Sojourner Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 I'm sitting here in my apartment, and I can hear thunder rumbling overhead. It's going to storm really soon. I live in the city, right smack downtown. I love it, love being in the middle of everything, but this is one time I wish I was in the country. I can remember sitting on our front porch when I was a kid and watching storm clouds approach over the fields, so dark and ominous. So beautiful, and I think the fact that they're dangerous makes it just that much more fun -- just a little scary, you know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iacobus Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 LOL! I was working at the golf course when it hit here. And I still had stuff to do OUTSIDE! LOL. But I only got soaked once. Than I got to go on a Search and Rescue for the two carts that never came in. I got to ford some mini-rivers. LOL. Reallllllly big puddles.

Sojourner Posted June 12, 2004 Author Share Posted June 12, 2004 Ha ha Iacobus ... Last summer I went hiking during a really big storm once ... it was the BEST. All the trails were like rivers. And the best part was that no one else was out so I had the park mostly to myself. It was really fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crusader_4 Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 Hey funny story i just got back from Iowa (was at the world pork expo) anyway we went to go to a farm a bit north of Des moines. About four miles away is the house from the movie "Twister" so we took a look at it and stuff. Anyway as a little boy from Canada you dont see too many threatning storms at all but at any rate we were driving to a restaurant from dinner right after seeing this house and sure enough the weather turned bad on us and we saw a tornado... i was really wowed was a really special experience.
