I am terrified of the lightning in my whole life. It even wakes me up in my deep sleep at night.
-
If you dont respect lightning you are foolish.
I have always respected it and sometimes you get caught by surprise...like being on a golf course when a sudden thunderstorm moves in.........scary!!!
-
Yeah, if it gets super intense, my anxiety flares up. I like stormy days, though.
-
I'm not but my dog is terrified ... one crack of thunder and between my legs he goes.
-
I am not afraid of lightning if I am safe within my house, but I would definitely look for shelter if out in the open. I actually enjoy watching lightning storms (again, looking out from indoors) but do not like thunder so loud that it makes my ears ring. I understand that lightning strikes usually hit the tallest objects in an area, but there have been exceptions.
-
No I am not scared of the lightning but when it gets really loud I stay calm until it is over
-
Lightning is a beautiful but it can be deadly. I like to see lighting but we have protect our self when we are outside when lightning. Standing under a tree is a bad idea, being in car is a safer side, it has metal roof and sides and we should not use the radio.
-
I wouldn't say I am scared of lightning but I would say I have a healthy respect for it. I live in Florida and its considered to be very lightening prone and there are a lot of lightening caused deaths in Florida especially the area of Florida we live in.
-
Yes, yes ,yes....makes me jump out of my shoes.
-
not really, but after I heard about the guy who got hit by lightening twice, I kinda look out for it now
-
No I like watching it.
-
:'( I am very afraid of lightning. I don't like it at all.
-
It scares me a little. I'm glad when it is over.
-
I'm definitely afraid of lightning if outdoors, so would quickly get inside. I have a friend that was struck by lightning, and thankfully is fine! Even inside, though, if it's intense, I get anxious, since years ago lightning struck our house and caused our tv and garage door opener to short out. If it's bad, I make sure to unplug our desktop computer.
-
sorry no im not afraid of lightning infact i love the way it looks and claps and dances across the sky. Even one time it hit in the backyard close to the house it was awsome.
-
Not if I'm in something. Like if I'm in my house or a car, then I'm fine. But if I'm outside, then I'm completely scared as well.
-
I’m not terrified of lightning, but I don’t like them either.
-
I enjoy thunder, lightening and anything that makes weather more interesting. I love changes. :heart:
-
I'm not afraid of lightening. I like stormy weather. Unfortunately last storm there was a power surge that almost blew the window a/c plug out of the outlet! The a/c still works but the test & reset buttons on the plug don't work anymore.
-
I have a healthy respect for it but not a fear of it. My Dog is so afraid of the lightening and thunder we have to give her medicine to help her through it.
-
I am scared of getting struck by it outside but if i'm inside I would just bump my music and enjoy my day
.
-
not at all. I love it in fact. whenever we have storms, my son and I like to go out on the carport and watch. :)
-
yes, its pretty scary!
-
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
I respect lighting, but I am not scared of lighting.
-
yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! very scare
-
I don't think about lightening that often. But I have a deep respect for it and I would not want to get in its path. You don't want to disrespect something so powerful.
-
I am not really scared of lightning, but I respect it. So I do what my Mom always said was to turn off computers and the like.
-
I don't scared of the lightning. Thank You!
-
Nope! I LOVE thunder and lightening. It find it to be very soothing.
-
sometimes, only if it strikes within 10 miles or so, then yes
-
not really unless it is really close...but i love the sound
-
I'm afraid of the lightening but I love it, and when the thunder shakes the house I love it, I'm silly like that, but I love it....I love a good storm, I have to wind all the way down, so I can listen to the sounds, I get scared a bit but I still love it....this is a time to cut off all the light and everything else....quietness......
-
The lightning is beautiful. I love to watch it change it's shape and light up the sky. However, the thunder sometimes startles me if it's really loud. :o
I've always loved storms. When I was a young girl, I would walk in the rain with my umbrella and sing as loud as I could. :) It was inspiring. :rainbow:
I still like to walk in the rain. I don't do the singing part anymore, though.
I'm afraid people will think I'm a little crazy. :-[
Unfortunately, it seems as though lately rainstorms have been getting too intense. They're not quite as special as before. :(
:fish:
-
I wouldn't say that I'm scared of lightning, but I have a great respect for it. It can do some major damage. I do like to set on the porch and watch it in the distance.
-
Nope, and like I have always told my mother...I am not scared of my shadow either. I just don't think life is hardly worth living if we live it scared.
-
Yes, I am very scared of lightning. It can get pretty intense, like with the past couple of storms we have had here.
-
yes,,i hate it!!!!!!! :snowman:
-
No, I am not scared of lightening. Nor am I scared of thunder. It is just noise. I don't want to be outside in the middle of a lightening storm but I am not scared of it.
-
Yes I am.
-
yes i am
-
My daughter last night, she was keep on looking at the window watching the lightning, keep telling me how scared she was with lightning. It was kind of funny because she keep doing it until the thunderstorm was gone.
-
I love storms. The smell of rain and the sound on the roof is so soothing.
-
i love the way it looks and claps and dances across the sky. I saved a picture of it it was so awesome...
-
I am not scared of lightning, just straight line winds and tornados, them I worry about
-
We live on flat rock and it strikes something every time we have a storm.
-
I find watching lightning and listening to thunder from indoors very soothing usually, as long as both don't get too close. I'm not scared of them, but sudden loud claps of thunder can definitely startle me. If you have good common sense and take shelter during storms, there's really nothing to worry about.
-
not really...I like to watch lightning storms. I even will watch outdoors. I hope everyone has a great weekend...
-
Yes I am scare of the lighting cause I know what damage it can do to you :o :o :o :o
-
Nope! Not Me! Fun to watch! :dog:
-
Generally speaking I love thunder and lightening. I say this with one exception and that is if I'm in the middle of nowhere without anywhere to take cover. Having said that, this doesn't happen very often so I sit home and marvel in the wonder that is, lightening. Strangely I do remember my first experience of thunder and lightening when I was about 4. I was in the UK and the thunder caused an outage. I remember being terrified and hiding underneath the piano in our living room. My mum heard me and came to rescue me. It hasn't tainted my excitement one bit.
-
Oh wow, that's not good. I myself like it, its noise and how it looks.
-
No, there are much more scare than lightning. :P
-
No...only when I'm outdoors or if I feel it could knock the power out (I can't deal with power outages.)
-
If am outside , i will be terrified.
-
I'm scared of it when I'm out in a rain storm, but if I'm inside, then I'm fine. Luckily I haven't been caught out in the rain in a while.
-
I hate lightning and even thunder too. Several months back there was a guy that was at a southern California beach with friends and he went back to the water to watch the sand off his feet and at the same time lightening hit the water and it became electrified and he died. :'( :'(
I shouldn't remember these kinds of stories but it does make you well aware how dangerous lightening can be even where you least expect it.
-
I'm hypersensitive; however, I'm fascinated with thunder and lightning. It entertains me. :heart:
-
I'm not as afraid of thunderstorms as I was when I was a child, but I have a healthy respect for them. And to those who say they are not afraid if they are inside, I know that lightning can come inside. A couple of years ago I watched it streak across the floor in our basement. Some years before that, a young man in our neighborhood was killed when he got out of bed during a storm. Apparently, water had leaked onto the floor beside the bed, and, when he put his foot on the floor, he was struck by lightning coming through a window. Many years ago, before cell phones, my grandmother was in the hospital. While we were visiting her, I heard the most horrible screams by a woman on the same floor. Someone said she was talking on the phone when lightning ran through and burst her eardrums.
-
Nope, if i am in the save place, for instance, while the storm strike, i am inside the building.
But if i caught in the middle of the storm, no covering, lightening become so scary.
-
No, I've always been fascinated by it. I have a nephew that is extremely frightened by storms, thunder and lightening. He starts a panic as soon as the wind starts picking up.
-
No, I actually love storms. I think storms are so cool to watch. I especially enjoy when storms are coming in over the ocean. Have a terrific weekend!
-
:sad1:
I'm so scared of lightning I take precautions. I stay inside, away from windows. Sometimes I hide in the bathroom until the lightning stops. (My bathroom is in the center of the house and does not have windows). If I had a basement, I would retreat there. Storms can be very dangerous. If lightning strikes a tree, branches could fall into the windows of your house. This would shatter the glass and could casue physical harm to anyone near the window. Lightning is dangerous and should not be taken lightly. I hope everyone is careful and takes precautions. After the storm is over though, there's usually :peace: and sometimes :rainbow:
-
I'm not scared of lighting, I like to watch it!
-
I do not blame you if you are terrified by ligtning. It can kill you. Look for tips on how to save your life in these types of situations.
-
Only when the lighting catch me off guard with the cracking and clacking sounds
-
Depends on how close the lightning storm is near my area... I live near a woody area so if it caught on fire, it will be devastating for people and animals around it... Other than tht the first loud out of nowhere lightning can be scary... But overall storm, it doesn't bother me
-
Yes... I stay away form the windows.
-
If the weather's really severe, yeah.
-
if its sky to ground maybe, but most of the time I like to watch the light show in the sky
-
Love Storms,,, thunder lightening all of it. I will sit on my front porch and watch it all at night time !!!!
-
I am really really scare of the lighting verrrrrrry dangerous
-
I am not scared of lightning, but I have a healthy respect for it. I love to be at the beach and watch the lightning come down to the water. I am of course sitting on the balcony of my hotel room, not on the beach.
-
It's never scared me, but I am cautious about going outside during storms. I've always loved to watch them though
-
I have always been afraid of lightning. A fear I have never been able to overcome.
-
I luckily do not that encounter them very often, but I'm definitely afraid of lighting. Of course I'm at all awe of them as well when seeing them from a distance and hearing the amount of power that can come from one lightning bolt.
-
I am not scared of the lightning. Thank You!
-
I absolutely hate (and am scared of) lightning. The thunder is bad enough, but the lightning is a lot louder and unexpected.
-
im more scared of thunder than lightning. With lightning, i can avoid seeing it. But with thunder, I can't exactly cover my ears throughout the storm.
-
i wouldnt say that im afraid of lighting but you also wont see me standing under a tree during a lighting storm either.
-
I'm scared of lightning as well. I always keep my curtain closed and stay away from the windows.
-
Lightning is beautiful to watch from inside your house.
-
Yes and not. If a small one I'm find, but if there are big one. It really scare me.
-
I do like to watch from the safety of the indoors. It can be beautiful but deadly. I like to watch stormy days weather it is rain or snow. Thunder and lighting storms are great to watch from inside.
-
I'm not worried about lightning but I respect it enough to have a surge protector.
-
It only bothers me if it's extremely close and frequent. High winds bother me more than lightning.
-
YES!
-
I am not scared of lightning unless it is striking right near me. I love the sound of thunderstorms at night to help me sleep and relax.
-
No never been scared of lightening. I love storms.
-
Not as long as I am in the house... but when camping, all bets are off...
-
no im not scared of lighting unless its really bad
-
i do not like it at all!!!!!!!!!!!! :bad:
-
If it's super intense, yeah. Not a big fan of thunderstorms.
-
Yes I am afraid of lightning! My mom was struck years ago when she was talking on a corded phone.
-
I hate lighting and thunder storms.
-
Usually the sound of lightning doesn't bother me very much but sometimes it comes out of the blue and scares me like the dickens. It depends on how close it is whether it is scary or not.
-
I would be if I was outside.
Thunder scares me when it's a loud crack.
-
Not if i am in the house.
-
If I'm outside, yes, actually I am a bit....even though I know the chances of getting hit are slim!
-
I am not scared of lightening per se but I have a healthy respect for it. Florida I believe is the lightening capital of the world lol and I sure wouldn't want to get caught out in it.
-
I'm not afraid of it but do highly respect it. There are too many incidents where people are injured or die from lightening.
-
No, I am not scared of lightning. When I was a kid my grandmother taught us to get out of the way and let God do his work. She use to make us sit in a corner in the dark and just be still.
-
I'm not afraid of lightning, but I do respect it. This is a part of nature doing it's thing.
-
I am petrified of thunderstorms, have been since i was born(i'm 18 btw). Well i'm watching the rainfall radar on the Met Office websites as the storms leave France northwards towards Kent and i'm getting very nervous, not only will the storms arrive during the night, but i'm all alone. What can I do to try and make it through the storms? i was thinking of leaving all lights on, close all doors and curtains, turn music right up and talk to people on MSN to take my mind of it. If worse comes to the worse i'll put my fingers in my ears and hide with my head burried under my pillow,
-
no when I'm safe inside
-
I do not like to be outside if there is lightning close but otherwise I'm not all that frightened of it.
-
love thunder storms in the spring and summer,,,, love the lightning ( always careful ) will sit on my front porch in the storm just hear them !!!!1
-
Yes!! I am very afraid of lightning. I don't like it especially when I am on the road.
-
Me, no. My dogs...yes.
-
No but I hate when it knocks out the power
-
I am not afraid but I do respect it. My dog is gets very uneasy during a thunderstorm.....especially if we lose power.
-
It doesn't' scare me but but I can't help but react/jump sometimes if its close by.
-
The lightning that moves your house I hate. At first I usually think its thunder until I hear that loud crack like it hit the ground right outside my window
-
terrified no, sometimes it bothers me, especially if the storm is close and the lightning is striking close, then Im spooked by it
-
I think everyone should be afraid of it. Or what it does to you when all that volt zaps the life out of you. I have seen people first hand been killed by nature. If anyone who is not afraid of getting fried by it then they are crazy. The coroners have dealt with deaths by lightning in my area in some of the most rare occasions.
-
Well generally speaking yes- to be struck by it. But I think it's so beautiful to watch!
-
I have been always scared of lightning since I was a kid.
-
I have a very healthy respect for lightening. Will not go out side when it is near. Stay away from water., not get under trees. Dang sure will not take a shower, bath or do the dishes when it is close. Had a close friend get hit when she was taking a shower, it came up the drain from outside. Thank God she lived. One day we were in the mountains in the truck and lightening hit so close to the passagers side i dang sit in the drivers lap it hit so close. Yep we came down off the mountain and got a motel instead of camping out.
-
I actually like lightning. I find it very beautiful to watch and I often feel energetic during thunderstorms. That being said, I do have a healthy respect for lightning and won't put myself in a position to be hit by it.
-
I was never scared of lightning. However my grandma used to be scared of the storm and she would hide in the bathroom. Now whenever I hear lightning or there is a storm it makes me think of her r.i.p grandma
-
I have always been afraid of lightning as long as I could remember. If it comes a storm before I go to work, I can a cab. I wish I was not so afraid. Hope everyone has a good day. :)
-
I used to be terrified of lightning but not so much anymore. My Mom was the worst person I've ever known as far as being terrified and guess she passed it on to us kids. She would unplug everything in the house and hide in a room with the least amount of windows. Until she found out that it wasn't safe to be in a car during a lightning storm, she would go sit in the car till the storms passed.
-
Lightning is not my friend. I would much rather hear thunder than to see lightning. I had a bad experience with lightning and since that time it frightens me. :)
-
I wouldn't say I am scared of it, just cautious. I remember a few years ago we had a huge lightning storm. It was very cool to watch.
-
I used to be deathly scared of lightning then i pretty much got over it . Even to the point where i went for walks while we had lightning storms. Just didn't bother me anymore
-
no im not scared of the lighting and I don't like it
-
I don't like lighting at all especially hearing the loud thunder afterwards. Most of the time it wakes me up and keeps me up at night.
-
One of the reason that I like about winter is I don`t see any lightning.
-
I respect lightening. While it can be a beautiful sight, its not something I'd want to come in contact with. If I'm on the lake fishing, I'm off the lake as fast as possible.
-
Seems like lightning don`t bother kids as much as I do. Are they tough or don`t know anything about it?
-
Only if I'm sitting close to the windows and when it's that kind of flash that scares the living daylights out of you!
-
I wouldn't say I am scared of it but I do have a lot of respect for lightening :notworthy:
-
I am not scared of lightning per se but being in Florida I certainly have a healthy respect for it. It has long been believed that Florida is the lightning capital of the world but now I read that Rwanda actually has 2 1/2 the lightning strikes of Florida. But we have enough for me to pay attention lol.
-
I'm 30 years old and it still terrifies me. Houston had a bunch of scary storms last week. D;
-
I love seeing lightning and I love when there's a storm. I even like the sound of thunder.
-
As a child I was afraid of thunder and lightening. But as I got older I found it interesting and cool in a way. I know lightening is dangerous, but I am fascinated by it.
-
uhhh no I love a good thunder and lightning storm and will usually sit on my front porch or side deck and watch it unless its raining to hard and i'm getting wet. I'm careful as to not be around trees or have anything metal around me that will attract the lightning to me.
I have never been afraid of storms,,,,,,,,,, ( love horror movies and books also) am I strange or what lol
-
No, I have never been terrified of lightening. I enjoy watching the nature show during thunderstorms.
-
no I am not scare of the lightning it just the work of the Lord
-
Scared, I am not. But I do respect it. Lightning is nothing to be played with. It can affect all your electronics to include your cell phone. Respect it.
-
I love watching a lightning storm, as we don't get them very often here. I'm not such a big fan when the storm is directly overhead, though.
-
I'm fascinated by lightening and thunder. Fortunately, I've never been hurt by lightening so I'm not the least bit afraid. :heart:
-
Not terrified of it; wouldn't want get struck by it, but love to watch it!!!
-
I have been scared of ligthing and storms as long as I can remember. Hope everyone has a good day and may God bless each of you and keep you safe. :)
-
yes i hate it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-\
-
No I am not afraid of it. You said it wakes you up...not trying to make fun but I think the thunder wakes you up. I personally sleep better if it is storming.
-
I like to watch scary movies when the lighting comes out so I guess I have to say no to that :). It rarely wakes me up and I'm a light sleeper so I find that sort of funny.
-
I'm fascinated by lightening as well so I can't say I'm afraid of it.
-
No I like it , it's mother natures 4th of July show
-
yeah, you can get toasted
-
Yes!! VERY scared!!
-
For the first time, I saw in the news, the lightning hit the car and it damaged inside, I never thought it could happen.
-
im not as scared of lightning as thunder.
i think it's pretty cool to see lightning lighting up the sky
