Thunderstorms scare me, which is not really a good thing when you live in the south. Is there ever a day without mid-afternoon thunderstorms? The rolling of the thunder I think is really what does it....And then that crackle...It's so loud it makes the noise of the jets seem like a background singer in a rock concert.
I want to be able to get over the fear and really enjoy the natural power of it. Oh there it went again... But it's still all so new to me. Growing up we never really had much rain so the thunderstorms were really something I read about or saw in a movie.
On the plane it's a different story. I've been hit by lighting for goodness sake! And I really do like the way we shake rattle and roll up there while we pass a thunderstorm. And I really like looking out the itty bitty tiny window in our galley and looking out across all the clouds and being able to spot the thunderstorms that are happening down there on earth. In the air I guess I feel safer (which I am, I've been hit by lighting remember?) than I do on land. And come on what is more beautiful than seeing a lighting storm in the distance? I guess I just enjoy watching it from above rather than it coming done on me full force!
I don't understand the differance really myself but it is who I am.
