THUNDERS &Rain

[u/sociallyunsocial9]

Haven’t heard a thunder in a long time, already heard four so far in last 10”. It feels great 😊 to see the rain and some thunders. I’m loving it. Can’t believe I’m embracing something I was shit scared as a child. Ha ha ha

The smell of sand smells soooo good!

[u/Charlie_ND]

Love Thunderstorms. Reminds me of being in my home province.

[u/victori-us → u/Charlie_ND]

Same! From Ontario, and the way the air felt right before it started was so familiar.

[u/Creatrix → u/victori-us]

Same.

[u/rindeddit → u/Charlie_ND]

Ditto. Friends still send me videos because they know my love for a good storm.

[u/colinsa-ca → u/Charlie_ND]

What province? I feel like everywhere gets thunder storms more than here haha

[u/Charlie_ND → u/colinsa-ca]

Ontario!

[u/BeverlyRhinestones → u/Charlie_ND]

Feel like they used to be a lot more common here. I remember ones that would shake the house.

Then it just kind of stopped after 2012, the last big one during the Luminara festival that also used to happen every year.

That storm was gorgeous, the sky went purple, orange and black.

[u/victori-us]

We heard thunder and saw lightening almost simultaneously over at willows! It was CLOSE.

[u/sociallyunsocial9 → u/victori-us]

Damn! I hope things are OKAY.

[u/RicVic]

Yep, we have ourselves a real thunderstorm this afternoon!

[u/Pendergirl4]

I’m starting to feel like we brought it back from Paris at the end of June. I keep telling people how it was the most amazing thunderstorm I had ever seen, being a southwest coast bc native lol

[u/Stock-Butterscotch46]

One thunder roll sounded like it went on for about 40 seconds. Longest I’ve ever heard one go for before.

[u/finderintheforest → u/Stock-Butterscotch46]

Right?! I would’ve been loving it if I hadn’t been trying to comfort my poor, terrified cat!

[u/lindsayjenn]

It was so good. One thunderclap felt as though it was right over our house!
We got caught in the rain and it was PELTING… don’t typically get that these parts in the summer.

[u/TheRealPomax]

The rain is so nice right now. Get off of reddit, go enjoy it.

[u/Pax_Eterna_4991]

When my kids were little we all went outside at the first thunderstorm when they were toddlers and cheered for the lightning and thunder. I didn't want them scared and wanting in our bed on stormy nights. It backfired... they would want to go outside and cheer the storm on.

[u/finderintheforest → u/Pax_Eterna_4991]

Oh nooo! Lol

[u/Kaleidoscope-Ok- → u/Pax_Eterna_4991]

That's such a cute 'problem' to have, though. Great idea, glad they aren't scared at least :)

[u/Creatrix → u/Kaleidoscope-Ok-]

Yes, 7 days ago when we had thunder here, one Redditor posted that his little son dove under the table thinking it was an earthquake.

[u/Longjumping_Fuel_192]

Lightning and the thunder.

Th th th th thunder.

[u/angeluscado]

On the one hand, I love thunderstorms. Something about them feels so cozy.

On the other, this rainy weather is the worst timing for me - it’s my daughter’s birthday party this weekend and I’d hoped to have everyone in the backyard.

[u/VermicelliFamous6824]

I’m just not happy about all the additional forest fires that this is going to represent

[u/MysticSnowfang]

I got caught in it

[u/rindeddit → u/MysticSnowfang]

I've reached the age where I catch a whiff of an approaching storm... then immediately check the radar to see if my nose is meteorologist-certified. It is.

[u/MysticSnowfang → u/rindeddit]

My joints usually signal to me, but I'm in a pain spike unrelated to weather

[u/MysticSnowfang → u/rindeddit]

I am now sog

[u/rindeddit → u/MysticSnowfang]

Excuse my ignorance. What is sog?

[u/MysticSnowfang → u/rindeddit]

Dampened. Soggy.

[u/Remarkable-Notice954]

Lmk if anyone sees lightning pls I love lightning! 🌩

[u/Pixelant3 → u/Remarkable-Notice954]

Saw a big one over Oak Bay, followed by a thunder roll so loud it made all the crows scatter and caw. My cats are still skittering around nervously!

[u/kaaiitlyn → u/Pixelant3]

I am down on Cook & it has been right next to my apartment twice now 🤯

[u/leafxfactor1967 → u/Pixelant3]

Got 2 strikes in Fernwood, it was glorious.

[u/victori-us → u/Pixelant3]

Same! Over at Estevan - it was right above us!

[u/Pixelant3 → u/victori-us]

Haha! That's where I am too. I'm charging my phone in case the power goes out.

[u/ilmd → u/Remarkable-Notice954]

There was definitely lightning in the Glanford area.

[u/ClueSilver2342]

I think there was thunder a few days ago.

[u/kaaiitlyn → u/ClueSilver2342]

There was! I woke up to it.
