  Sadly not. I love them too.
  
  The dogs hate thunder though, and we have to shut one of them in the dog crate because he's so scared.

  No, because as usual the forecast is wrong
  
  Watching them all stay over France, if any of them make up here, they will have mostly died, and only flirt with the far south-east corner
  
  Uk is now rubbish, if you love storms

  I don't mind storms if I'm indoors but I don't like being out in it

  We get them so rarely I wonder how people can have an aversion to them.

  Dog handled it ok.

  Not looking promising, the dark clouds have eased and we now have red clouds. Alert over.

  Heavy rain and distant rumbles, and a very weird looking pink sky here in the back of beyond

  Phobias are VERY specific these days.

  London isn't a bad place for thunderstorms. I enjoy them but my dog gets shit scared so I had to build a bomb shelter.

  I bet you'd sign up for a trip to Jupiter, just for the weather.

  Does anyone have the forecast storms yet? Personally I love a good storm.

  
  Yes, it's free sky fireworks and good sound effects too!
  
  A stormy night ahead has been predicted (see http://www.netweather.tv/index.cgi?action=weather-alerts;reg=7;sess=) and lightning strikes can be monitored on the sites below:

  Unfortunately, it's all quiet at the moment.

  I only watch the projected BBC local radar forecasts, on TV local news.
  
  And Hurrah, my 20 minute walk tomorrow morning should be sunny. Rain/Thunder clearing overnight.
