Rainclouds

(Click for larger image)
I love storms. Call me crazy, but standing out on the front porch when there's a big storm blowing in just makes me feel so...alive. The one in this shot didn't really hit us, though...we only got a little bit of rain. It mostly just blew stuff around, though. I have no idea how those clouds didn't drench us.

Someone once told me that I love storms so much because my life has gone through so many periods of insanity that I'm not really satisfied when things are calm anymore. I'm not sure I totally buy that, but it makes sense in a way.

I too LOVE storms. I feel peace, exhilaration, and the strength of them. It is as if my entire being absorbs emotion from them. In other words, I get positive feelings when in this realm of nature’s awesomeness.

I really love storms too. I love to just sit and watch the dark clouds roll by, watch the lightening and listen to the sound of thunder.
There is just something so soothing and relaxing to me about it.

Storms are beautiful! I used to live in Bombay (now in bangalore where it rains almost throughout the year) and we would wait for a good storm... and it would be such fun... usually flooding the streets and all schools would close and mom and dad would stay home coz they couldnt get to work, and we would all have such a lovely time...
