I love storms and everything about them. I like the rain; I like watching it fall in the pale light (if it's daytime), I like listening to it rapping against buildings and tress, and I like the smell of moist air and plants. I like the gentle sound of muffled thunder in the distance, and the ferocity of the closer strikes. I like the suddenly-brightened world during the lightning strikes, especially at nighttime. I like the howl of the wind as it hits the sturdy walls of my house. I even like the power outages that sometimes occur; they change things up a bit and force me to do something other than my usual routine. Also, if I'm riding as a passenger in a car, it's even better; everything seems larger and more real somehow.
