring.

I love watching storms with loads of lightening and thunder. My dad used to carry me to a window to watch when I was a mere little tot. We lived in a block of flats and he used to take me to the large window on one of the landings. I loved my Dad.

My aunt used to hide in the coal cupboard at the first sign of a thunder storm (we had coal fires in those days). I was afraid to keep a metal hair clip in my hair in case the lightning struck it - my mother said lightning always struck metal. Amazing what we become afraid of because of what other people tell us.

Star your aunt sounds just like my mum. She hasd a chair in the understairs cupboard and always locked herself in during a storm, always removed curlers and grips from her hair, covered mirrors and hid cutlery.
