Thunderstorm!  
It has been far too long since we had a proper thunderstorm. I've been listening to one blow in all evening and now it's finally got enough steam to force air in through the crack under one of the doors. The wind is a wonderful, eerie sound that would be right at home in a creepy movie.

I love thunderstorms. When I'm inside and dry, that is.

A lot of people don't. My love of them probably comes from growing up with them. Around here, the heat builds up during the spring and summer and gets stifling. One really good thunderstorm can clear out a lot of that excess energy and cool the place off a few degrees. But it has to be a good, drawn out storm. If it's just a half hour or so, it's still hot but with added humidity of nearly 100%. Then it's like living in a steamer basket.

I associate good, long thunderstorms with improved weather. Which is one of the more counter-intuitive associations one could make.
