We do the same here. Always have watched the rain. The covered porch is very small We do love watching the rain.

No thunderstorms and that makes me sad! I love a good thunderstorm! When we were in North Carolina we used to pop popcorn and sit out on the back (covered) deck to watch them! I do like the lack of major storms like hurricanes and tornados! We might get a little earthquake now and again though.

We still live in NC, and I used to watch the 'T' storms all the time from my shop area (a lean-to on back of the old 4 section pigeon loft building)
I got hit by a ground strike while I was holding on to an umbrella (YES I know just how dumb that was) looking out the south opening. My DW found me on the dirt floor, and I didn't have any idea what happened or why I was on my back in the dirt and hurt all over. I don't enjoy 'T' storms anymore.

Sick! You should for sure buy a lottery ticket then!
I had never seen rain come down till we lived in North Carolina!! Hubby was in the Marines so we lived near Jacksonville for 2 years. When it rained it didn't mess around!

I've never actually been hit, but I have been a little too close to a few too many lightning strikes to really enjoy a thunderstorm.

Unfortunately, at this time of year, the rain does mess around - just enough to make mud and stay that way.

I love the sound! I'm weird though...I like earthquakes too. I've never been in a HUGE one though...that I probably wouldn't like. I grew up near San Francisco so I experienced the big one that happened during the World Series, I think it was 1989? I was in my car at a stop light and I thought someone had got behind my car and was pushing up and down on my bumper with their feet. That was pretty big.

I never use an umbrella, I am certain I would get hit by lightning. I just rather be soaked than take the chance.

How about wind. Anyone like that? No umbrellas in wind..... It will warm things up though... considering it is 8 now.....

"Wind chill values as low as -7. Very windy, with a west wind 21 to 26 mph increasing to 35 to 40 mph after midnight. Winds could gust as high as 65 mph. Chance of precipitation is 10%.

Umbrellas are useless in the wind, mine always go inside out.
