Am I the only one who finds a good thunderstorm relaxing?

I sit out on the porch and just watch (provided the lightning doesn’t get too close) and it is so relaxing.

The bigger the storm the better for me. But not everyone is the same with that. Psychologists have definitely looked in to why that is. There's different theories, with some connecting to animal instinct (like being safe in front of fire), but "pink noise," the noises derived from and in nature, is a common theory. It hits certain people differently. For many it takes the attention off the self and puts it on something bigger. A sense of humility and comfort. It's kind of a trip. Either way, enjoy those big boomers.

@Ynotisay Yes, I really enjoy a nice long storm.
It definitely makes me feel small and humbled, but I love it!

@booinflipflops2 I hear you. I love the humility that comes from being in weather. 👍
